Green Card Sponsorship for Parents Living in the USA

[peetee91 7]

Hi All, 

 

I created this thread as most of them are for sponsoring parents that are abroad, and there is no really one for parents that are already in the USA. 

 

A brief overview of my case. 

I am a US citizen since 2019 and have filed for sponsorship for my parents back in November 2019. My parent are both here in the US. Case was filed based on residency in New York. 

 

They have received their Employment authorization cards three months after submitting all the paper work. In December 2020 we filed for renewal, my mom received her card within 3 week period without going for biometrics again and my father is still waiting to receive his new employment authorization which will expire in March. 

 

Is there anyone in the same situation sponsoring their parent her in the US and what are your stories, timelines?

many i485s are being processed in 15-36 months due to the increase in demand. IR5  cases are straight forward.
