Green Card for Parents — Immigration Attorney in Chicago

U.S. citizens who are 21 years or older can sponsor their parents for permanent residence (green cards) as immediate relatives, meaning there is no visa number waiting period. At Liberum Law, our immigration attorneys in Chicago help families reunite by preparing and filing I-130 petitions for parents.

The parent green card process involves filing an I-130 petition establishing the parent-child relationship, adjustment of status (I-485) if the parent is in the U.S. or consular processing if abroad, gathering evidence including birth certificates, citizenship proof, and financial support documentation (I-864 Affidavit of Support), and attending a USCIS interview or consular interview.

Our attorneys handle cases involving both married and unmarried parents, step-parents (if the marriage creating the step-relationship occurred before the child turned 18), and adoptive parents (if the adoption was finalized before the child turned 16). We also address complications such as prior immigration violations, unlawful presence, and inadmissibility grounds.
