Sponsor your parents and grandparents: Submit the interest to sponsor form

The 2020 interest to sponsor form is now closed

The first step to sponsor your parents or grandparents is filling out the interest to sponsor form. The form was available:

• from noon EDT on October 13, 2020
• to noon EST on November 3, 2020

The form is now closed and will stay closed.

The steps to apply to sponsor your parents and grandparents are a bit different for the 2021 process. We’ll invite enough people from the remaining 2020 pool of potential sponsors with the goal of accepting 30,000 new applications. We won’t open a new interest to sponsor form in 2021.

If you were able to submit your interest to sponsor form in 2020

If you were able to submit the interest to sponsor form in 2020, you saw a page with a confirmation number. We asked you to write down this number so you can use it later.

We also sent you an email with the confirmation number to let you know we got your form. Once we send out invitations, you can use it to check if you’ve been invited to apply to the 2021 program.

Invitations to apply

We send invitations by email. If you’re invited to apply, make sure you don’t miss the invitation:

• Check the same email account you used on your 2020 interest to sponsor form.
• Check your junk mail or spam folder to see if an email from us is there.
