Change of Status for Visiting Parents

[atifsharif]

Hi,

I got citizenship in Oct 2020 and my parents reached US in Nov 2020. When can I file their change of status from visiting to permanent resident (Green Card)?

Can I apply immediately or need to wait for sometime?

Please help in this regard.

Thank you!

You can apply for them whenever as you're a USC now and a visa becomes available for them on the spot. Are they lawfully present or are they over stays? Regardless, these are the forms you'd need for them.
Per individual;

I-130; $535
I-130A; $0
I-131; $0 (should you want advance parole)
I-485; $1225, includes biometric fee.
I-693; $300 (you can shop for cheaper doctors but it averages $300)
I-765; $0
I-864; $0
I-944; $0


My timeline so far:

-01/27/20: Same sex couple, married to USC.
-06/29/20: Package I-130, I-130A, I-131, I-485, I-693, I-765, I-864, I-864 joint sponsor and I-944 sent via certified mail USPS.
