Visa Options For Parents
Summary
Parents of U.S. Citizen children have several options to stay in the U.S. Temporarily. A B-2 visa allows short-term visits, while humanitarian parole offers temporary stay for urgent reasons. A student visa (F-1) is possible if you enroll in a U.S. Educational institution. Form I-539 can change nonimmigrant status but doesnt lead to a green card. Humanitarian parole requires Form I-131 and supporting documents. Fee waivers are available for those who qualify. A B-1/B-2 visa allows short visits, but re-entry isnt guaranteed. Ensure visa validity and proper documentation for successful re-entry.Full Conversation
