Young immigrants who obtained green cards during childhood or adolescence must wait until they turn 21 before they can sponsor their parents for permanent residence in the United States.
The US government has clarified that lawful permanent residents, commonly known as green card holders, must meet a minimum age requirement before filing a petition for a parent to immigrate permanently.
The rule applies even when the sponsor has held permanent resident status for several years.
Under US immigration law, a person seeking to bring a parent to live permanently in the country must qualify as a sponsor.

A green card holder must be at least 21 years old to petition for a parent. The same age threshold applies to US citizens seeking to sponsor their parents.
This means neither citizenship nor permanent resident status allows someone below the age of 21 to begin the parent sponsorship process.
The rule creates a waiting period for immigrants who obtained permanent residence while they were still children or teenagers.
