A green Card request

[Mz.al]

What is the name of your state?Kentucky

Dear Sir/mam
I became a citizen on May of 2018, this year.
I would like to get a green card for my mother who is 72 years old and live in Iraq.
I have 4questions
1-Which form can i use for the USCIS
2- I am a low income in the state of KY, i am working nice i came here in 2012, pay taxes every year, Does my low income status affect my request for a green card for my mother.
3- Does the application at the USCIS require that my mother needs to make an appointment for an interview in American Ambassy in Iraq?
4- who long before getting a Green card for her, an estimate time frame
Thanks

Are you a US citizen? If you are not, you will not be able to use your status to bring in a parent. If you are a US Citizen then the rest of the post applies.

1. You use I-130
2. Yes, it will count against you. You must submit an affidavit of support and show you can keep her off public assistance. You'll have to show your income (depending on your household size) is $20,575 or more. If you have others that are willing, you can jointly enter into the support sponsorship.
3. Parents of US citizens don't go through the preference category thing, so they get normal bureaucratic processing times of five to nine m onths.

It would be worth contacting an immigration attorney.
A draft proposal was introduced last September by Homeland Security that would make it extremely difficult for many immigrants to come to the US or receive green cards if they’re deemed likely to use public benefits like food stamps or Medicaid.
Your mother may well fall into this category.

I could swear it just said he came to the US in 2012 when I read it originally. Anyhow my advice stands.
Note that notwithstanding the rule change, when coming in based on family preference required an affidavit of support already.

There are other forums more appropriate for your questions. Look for visajourney.

Be aware that your mother would not qualify for government funded health care upon her arrival. You need to consider the cost of health insurance, drugs, and health professional visits as well as normal living expenses in your planning.

How do my new glasses look?

ETA: I had to take them off when I laughed embarrassedly.
