Hello,

I just became a permanent resident (Green Card Holder) few weeks ago based on K1 Visa. I have the following questions:

1. Can I apply to bring my parents from Syria to the United States to visit me ?

2. As a green card holder, will that help in anyway if my parents want to apply for a tourist visa?

3. Is there a specific process (forms, etc...) I need to use as a green card holder to bring my parents here to visit me?

Thanks

No, they must qualify on their own. You cannot do anything that will help them get the visa. They should show strong ties to home.

Syria?

To get a visitor visa, yes based on the question. We don't know anything about the OP's family situation. They could have a more stable life there. OP isn't asking about refugee status.

Do you have a different response?

Well there is no Consulate operating in Syria.

Let me try and think of what situation somebody living in Syria could hope to get a visitor visa....

***** One non contributory post removed. Post constructive advice for the Op or do not post; Syria is not the safest country right now, but there are still people living there who WANT to live there, who have family and businesses there. ******

concentrate on the reasons they need to return.

+1

You having a GC wont help. In fact, it could potentially show a reason for them not to return.

If you have been here more than 5 years, get a US citizenship in 4-5 mths, then file the sponsorship for your parents. This would be the fastest route.

They want to visit, not immigrate, so this is irrelevant.

Hi,

I just got my permanent resident card (Green Card) a month ago. My parents are planning to apply for Tourist Visa - B2 Visa to come and visit me. We got the following questions:

1. Do my parents need to apply separately?

2. If so, can we choose same day for the interview?

3. Can they interview the consular together, or each one will be interviewed separately?

4. Do we need to present supporting documents for each one of them separately?

4. Is it possible that they give a Visa to one and deny the other?
