Green Card Holder Sponsoring Mother
Question for the gurus:
A friend of mine has her mother living in Portugal.
She is her only daughter, and she is a green card holder.
1) Is there any expedite way to bring her mother to live with her in the U.S.?
2) Which petition or document # need to be filed?
3) How long would that take?
Thanks, Ed.

Her mother can visit her, but she can not sponsor her for a GC. Only US citizens of
at least age 21 can sponsor their parents for a GC. Parents are considered immediate
relatives, so there would be no quota.

Is there any avenue via "compassion grounds"? Her Mom is her only relative, and
vice-versa... Ed.

Nope. The only way is for the daughter to become a US citizen and then sponsor
the mother.

There is such a thing as humanitarian parole which could be used to get the parent
into the U.S. It would have to be renewed at least yearly, often quarterly. It
requires an extreme situation, a real tearjerker, to be successful.
