Bringing Grandparents to USA

Hi all,

I have a question regarding applying for AOS for grandparents, and here is the back story.

My husband is a USC by birth, and he's wondering if he could apply AOS through family for his grandparents.

My husband's father, who was a US citizen, has recently passed away and had never filed for the grandparents. The grandparents have other children who are currently in US, but they are only greencard holders and not citizens.

I have done some research and think it is unlikely for my husband to do so. However, I would like to get a more definite answer before telling him "NO". I have been coming to this forum for quite a while now and I have gotten so much help with my own AOS case; please help my with this question!

I apologize in advance if this is a repeating topic.

Thank you all!

There is no grandparent visa; your husband should encourage one of his aunts or uncles who are greencard holders to become citizens, so they can petition the grandparents.

Not possible.

If finance is the issue, your husband can pay for the n400 fees to help his aunt/uncle to naturalize. Your husband can also shoulder the i130 fees and be a joint sponsor for the affidavit of support. That's all he can do on his end.

As previously suggested, one of the children must naturalize in order to file for their parent.
