SO I have been a green card holder for 3 yrs, married with my US citizen man for 4 yrs and is now ready to file for n400.

My big question is, can I petition a relative (my mom, using I-130) who is ALREADY here in the US, same time I file for n400? She got to the US years ago thru work visa but she overstayed. Will I have problems with this? I am her only hope.

Anyone who had the same situation? Did you get approved? Will that 'endanger' my US citizenship filing?

Aug 25 06 - NOA for AOS & EAD

Aug 30 06 - Received mail for Biometrics Appointment

Sept 6 06 - AOS Transferred to CSC

as stated you have to be a USC first. The minute you get yu certificate you can apply for the I-130 not a minute before

Stated here in your previous post previos post

Once you are a citizen your mom will be an immediate relative and overstay should be forgiven. As long as your mom entered the coutry legally.

Edited by NArocks

Why is it that the only one who can stop the crying is the one who started it in the first place?

I'm in a similar situation and I'm wandering if it is really true that "the overstay would be forgiven" for a parent when a child applys for her/his GC?

My mom is currently in US on tourist visa. Her I-94 expires in Feb 2010. I'm currently applying for US citizenship and I think it should take 6-12 month for me to get it. Should my mom go back to her country in Feb 2010 and wait until I get the citizenship? Or it is ok for her to overstay here in US?

She entered US legally and never violated any thing, but she already stayed for long periods of time (always legaly), so I'm not sure if they will let her back in until she gets her GC(which can take another 1-2 years).

I would really prefer her to stay in US, if her overstay will not hurt her to get GC once I can apply for it.

Would love to heard people with similar experience.

thank you,

Maarina

If she is caught she will be deported.
