Petition I-130 for Alien Relative

[may86 0]

Hello Everyone,

My brother wants to file a petition for my parents but we have some doubts about what we need. My parents are both from Mexico they have been working in the US for a long time now. In 1986 my brother and i were born in TEXAS. My Dad had a couple of tickets and people started to scare him about going to jail. So they left for Mexico 2 years later my sister was born. My Dad came back to the US a couple of years later to work. To make story short in 1995 we all came back to the US to be together as a family it was starting to be too much being separated from my Dad. We have been here since then. My younger sister was born in 1996 in NC. So now my brother wants to file a petition for both of my parents. We are just so lost and we don't want to mess anything up. We know he has to file form I-130, he need passport pictures of both, and birth certificates. Is there anything were missing? Does he need to send a picture of himself as well. Thank you in advance.

hi, how did they enter the oountry? if the entered ilegally, then he can't file for them. theoretically he could file for them, but the problem is that the would have their interview in Juarez and each one receive a 10 year ban. there are no waivers for parents.

if they entered legally with a tourist visa and the i94, then he has to file the whole adjustment of status packet.

Was he detained while trying to enter? Because if he was then i would suggest getting a lawyer. If he wasnt detained then im pretty sure he wont get the ban, they have no way of knowing he came in the country more than one time. Good luck!

He will get a ban anyway. He doesn't have a visa. He was never here legally. He will trigger a ban when he leaves. He cannot adjust without leaving. He will need an I-601 hardship waiver and this will have to be done in his country.

OP, check out the website provided to you and also look up Laurel Scott.

nobody said he entered more than once, but he will have his interview in his country, once he leaves he will have triggered the 10 year ban, there are no waivers for parents.

Oops, you're right! In the case of EWI there are no waivers for parents.

OP, I suggest you contact an immigration attorney.
