green card

ma parents are lpr of usa how much time it take if they apply green card for me . i am under 21 plz help me

google for visa bulletin.

check the priority date for your country for family 2A also check into possible "follow to join" benefits IF they were "preferfence" immigrants...IF they were Immediate Relayives then follow to join is out of the question.

How close are you to 21? You might end up being 2B instead. IF you get married before immigrating you would lose the opportunity UNLESS the parent naturalizes first then you would move to a different category.

It may be wise for each parent to file an I-130 in case one naturalizes before the other. It used to be that each parent would file in case one died but that is no longer required because of a change to INA 204(l).

How did they get their green cards? Was it through employment? Or your grandparent or uncle or aunt who filed for them? You may be eligible for a derivative green card very soon, depending on how they got theirs.

Are you inside or outside the US? If inside, legally or illegally? When did your parents obtain their green cards? Are you married?

Your answers to these questions will affect your options for a green card.

i am 16 yrs old. ma parents got green card cos ma sis has applied for them as immidiate relatives thnx for all your help n wht is expected waiting time after applying for me?
