Robert Lee, TX Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Are you planning to remain permanently in the United States? If so you might be able to apply for adjustment of status for your wife. I would suggest consulting with a competent attorney about your situation.

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. Since we do not have all the facts, it is impossible to give a completely accurate answers. Are you a U.S. citizen or a Green Card holder? I suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. (S)he would then be in a better position to analyze your case, advise you of your options and, if possible, make sure that the necessary paperwork and documentation is presented so as not to delay the process.

An adult U.S. Citizen may sponsor parents to become Lawful Permanent Residents (to get "Green Cards"), even if the adult child is not employed. It will be necessary, however, to supply an Affidavit of Support for each parent, and with insufficient income to meet the requirements, it also will be necessary to supply an Affidavit of Support from a "joint sponsor." The joint sponsor need not be a spouse or other relative, and instead generally may be any U.S. citizen or Permanent Resident with sufficient documentable income and who is willing to assume the responsibilities specified in the Affidavit of Support.
