I will become a US citizen in about 9 months I applied about
2 months ago and did a finger print about month ago in San
Francisco,
My dad who is a Canadian citizen just came here visiting me
legally 3 days ago .
in July 2014 he was deported from California because of
overstaying and was not allowed to come back to US for 5
years . in 2017 he applied( I-212) for Permission to
Reapply for Admission into US After Deportation and it was
granted in March 2017 .
since 2017 he came here 3 times and went back to Canada .
My question is if my dad stays in US and when I become a US
citizen can I apply and get him a green card ? by the time I
am citizen he will be overstaying for 6 months . I am 23
years old. my dad never had a criminal record . the reason
he wants to stay here is because of my 16 years old (US
Citizen) sister is seriously sick, TNX
A: When you became a US citizen, you can sponsor your father for a green card. Rather than overstaying, why doesn't he apply for an extension of his status?
