Re: Parent of US citizen
That is true in general. However, in post #25, Mr Folinsky pointed out that "Also, one of the classic reasons for an LPR to stay abroad for an extended period without abandonment of status is the precise situation noted."
It looks like there might be a simple solution to the OP's problem. But again, a legal consultation is in order.

Re: Parent of US citizen
quoted from the uscis.gov website
Joint Sponsor
A joint sponsor is someone who is willing to accept legal responsibility for supporting your family member with you. A joint sponsor must meet all the same requirements as you, except the joint sponsor does not need to be related to the immigrant. The joint sponsor (or the joint sponsor and his or her household) must reach the 125% income requirement alone. You cannot combine your income with that of a joint sponsor to meet the income requirement.

Lawful Permanent Resident.
Aka "lapper" among those in the field.
Section 101(a)(20) Immigration & Nationality Act:
"(20) The term 'lawfully admitted for permanent residence' means the status of having been lawfully accorded the privilege of residing permanently in the United States as an immigrant in accordance with the immigration laws, such status not having changed."
This gets litigated. In 1996 Congress changed 101(a)(13) from "entry" into "admission" and the fun has not stopped since.

Re: Parent of US citizen
The forum police are really out in force tonight.
Co-sponsor is a valid term as is joint sponsor, or are all the immigration attorney websites, forums etc I've read over the years been wrong too.
Is everyone here so hostile to someone just trying to help?
