👨👧 ¿Si tu Hija(o) es Residente, Puede Pedirte? 🇺🇸 #abogada #shorts
In this Spanish-language YouTube short, an immigration attorney from Rivas y Asociados explains that a child who is a lawful permanent resident (LPR) cannot petition for their parents; only U.S. citizens have that authority. The speaker outlines which family members LPRs can sponsor (spouse, unmarried children) versus the broader categories available to citizens (married children, parents, siblings). She details the eligibility timelines for naturalization—five years of residence, or three years if married to a U.S. citizen—and emphasizes the additional benefits of citizenship, such as voting rights and greater protection from deportation. The video concludes with a call to apply for citizenship to expand family sponsorship options and protect the family’s legal status.
