Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

HI, My parents recently became US citizen. I am 30 years old son. I am legally in US since 2006. Is there anyway I can get work permit(EAD) through my parents? I haven't file I-130 yet, thinking that it takes many years. My parents don't have enough income , so can file saying that they needed my financial support or any other way.

thanks,

Jay

You need to file the I-130 in order to get a work permit unless you have a company that is willing to sponsor you. Your parents can always gets joint sponsors to assist with sponsoring you. For a free consultation, please contact my office at 904-371-3538 or email me at [email protected].

One of your parents will have to file an I-130 petition in order for you to obtain a work permit in the US. It will take a few years to obtain an actual work permit. You will need to wait until your priority date becomes current to submit your application for adjustment of status including the application for employment authorization. They are currently processing cases in your category (child (21+ years) of a US Citizen) filed on or before 05/01/2004. You can use a co-sponsor to support your case if your parents do not have enough income.
