What is the Parent Protection Program?

The Parent Protection Program is designed to allow U.S. citizens to petition for their parents to obtain lawful permanent residency in the United States. This program aims to strengthen family unity and provide legal status to parents of U.S. citizens.

What documents are required to support the I-130 petition?

Required documents typically include proof of the U.S. citizen’s status (such as a birth certificate or passport), a copy of the parent’s birth certificate, marriage certificates (if applicable), and any other documentation that verifies the relationship.

How can my parent become a permanent resident after the petition is approved?

After the I-130 petition is approved, the parent can apply for permanent residency by filing Form I-485 if they are in the U.S. or by applying for an immigrant visa if they are abroad. They will need to undergo medical examinations and may need to attend an interview.
