21 years old daughter filling a petition for a father who is living in USA

[jcaycho 1]

My daughter who is 21 years old and US citizen (she get the citizenship from her mother who married an american citizen) is petitioning me,

I came with tourist visa and stay,

I've been working here during that time and present my taxes with my Etin number,

I do not have any criminal record (besides the parking tickets)

I'm divorced from her mother 10 years ago and I'm single since then,

My daughter lives in Florida and I live in California

My daughter already filled out the I-130 which address will be the best?

Should I request the adjust of my immigration status with the I-130?

Thank you

Why you did not submit the I-485 along with the I-130? You can receive your Green card trough adjustment of status.

If she just filed the I-130 you must attend the interview abroad,but because your visa expired then you will have a bar for 3/10 years to return to the U.S. .There is no waiver available to parents of a U.S Citizen.

I-130 and I-485 should be filed together (along with all required supporting forms and documents). They need to be mailed to the Chicago Lockbox (see I-485 filing addresses).

In what capacity and with which visa have you been working in the US?

He's been working illegally as a tourist, but he should still be able to adjust status as an immediate relative of a US citizen.

Well to start thank you for your info,

when should send my fingers print from the biometric services? Where to take the fingerprint test?

What about the affidavit? my daughter is in college

Is another documents or copies to present with the I-485?

Thank you

hi

she should have sent the whole adjustment of status packet, the i130 alone does nothing, so have her send the whole packet along with a copy of the i130,

she should keep copies of everything she sends.

once the i765 is approved, they will send you a date to have your fingerprints takes, there are 2 sets of fingerprints, one for the i485 for the FBI and one for the EAD work permit/Advance parole

since she doesn't work, she will need a joint sponsor, your daughter has to fill out the i864 affidavit of support regardless of no income and attach a letter stating why she isn't required to file taxes. her joint sponsor will be the one covering you

you should have waited until she had everything ready to send all together, now there will be delays

So you just want to play the system. you are working illegally, she lives in Florida and you live in CA, why would it be the point to provide you with a GC if you 2 are not even living in the same coast?

At least he's paying his taxes, unlike a lot of legal residents who aren't. He is not in a relationship with his petitioner, so he's not required to live with or near her plus she's in college so it shouldn't matter.

OP might want to keep all those tax records for his interview as it will be brought up and will look good on his part for paying taxes illegal or not.

[jcaycho 1]

Well It is very easy to judge when you don't have the hold pieces of the puzzle, for your info she is in College and I'm proud of being his father providing her with what she needs.

Why is it relevant where a parent lives compared to a child? It is normal that parents and children do not live together.

And I don't see any "playing" of any "system". What they are applying for is completely straightforward and legitimate.

You may want to understand the system before accusing someone of playing it.

This man's daughter has every right to sponsor him for immigration if she wishes. He does not need to live with her.
