Thanks for reply so in short as his step mother passed away some time ago,so now his father need to re-marry his first wife again,is that what you mean?SO that will help him in immigration process?

No, if the biological mother was the first wife, he can petition for her without re-marrying her, as soon as he becomes a legal permanent resident.

Hi every one,My friend really need help.(I am writing here what ever he told me)His father has two wives(which is legal in his country),His step mom did not have any children for some medical reason but she used to love kids so she adopted him,they all used to live together in same house,so on his birth certificate and on other legal documents he wrote his step mothers name as mother,his real mom and other family members never had no problem with that.He came in USA 3 years ago and his step mother passed away few months ago due to cancer.Now he is planning to apply for his parents,as his step mother is no more so he wants to add his biological mother on immigration file,is is possible for him to do it or he can not do?

Is there any way he can add his biological mother on immigration file.He is worried any help appreciated.

Thank you

Go to your birth country and fix the birth certificate and any other document you have that list step mom as biological mother and then file. It's possible if your country will let you do those changes. Good luck

Fixing the BC would open up a cans of worm. He used a document with information he knew to be false to immigrate to the US. This is a fact he does not necessarily want to disclose. LPR dad petitioning for his wife sidestep the problem of him using a BC with information he knew to be false.

The key question remains unanswered by the OP. Did the step-mother adopt him legally? If so, he can never petition for his biological mother at all. If not, as aaron 2020 points out, he knowingly used fraudulent documents in his own immigration...which will cause serious problems, possibly for him, but also for his father, who at a minimum contributed to the false documents.

Yes he was legally adopted by her step mother.

Yes he was legally adopted by his step mother.

Yes he was legally adopted by her step mother.

Then there is no choice about his mother. The only option is to petition for his father and his father then petition for his wife.
