Bringing Parents in US from PH

[Rianne 0]

Good day Everyone, 

 

I become a us citizen couple years, I am planning to petition my parents from the philippines. 

My questions are: 

1. My parents got married after I was born. Do I still need their marriage license to petition or my birth certificate with their names are good enough? 

 

2. What are the requirements to petition of my parents? 
3. I make $50k/year. If I combine my husband’s income it will be $103k total/ year.. I am planning to use only my income to petition my parents. Would that be a good ideA? 
4. If I petition both. Do I need to send 2 different packet? Or just make it one packet for both? 

 

Thank you in advance.

2. Follow the guides to get the requirements in order to petition your parents. https://www.visajourney.com/content/immigration-parents-overview

 

3. Your income alone would be enough to petition your parents. 

4. It would 2 separate packets not 1.

A lot seems to depend on their age, will they be retiring in the US, will they be working once they get here?

About your 1st question:

In the initial application, you only need proof that you are their child. If they appear on your birth certificate as your mother and father, you’re good. That’s all USCIS wants to see: YOUR relationship with each beneficiary. 

Even if they never got married, it wouldn’t make them ineligible to be your beneficiaries.

Wishing you and your parents the best.

I have nothing new to add, previous posters got your q's covered... but wanted to say good luck and how exciting!  I will be embarking on this journey sometime this year... I'm very excited to have my parents here.
