Hi,
I'm a US Citizen. I want to sponsor GC for both my parents. Few questions..
1) My mom is here in US on B2 visa and my dad will be visiting on B2 visa in June. Can I sponsor for GC before he gets here? I heard that there might be problem in getting a tourist visa while GC is in process. Since he already has the tourist visa, I'm assuming it's ok to file I-130.
2) I read in some posts that you can file both I-130 & I-485 at the same time? Does this apply only if the person being sponsored is in the US & intends to stay here til they get the GC? My parents will be leaving in Aug,05.
3)Once my parents get the GC, they have to come here to get the stamping done every year. How long do they have to stay each time they visit? Do they have to stay for a min. of 6 months each time?
Pl. reply. Thanks a lot!
