Parent Protection Program I-130

Protect Your Parents with the Parent Protection Program

At US Immigration Consultants, we are dedicated to keeping families together and providing peace of mind to those navigating the U.S. immigration process. Our Parent Protection Program is your pathway to securing a safer future for your parents and shielding them from deportation.

What is the Parent Protection Program?

This program is built around the I-130 Petition for Relatives, a crucial step in helping U.S. citizens and permanent residents sponsor their parents for legal status. Through this program, eligible parents can receive a letter of protection, offering them temporary relief from deportation while their petition is being processed.

Why It Matters

Deportation can disrupt families and create uncertainty. The Parent Protection Program provides:

  • Protection: A letter to safeguard your parents from deportation.

  • Family Unity: A legal framework to keep your family together.

  • Peace of Mind: Assurance that your parents have a safety net during this critical process.

Who Can Apply?

  • U.S. Citizens: If you’re 21 or older, you can file an I-130 petition to sponsor your parents.

  • Parents in the U.S.: Whether undocumented or on temporary status, this program offers critical protection.

Parent Protection Program Process

  1. File Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) – Your U.S. citizen child submits this petition to USCIS.

  2. Determine Your Pathway – If eligible, apply for Adjustment of Status (if in the U.S.) or Consular Processing (if outside the U.S.).

  3. Submit Required Documentation – Provide proof of the parent-child relationship and other supporting documents.

  4. Attend Biometrics Appointment – Complete fingerprinting and background checks.

  5. Interview with USCIS or U.S. Embassy – Demonstrate eligibility and meet immigration requirements.

  6. Receive Legal Status – If approved, you obtain a Green Card, allowing you to live and work legally in the U.S.
