Hi Everyone!

Wow, it has been a while since I was on this site! I am currently waiting for my removal of conditions of my green card through marriage of a USC and after that I will apply for citizenship. Once I become a citizen I would like to apply for my parents to get their permanent residence as well.

Here are my questions:

1) My mom and dad were never legally married but they have been together for over 25 years. Will this be a problem?

2) My dad turned 70 this year. Can he still apply by the time he is 71? Are there age limits?

3) Would it be easier to have them come on their tourist visas and do an adjustment of status while they are here OR should we apply while they are in Ecuador? (Somehow it seems like things are just easier if you are in the USA when you apply)

Those are my questions for now. Thank you for your help!

1) You'll be filing separate petitions for them so it shouldn't be a problem. As long as their names are on your birth certificate and you can show that they are your actual mother and father.

2) There are currently no age limits. As long as he can pass the medical exam when the time comes, it should be fine.

3) You can't adjust status while in the US when you obtained the tourist visa with an intent to immigrate. That would be deemed immigration fraud. You should just petition for them once you become a USC and while they remain in Ecuador.

Best of luck!
