Hi,

Is it possible to bring my parents to the U.S. permanently? I am a U.S. permanent resident. I heard that it is not possible to sponser parents if you are not a U.S. citizen. However, I also heard that it is possible if your parents are older than 65. Does anybody know?

Thanks.

Only US citizens can sponsor their parents to live permanently in the US. There is no relaxation to this rule based on parents' age.
 
Hi all:

I'm trying to bring my parents over for good since I have citizenship. They got I-130 approved and they got an appointment at chennai consulate in June. They need to get their medical examination done before the interview by a consulate approved doctor. Has anyone heard of some getting their green card rejected due to medical reasons? i.e failed medical examination reports? I'm trying to figure out what kind of health issues will prevent you from getting through the interview.
