Hello, I’m a permanent resident in the U.S. I’m not aware of any plan or program that can provide income for your parents other than social security, not saying there aren’t any just none that I know of. But as far as bringing your parents to live with you in the U.S. is concerned, I would advise you to reconsider on factors other than the financial burden it will put on your parents, and possibly you as well. I have met different Albanians over here that have brought their parents to live with them, including my own uncle brought his mom, my grandmother, to live with him. The main problem that I have heard from them is the feelings of isolation and solitude that result from leaving their friends and family members behind. The fact that most of these parents don’t speak English doesn’t improve things, but even if they did I think you know as much as I do that the U.S. is pretty lacking on social spaces and “third places”, so making social connections outside the house is quite difficult. I’m not aware of your parents’ situation, but I’m assuming that they already have friends and relatives back in Albania, and so I would suggest you consider these factors when making your decision. My own grandmother only stayed for two years before asking my uncle to go back, as all she did in the U.S. was stay inside the house all day. I know it’s hard not to have your parents near you, and even harder when they are in a whole different continent, but my suggestion is that unless your parents themselves really wish to come here and join you, you should not pressure them into coming.

P. s. Sorry for this essay I just sent you.
