Can a Green Card Holder Sponsor a Parent?

Answer

Yes, a Green Card holder can sponsor a parent. However, they must first become a U.S. citizen. After acquiring citizenship, they can file a Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, to begin the immigration process for their parent. This process is not immediate and the waiting time can vary greatly depending on specifics of the case.
