Q: Best route or process to claim parents that have been here in the US to have them get their travel and work permit?
Mother has been in the US for over 15 years and I’m her 22 year old son ready to claim her and have her paperwork get started what’s are the first steps to doing so ?
A:
You did not provide sufficient details in your posting. If you are a U.S. citizen you can file the FORM I-130 on behalf of your parent. If your parent is not inadmissible for any reason and has lawfully entered the U.S. then the FORM I-485 can be filed with USCIS.
I highly recommend that you visit an experienced immigration attorney to provide you with personalized guidance.
A: A US citizen son can sponsor his mom for a green card even if mom has overstayed her visa. Retain counsel to handle the case from start to finish.
