My parent just got first letter from immigration department to submit their document and fees.

They already have a visitor visa and they were planning to visit USA within a month.

But as they got a letter from NVC to start their paperwork, we are not sure how should we approach on this situation.

Can we simply submit all the documents where they are in India and do rest of paper work when they are here??

Any help / guidance will be a great help.

Thanks in advance.

It's immigration fraud to enter the U.S with a temporary visa with the intent to adjust status. Your parent should enter and visit with his/her B2 visa meanwhile you guys should submit the required documentation to the NVC for consular processing in India as soon as possible to begin processing. It shouldn't take long for the documents to be all reviewed and an interview scheduled. It could even be done within a 6 month timeframe which is exactly same timeframe your parent will be likely given to stay in the U.S with the B2 visa. So by the time visitation is done he/she will be going home to attend the immigrant visa interview in India. That's the legal and smartest approach to do it.

Thank you Starkilla09 for information.

Why it would be count as fraud even if they are legally present.

I would love to do rest of the processing here as my parents are old and would like to avoid any hassle for them going back to India.

Let me know what are steps involved once they are here if you have an idea.

Thanks

You said they are in India, to immigrate they need an Immigrant Visa.

Sadist would describe someone putting their elderly parents in immigration detention pending deportation.
