    I am in the same position. After i130 approval haven't received any initial contact from NVC, so don't even know if they have it. So I called USCIS (twice to make sure to cross-reference), and got consistent response that it was forwarded to NVC only 45 days after the approval date. So who knows now how long it will take NVC to receive and process it and then get back to me with further instructions...

    When were your I130 approved?

    She is not “required” per se, but with the new public charge ruling effective as of Feb 24, 2020 it became much stricter and more application will be denied. Just to be on the safe side it’s good to have policy already selected to show at the interview. However, I haven’t found any recent interview experiences after the new rule was put in place.

    To clarify, I have to have insurance for them paid for and ready by the time they go into the interviews? 

     

    I'm guessing with COVID these interviews won't happen for a while.

    My mom is 61, I looked into 6 to 12-month temp insurance policies - they start around $200 and up to have something as soon as she gets here, but not sure if it’s good enough for the interview.

    I haven't been following the latest policy guidelines. Are you parents required to get insurance in order get their green cards or just that they are getting insurance in general?

    I do not see any new laws on the immigration front, I can not see with the US political system any getting agreed.

     

    I could see the Public Charge issue being tightened up, most western countries have much tighter requirements, and obviously the current requirements have no relationship to the likely costs of someone aged or with medical issues moving to the US.

    Yeah, public charge is an issue I can foresee, and again, that's a couple years away for me to formulate a strategy. 

     

    Tried to answer your other questions, but didn't know where edit button went

    Obviously siblings take a long time and who knows how future immigration laws will change so based on current laws my first thought would be is this an issue for your Parents to move? If they have a life expectancy longer than the sibling petition then this seems overkill. If they are older/health issues that raises another can of worms.

     

    It's really insurance for me. Both parents are healthy, but I have no idea what the future holds and I want to dot all my i's and cross all my t's.

    They don’t have the right to interfere at all with USC entry / exit.  Once they verify citizenship their jurisdiction ends.

    Customs is another story but that’s limited to whatever you’re carrying.

     

    LOL It takes weeks to process an I-131.  We’re pros at staying out.  My fault, not hers.

     

    In Short:  your plan will work for a couple years if they set up strong ties to the US.  After that they get maybe one more trip then they’ll get noticed and those ties will get audited.  Worst case:  New immigrant visa (SB1) or if they’re unlucky you’ll have to file a new petition.  

     

    In all of this they need to establish some ties.  Bank accounts.  Credit cards.  Drivers licenses.  Get a car for them and park it or at a minimum get them licensed and on your car insurance.  US cell phones.  US health insurance.  File and pay US taxes.  You know the drill.

     

    Entering and exiting on a travel document / visa only is a bad idea.  They need to be carrying their green cards.  

     

    They do this with no demonstrable ties they risk secondary and getting a hearing. No matter that they have a travel document.  Good luck.

    Thanks, this was very helpful. Yes, the idea is that they set up bank accounts and get their driver's licence and pay taxes, 100%. 

    They will be visiting periodically while they're re-entry permit is in force to start setting up their lives here, I don't expect them to be away the entire 2 years the document is valid.

    We can only answer questions based on the information given, the Brother situation was not mentioned so how can anybody take that factor into account?

     

    It is certainly not unusual for new residents to need to go back to settle affairs so a few months is unlikely to be questioned, you mentioned years.

     

    Not sure how 2 years is that relevant when the petitioning process would be much much longer.

     

    So it seems that the focus is not for your Parents to move over, the intent of this category, but for your Brother to.

     

    Obviously siblings take a long time and who knows how future immigration laws will change so based on current laws my first thought would be is this an issue for your Parents to move? If they have a life expectancy longer than the sibling petition then this seems overkill. If they are older/health issues that raises another can of worms.

     

     

    My brother shouldn't be a factor. I'm already honestly uncomfortable that I had to divulge this much personal information online, just so that I can get constructive feedback. 

    My initial question still is still tied to filing the I-131 in the two day time frame right after getting the I-551 stamp. All other details are a moot point, with details and problems I know I have to overcome when the time comes.

    How about your parents come, and they file for your brother and then they alternate going to be with him until he can come here permanently? have one go for a year, come back and the other goes too? Wouldn't that take care of the "ties to the US" part? My two cents

    Sincethe ultimate goal is for you to take over care for your brother when your parents are gone, why not just file for him and have them only come over once his papers are ready? They can stay with him the next 15 years or so without having to worry about re-entry permits. not so popular i know but given the circumstances it might be the most prudent path?

    Great advice on the interchanging year by year. Will definitely consider this as an option post I-131 – we did think of a version of this where one or both parents would visit, and vice versa.

    As for waiting for the brother to get his I-130 approved first – yeah, have thought of that too. That is truly our last option and is on the table. Worst case scenario, and after posting this, I think sending an I-130 for him makes sense as well.

     

    With the current political climate, it’s not a guarantee I will be able to sponsor my parents, let alone my sister in a couple years. Hope everyone understands the urgency on my end.

    Your parents .. and all the family ..have a tough situation and no “wins” really .. 😢. I can see why having the GC sooner rather than later would be good.. and I also see their heart to support all their family by already facing the possibility of one of the relinquishing their GC , and returning  to your brother .. in order to support him. Very very hard decisions. 

     

    Thank you for your sympathy! Yeah, it's been a load on my mind and will be for the next couple of years until everything gets sorted, but one thing at a time right? 

    The ultimate goal is that I have to take care of my brother after my parents pass, and that mean's he has to get his papers. That's why my parents are uprooting their lives too.
