Information pointers on sponsoring parents of an employment-based green card holder m

[immihelp]

First, I would like to start by thanking you for the wonderful resources that you make available in your web site. Immigration can be a daunting thing with so many forms, priority dates, etc...

I have attempted to find the information I seek on your website, but I wasn't able to locate it and so would like to request your assistance.

I have an employment-based green card since 2007. I have older parents (79yo) who live in Portugal (which I am a citizen of) that I care for (some financial help and other assistance). They have been mostly in good health, thank God, but due to their age I would like to have them closer by so I can better care for them.

After reviewing much of the online information, I realize that I do not qualify to sponsor them as a greencard holder, however, I am engaged to be married on April 23, 2011 to a US citizen. I have been told by some coworkers that once married I would be able to sponsor my parents through my wife-to-be as long as I can show financial support (which I can). Unfortunately, I am unable to find any information regarding this online as I would like to be certain that his is indeed possible.

Could you please help? Thank you!

Regards

That's not true.

You will have to wait until you become U.S. citizen to sponsor your parents' greencard. At that time, if you don't make enough money to sponsor them, your wife can be a joint sponsor, but that is only for the money part.
