LPR Sponsor unmarried son

[Riverbed9051 4]

Hello,

 

My grandmother whose only income is retirement from SS would like to sponsor her son for a green card. She has been an LPR since 2005 my uncle had a 10 year ban when he left the USA in 1997 for overstaying a B2 visa for 2 years.

 

My mother is a USC and my grandfather is also an LPR. I know my mother could sponsor him,but then he is F4 instead of F2B.

 

What kind of documentation will they need to file for his green card.

 

We have my uncles passport used to enter the USA, we have his I9 form, we have proof of departure such as entering the EU in August of 1997. No issue with law enforcement here or world wide.

 

Please I have no idea why they did not do this 19 years ago.

 

Thanks!

They start by filing I-130 for him. As it's going to be many years (15-20 ish as a very rough guess??) until he gets a visa, it may be worth your mother petitioning for him as well as back up, just in case.

The documents needed will be your uncle’s BC for your grandmother’s petition showing her as the mother, and your uncle’s BC and your mother’s BC for your mother’s petition showing they are siblings.

 

I agree with @appleblossom, it never hurts to have both your mother and your grandmother file separate petitions.

 

Good Luck!

you mentioned having the mother also create her own petition, but could they both be on one?

No. Each files a standalone I-130 so in case grandmother dies, there's the other I-130 to fall back on.

There are lots of qualifications best to file one each

That link's referring to a sponsor, not a petitioner. Each person would have to submit their own I-130.
