Q: Visa application

A: A US Citizen child over 21 can sponsor mom and dad for green cards if they entered the US with permission. This is true even if they overstayed their visa. If the case is handled correctly, their cases won’t get rejected. Retain an immigration lawyer who will process the case so it goes smoothly without delays or denials. You can hire counsel in any state.

A: If your parents' visa application is rejected, it does not automatically lead to deportation. Deportation typically occurs when someone is already in a country without proper authorization or has violated the terms of their visa.

If your parents are currently outside the country for which they are applying for a visa, and their application is denied, they will simply not be granted entry into that country. They will remain in their current location and will not face deportation from the country they are seeking to visit.

However, if your parents are already in the country for which they are applying for a visa (e.g., they entered on a different type of visa or through a visa waiver program), and their application for a new visa or visa extension is denied, they may be required to leave the country. If they fail to leave by the designated date, they could potentially face deportation proceedings.

It's important to carefully review the visa application requirements and provide all necessary documentation to minimize the risk of a visa denial. If you have concerns about your specific situation, it may be helpful to consult with an immigration attorney for personalized advice.
