Re: Children and Immigration

If they are her legal dependents, then they are included with her; provided that their visas are paid for.

Yes, she can bring her husband and children. But her parents, NO. She has to petition them which will take years to wait.

Thanks rep!
What about a single filipina nurse? Can her parents be included in the dependents list? Then when she is an immigrant and decides to marry, her husband also gets a green card?

very hard with greencard, don't think parents can be included. Do know if marry after greencard can take years for spouse to be allowed to stay and get greencard, better to marry before interview. Otherwise need to wait until get citizenship then can file for parents. That is how I have read it on many expat websites

The nurse have to petition the parents. And if the nurse is already here and marry a person from the Philippines who is not an immgrant, the nurse has to petition that person she married.
