i would like to apply for my parentsto get immigrant visa. im a us citizen, how long it wil take?
If you are outside the US you file a petition with the US Embassy for the country where you currently live. The US State Department has some information on non-immigrant US visas. USCIS is the agency that handles the actual visa processing. The US Embassy in your country will have the most detailed descriptions of the non-immigrant visas and how to obtain them on the Embassy website.
An immigrant in the US can petition for his or her spouse who lives in a foreign country as long as he/ or she living in the US has already recieved their citizenship.
The K-3/K-4 visas are reserved for the spouse and children of US. citizens, while the V-1/V-2 visas are reserved for the spouse and children of Lawful Permanent Residents. The US. sponsor must have already filed a Form I-130, Immigrant Petition on behalf of his or her relative. The K-3/K-4 or V-1/V-2 visa holders may enter the US. while the I-130 Immigrant Petition is pending and apply for a Green Card from inside the US. after the petition is approved.
Yes provided that relative is a permanent resident or green card holder or a US citizen. Once they petition for relative depending on the eligibility and availability of visa the relative would be issued a immigrant visa to enter US after which will be issued green card.
No
Yes, unless you are already a US citizen you will need an immigrant visa that permits you to work, not a tourist visa.
I should first mention that for detailed and up-to-date information about this visa; you can visit the Visa Library website. As I understand, the K3 visa allows the spouse from a foreign country to move to the US and live there while waiting for the immigrant visa petition to be approved. This applies to married couples when one spouse is a US citizen, and the other is from another country.I hope your visa application process goes well.If my post helped you, please like it.
The amount of time it will take for a immigrant visa for a 21 year old son will vary. Each case must the heard individually by the INS. It could take 6 months up to a few years.

Immigrant visa petitions are processed at the National Visa Center by invoicing one for the visa application fees. One then waits until they are called for an interview with a consular officer at a US embassy.
Only US citizens can file an I-130 petition for maried adult children. You would apply by filing an I-130 petition. The form can be found in pdf format at the USCIS website- just follow the accompaning instructions.
Applying from the United States: The US relative will file an I-130 Petition for their alien relative who is in the United States. Best practice is to complete the rest of the Green Card Application at the same time when the relative has immediate priority, and the following forms are required; I-485, I-864, I-693, G-325A (for the US relative and for each intending immigrant), and a corresponding G-28 form when you use an Attorney to help you complete your forms. Additional forms may be filed currently to save US fees.Applying from outside the United States: The US relative will file an I-130 Petition for their alien relative who is not in the United States.When the I-130 is approved by the department of state the intending immigrant has one year to apply for an Immigrant Visa.
