Parent Visa
Parent Visas in Los Angeles
If you are a United States citizen, you can petition your parents to come to the U.S. on a parent visa. The parental immigration process is complex, because "parent" is not defined under U.S. immigration law, so establishing the relationship depends on meeting the existing definition of "child". For fathers of children born out of wedlock, it is also necessary to show that there was an ongoing parent/child relationship before the child reached 21. Parents may also be able to seek a parent visa through their stepchild.
