I am a US citizen and my 88 year old grandmother is a German citizen and is in failing health. She has no one to care for her and her only relative is my father who lives in the US as a resident alien. Is there a way that we can bring her to the US to live out her final days? She said she does not want to die alone. Thank you.

You can try sponsoring her for her Green Card via consular processing,, but the process from start to finish takes time. so depending on how much time you think she has(since you mentioned last days) it may not be feasible. you can also try having her at least come visit for a bit.Originally posted by Dreamskape View PostThis is strictly an opinion and should not be misconstrued as legal advice.

The OP can't petition a grandmother. If the grandmother has a child who is a US citizen, they can petitioner her to immigrate to the US. Or, the OP's father can naturalize and then petition the grandmother.Originally posted by krypton9591 View Post

Sorry meant to type Y'all(texas speak can be really confusing sometimes) also didn't realize a USC who wasn't the direct off spring of the petionee couldn't sponsor said immigrant. I thought if it was a family member they could sponsor them.Originally posted by newacct View PostThis is strictly an opinion and should not be misconstrued as legal advice.

I mean i dont know how long she has to live but she could always come on a visitor visa for 3 months with ESTA waiver.
If you require healthcare for her here, i would look into if insurance covers those things.This is my opinion, not legal advice!

I hope you found the solution, and it would be great if you shared your experience here. I have a similar problem right now. My grandmother is 80 and she lives in England. Her health is bad. All I can do is to send money , but I want her to move to the USA to live with me, so I can take care of her. Anyway, thanks for sharing the info, I'll check the suggested sources out.Last edited by BNic; 02-20-2022, 07:59 AM.Comment

** for you. Yeah, you are right. It's time to take care of your grandmother. Because she is older right now. And of course, she needs proper care.Originally posted by BNic View PostLast edited by DustinFerreira; 11-23-2023, 08:46 AM.Comment

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother's situation. As a U.S. citizen, you may be able to bring your grandmother to the U.S. through family-based immigration options, though the process can be complex, especially considering her age and health condition. It's advisable to consult with an immigration attorney who can guide you through the specific requirements and expedite the process, ensuring your grandmother is not left alone in her final days.Comment

I think you should try to get a visa for your grandmother in the US or look into some special relocation programs. It might make sense to consult a lawyer about such issues. Also, when you are able to move your grandmother, take care of how she will get to you from the airport, So that she doesn't have to wait long and is picked up right away. Good health to your grandmother!
