Visa Adjustment for Parents on Tourist Visa

[daphne0604 0]

Hi guys,

My mom and dad were here on tourist Visa I am a US citizen. My mom and dad does not want me to petition them while they are on the Philippines since they dont really wanna stay here in US and they said they are too old and phil is their home(74 and 76). But I was able to convince them to visit me and my kids since its I havent seen them in 5 yrs and they havent seen my youngerst baby. Now that they are here they are enjoying their grandkids and same thing with my boys. I was able to convince them to stay with me (although my dad still alittle hesitant ) I was reading the forum and blog and learned about the adjustment of status I am trying to submit it on their 5th month of stay but I have problems. My mothers maiden name is different from my birthcertificate and hers by 1 letter will it matter since its only her moms middle name also my mom and dad were married twice civil and church. My birthcertificate shows their church wedding although I know we normally use the ceivil wedding but I got both paper works although the church is not NSO copy. But my mom has an atty.certification would that work? thanks everyone God bless

One major thing to also think about is the medical cost as well since your parents are in their 70s. During the AOS, the IO will more than likely want proof of medical coverage since they would not qualify for medicare and may become a public charge.

They have insurance back home but I dont think I can get them any medican insurance over here since they dont have ssn yet right? thanks

You don't need a SSN to buy private medical insurance, but it will be expensive for your parents. You can search for rates online, or maybe someone in your scenario can provide a link of the medical plan they bought for their parents.

Hi ! ,

My case is also some what similar to your case . I too want to file I-130 and I-485 (AOS) concurrently for my parents, when they are in US , on visitor visa . I hope you must have done some homework and therefore have more information . You may wish to clarify .

1.0 If their petitions are not approved during 6 months of permitted stay as per I-94, then can they extend their stay in US ? How long ? Will they not be treated as illegal immigrants ?

2.0 Some opinions indicated that “ USCIS may deny the petitions coz if a visitor takes steps to become a lawful permanent resident after reaching USA, USCIS may perceive that to be contrary to the intent represented while obtaining the visitor visa earlier , and determine that the visitor has violated the terms of his or her stay , granted under visitor visa. “

Thanks
