In this short, attorney Lorena Rivas answers a viewer’s question about how long it takes to obtain U.S. permanent residence when the applicant is applying through a child who is serving in the U.S. military. She explains that the process consists of two main stages: first, obtaining a military parole, which requires filing an application with the local USCIS office and can take anywhere from six months to a year depending on the office’s workload; second, after parole approval, filing the adjustment‑of‑status (residency) application based on the child who is at least 21 years old, which typically adds another 12 to 18 months. The overall timeline is therefore roughly 1.5 to 2.5 years, with variability at each step.
