尊敬的8老师:
订完今年10月末来美的半年往返机票后，我才注意到父母的护照明年1月下旬到期(去年8月份就已办好了10年往返签证，前些年已来美多次)。
请问，1. 如果想给父母办绿卡的话，今年年底申请交表可以吗？ -Yes.
2. 如可以的话，还需要更新护照吗？-Their passport has to have the valid period of 6 months at least 8 months before entering US. So, they need to get the new passport in China before they come to US.
3. 如需更新护照的话,旧护照是否不应被剪角？-Yes. That means the old passport is void.
我都应该注意哪些事项呢？-They need to bring the new passport and the old passport together to come to US evey time until the B-2 visa expires. Show both new and old passports to the Chinese Customs Officer when leaving China and the IO at the port of entry when entering US.
4. 我8月上旬回去办来得及吗？ 如来美之后交申请表之前更新护照可以吗(在国内办事心里没底)？
5. 父母已年过80了, 还需要体检什么的吗？-Yes for green card application (need to do it in US).
都是些什么项目呢？
我在国内都需要带什么手续过来呢？-Their Birth Certificates, the marriage certificate of your parents, and your birth certificate.
多谢老师指点！
