  • Family based greencard to father and my step mother

    Hi,
    I'm a US citizen and my father and step mother are here in USA on Tourist visa.
    I would like to start green card process from them. My father got married to my step mother 2 year back ( I was 26 old at that time),
    I know i cannot initiate family based green card for my step mother.
    What are my options here? I need to start GreenCard to my father and he in turn can sponsor my step mother immediately with same application?
    or does he need to wait until he get green card before he can sponsor my stepmother?

    Parents of US citizens are in the Immediate Relative category, which cannot have derivative beneficiaries. So your step-mother cannot immigrate as your father's derivative beneficiary, so he needs to petition her as the spouse of a permanent resident, and he needs to wait until he gets his green card before he can petition her.

    This is my personal opinion and is not to be construed as legal advice.
