FILING I-130 FOR MOM

[siddharth18 0]

Can I file an I-130 for my mother if she is visiting me in the US?I am becoming a US Citizen on 16October 09 and I am planning to submit the I-130 on October 17th. She is on Visitor's Visa and leaving on November 19th, 09.

1.Will there be problems for her when she is leaving in November at immigration because we filed the I-130 when she is visiting here?

2. Will there be problems with application because Question 14 on I-130 asks "If the relative is in the US, did they come as visitor, stowee, etc'?

3. Will there be problems if she plans to visit us in the US when her application is being processed, i.e I-130, NVC etc.

Thank you so much for all your help!!

You can file the I-130 any time you wish to do so, as long as your mother does not violate her current visa restrictions. If she's supposed to go back home at such date, make sure she does so before her current visa expires.

Question 14 is only regarding a beneficiary who is currently residing in the US and wants to adjust status and that's not your case at all.

Also, your mother can come and go as many times as she's allowed. She still needs to be truthful about her I-130 petition but only if an Immigration officer asks her something of the sort, if not, she doesn't have to say a peep and come in as she's done in the past.

I filed for my parents while they were here in the US on vaccation. They went home 2 weeks after we filed the I-130's. As already said Q14 is only for those who will be filing for AOS along with the I-130 so that does not effect your parents. My Parents were not able to do another visit before they got their IR-5 visa's because their applications were approved so fast there was no time for them to come back over..
