Reuniting with the parents who raised you is one of the most rewarding privileges of United States citizenship. As a U.S. citizen over the age of 21, you have the right to sponsor your mother and father for Lawful Permanent Residency (Green Card) as ‘Immediate Relatives.’ This special classification means there are no annual visa caps and no waiting lists for a visa number to become available.
In this category, CLINCH LAW FIRM guides you through every step of the IR-5 visa process. Whether your parents are currently outside the U.S. (Consular Processing) or are already here visiting (Adjustment of Status), we provide the strategic expertise needed to handle Form I-130, the Affidavit of Support (I-864), and complex admissibility issues. Let us handle the legal details so you can focus on welcoming your family home.
U.S. citizens age 21 or older can file Form I-130 for their parents, and the IR-5 category has no visa bulletin wait. We cover the Ankara interview, the new I-864 credit check, public charge review for older parents, and current fees.
