Green card holders bringing a parent to USA

Post by mikem »

Is there any way for green card holders to bring an elderly parent to the US as a dependent? My mother in law is soon to be a widow and she’s not really capable of living on her own. We just recently became US permanent residents, so US citizenship is still a few years away. Is there any way we can make this happen?

Not quickly and permanently unfortunately. The best you can do is have her visit you 6 months at ta time. This does have the advantage of keeping her Cdn heath coverage active, and allows her to buy Cdn-baed travel medical insurance based on keeping that coverage.
