    Hi everyone,

    I am brand spanking new here! I am thinking of sponsoring my parent's GCs. I am a citizen, they are currently visiting on tourist visa and will be here till february. Is it going to be a problem if I apply for their GC while they are in the US visiting? And, do I need separate I-130 forms for both or one for my parents together? What is the general wait time to get a decision from personal experiences here?

    thanks a lot for your help!

    1. no issue if you submit a petition for them when they are in the USA. Though i am unsure of them overstaying (i read in many threads Immediate Relative visas are okay for overstayers).

    2. you have to file separately, for each of your parents.

    Wait time for IR visa - 12-14 months from petitioning to Visa in hand.

        I think if they try to adjust too soon, there is a presumption that they lied on their visa application because they came with intent to stay. You should look into that, maybe do research or talk to a lawyer? I don't know about the rest.
