  • Greencard thru parents???

    I have a few questions based on the family based GC.

    My parents both received their green card last year through my older sister who is a US Citizen. I have been in the country from 1998 but mostly on student visa for my education until last year. Last year I got my H1B approved which is technically valid till the end of 2013 after a year on my OPT.. My parents want to apply for my GC through them under the un-married son over 21 yrs clause. My questions are...

    1) Is it possible for them to apply for my GC and if it is..what forms would I need to fill out?
    2) How long would the process take?
    3) Would my alien number be the same number with which my OPT and H1 got applied?

    Thanks for your help.

    They can apply for you by filing an I-130. How long, please read the visa bulletin and you will have an idea. Your alien number stays the same no matter what.
