Bring Your Parents to the U.S.
If you're a U.S. citizen ready to bring your parents home, Occam Immigration handles every step of the I-130 process — from eligibility review to interview preparation. Parents of U.S. citizens are immediate relatives, which means no visa backlog and a faster path to permanent residency.
As immediate relatives, your parents have no visa backlog — don't wait.

Top Pitfalls That Derail So Many Applications
The Green Card for Parents process has fewer moving parts than other family categories — but the pitfalls that exist are serious. Here are the four most common problems we see before families come to us.
Petitioner Under Age 21
You must be at least 21 years old to file for a parent. Filing too early gets the petition rejected — we track your eligibility window.
Insufficient Affidavit of Support
A weak I-864 can expose your parent to a public charge finding and denial. We build a thorough financial package that satisfies USCIS standards.
Parent's Prior Immigration Violations
An overstay, prior removal, or unlawful presence in your parent's history can complicate or block approval. We identify these issues early and plan around them.

Families Who Made It Happen
A Decade Apart to Reunited in Six Months
“I had been separated from my mother for over a decade. Occam walked me through every step, prepared all the forms, and had us filing within a month. She landed six months later. I still can't believe it happened that smoothly.”
Jason T., U.S. Citizen Petitioner
Verified Occam Immigration Client
Old Overstay, New Green Card
“My father had overstayed a visa years ago and I was worried we had no options. Occam assessed the situation honestly, found a path forward, and guided us the whole way. He has his green card now.”
Valentina S., Dallas, TX

I-864 Stress to Zero RFEs
“I was nervous about the financial requirements because my income fluctuates. Occam helped me put together a complete package that clearly met the standard. No RFE, no issues.”
Marcus B., Petitioner

Two Parents Sponsored, Both Approved Same Year
“We sponsored both my mother and father at the same time. Occam kept both cases organized and moving. It felt like they actually cared about getting our family together, not just processing paperwork.”

Green Card for Parents — Questions Answered
No. Only U.S. citizens can petition for parents. Lawful permanent residents are not eligible to sponsor parents under any family-based category. We verify your status at the start of every case.
The U.S. citizen petitioner must be at least 21 years old at the time of filing. There is no workaround — the petition will be rejected if filed before age 21.
Parents of U.S. citizens are immediate relatives, which means there is no visa backlog. Consular processing typically takes 12–18 months. Adjustment of Status for parents already in the U.S. may follow a similar or shorter timeline depending on the USCIS service center.
Prior immigration violations can complicate or block the process — but not always. The right strategy depends on the specifics. We assess risk early, identify applicable waivers, and build a plan before filing.
Form I-864 is a legally binding document where you agree to financially support your parent at or above 125% of the federal poverty guidelines. A weak or incomplete I-864 is a leading cause of denial. We handle this carefully so it does not become a problem.
