Why is the interview waived when a citizen sponsors their parent for a green card?
I’m a U.S. citizen.
I’d like to sponsor my parent for a green card, and I’ve heard the interview gets waived.
I’d like to know why the interview is waived when a citizen sponsors a parent, and whether that’s actually true.
Because the parent-child relationship in parent-sponsorship cases is documented through official records like a family census register or family relation certificate, and the likelihood of fraud with these documents is low, the interview process is considered unnecessary.
