  • Visa for my father in India

    Hi:
    I have a question, please help!

    My father got deported about 8 yrs back while he was on visitor visa. However, i am a citizen now and planning to file a waiver for him. Once waiver is cleared, what is the fastest and best way for him to come to uSA? Is it visitor visa or should i file green card - I-130 AND 485 for him. How much time would it normmaly take for parents in India to get the greencard after applying?
    Also, if i am apply for visitor visa, should he show a bank balance? If so how much approximately and for how many years should he maintain and show the balance in his India account? Please advise. What are the chances of approval of visitor visa?

    Thanks for your advise and answers.

    Even if you get the waiver of inadmissibility( Am I right?) , visitor visa will still be denied
    on 'potential immigrant' grounds.The reason ; Parents of USCs find it difficult to get visitor visas.


    Just go for his immigrant visa. It takes about 10-12 mos in all ,for the I-130 petition processing in US
    + consular processing in India.
    You won't need to file I-485 . That is for adjusting status inside US.

    By the way, what was the reason for his deportation?
