If you’re a U.S. citizen looking to bring your parents to live permanently in the United States, the IR5 parent green card is the pathway you need. In this episode, we walk you through the 2025 process step-by-step, plus answer the most common questions applicants have.

You’ll learn:

• Eligibility Requirements – Only U.S. citizens aged 21 and older can petition for their parents. We explain the documents you’ll need to prove citizenship and relationship.

• The Application Process – From filing Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) with USCIS, to National Visa Center (NVC) processing, and attending the consular interview.

• No Quotas for Parents – Why parents of U.S. citizens are considered “immediate relatives” and face no annual visa caps, meaning faster processing compared to other family categories.

• Required Supporting Documents – Birth certificates, proof of citizenship, police clearances, and financial sponsorship forms.

• Financial Sponsorship Rules – Understanding the affidavit of support and income requirements to meet U.S. government guidelines.

• Interview Tips – How your parents can prepare for common questions, medical exams, and document verification.

• After Arrival in the U.S. – What to expect when receiving their green card, Social Security number, and lawful permanent resident status.
