What options do I have to help my parents get a green card? 11 Answers as of November 15, 2011

They will have to be outside US for 10 years.

To properly advise you I would need to see the deportation orders given to your parents and review any criminal records that either may have, assess whether they are eligible for a waiver and if so what the equities are to evaluate the likelihood.

Your parents will have to wait 10 years after they were deported before re-applying for admission. You will have to file 2 separate I-130 applications for them (one each) and wait for them to be approved. Do that a few years from now. When they get ready to be interviewed, then you will have to have an attorney prepare a good waiver application for each of them since they have been deported from the US. You should expect to pay no less than 10K for the both of them conservatively.

Unfortuantely, your parents are barred from returning to the U.S. for 10 years.

Since your parents have been deported, they face a 10 yr bar, you might be able to apply for a waiver of this bar based on your circumstances, otherwise I do not see any other options but to wait the 10yrs, which you only have 6 more years to go.

It will depend on the reason for the deportation and if need and they qualify for waiver. You start by filing the relative petition and after approval it goes to the NVC and then to their home consulate for the immigrant visa and waiver (if required). Please note that the waiver process at many consulates goes through the Admissibility Review Office (ARO), and that takes 6-8 months or more.

You could seek to petition for your parents to receive an immigrant visa. They will need a waiver for unlawful presence as well as an application for readmission after deportation. These are based upon hardship to you if they are not allowed to re-enter. The likelihood of success will depend upon many factors including their prior immigration history and your particular facts. You are looking at approximately $2,500 in filing fees. Our office typically charges a fee of $5000 to $6500 for legal services in such cases. However, we would need additional information about the case to give a firm price.

You can petition your parents for an immigrant visa if you are a U.S. citizen. They will for sure require waivers because of their unlawful presence and deportation in order to be granted an immigrant visa but may face additional challenges depending on other grounds for their deportation.

You may be eligible to petition for your parents to return to the United States.

You can sponsor your parents.
