If you are a United States citizen, you may be able to help your parents get green cards through the immigrant visa process or the adjustment of status process:
If your parents are already in the United States…
the adjustment of status process may be an option for your parents.
If your parents are already in the United States, they may be eligible for adjustment of status. Adjustment of status is a process of obtaining a green card while you are in the United States. Not everyone will qualify for adjustment of status and it is very important to ensure that your parents meet all the requirements before moving forward with this process.
If your parents are not in the United States…
the immigrant visa process may be an option for your parents.
The immigrant visa process is an option that may allow your parents to lawfully immigrate to the United States. When they enter the United States using an immigrant visa, they will become permanent residents and get green cards. If your parents are not in the United States (or if they are in the United States but do not qualify for adjustment of status) you should learn more about the immigrant visa process.
