Assuming that's not the reason why stepdad filed the divorce. Coz if he did bring that up then he would've been in hot water too.

Just leave things as they are. End of story.

He's got deployed (us army) to another country and cheated on my mother. He went back to US with this other girl and filled for cancellation because he did not want my mother had the right to army pension and that was the way

When did your mom get married ? 22 years ago ?. So your father and mother are divorced ? are you a child from your mothers first marriage ?.

Yes! She's got married 22 years ago.

Formerly in Brazil people are separated judicially and after a few years the divorce.

My mom got married to my ex stepfather between that time (separation and divorce)

I'm a child from the first marriage

Immigration Judge?

Not sure why you think Immigration would know?

Family judge! The judge had the chance to tell the immigration about the situation

Do you think that immigration will investigate my mom if she applies for me?

She is fine as long as they never find out about it.

You are right. They could when the judge gave the cancellation of her marriage but nothing happened

I assumed the issue had yet to come to their attention hence the Lawyers comments to let sleeping dogs lie.

Understood! My mother's situation is fine. Nothing is happening.

Is your mom undergoing a removal proceeding? Coz you said your stepdad filed for divorce 4 years ago. If nothing is filed against her then she won't lose her US citizenship.

No! She is fine...

We were wondering if they can revoke her citizenship if she tries to apply for me.

Sounds like the personal opinions were not the ones you wanted.

As I said before, Boiler, personal opinions are never too much but this is a very important matter to have just one professional opinion and give up. I am looking for personal and professional opinions and once again I thank everybody that is trying to help

Now you have other opinions. You can also hire another lawyer so he can tell you the same thing... why waste more money and jeopardize her status here ?

If you don't want to help, why are u trying to mess with my topic? Is the money yours? If she wants me to look for answers who are you to tell that I'm jeopardizing her status? I'm just asking what SHE wanted me to ask.

Now I have personal opinions, not professional opinions. I thank very much everybody that is helping me and trying to find solutions

I was decided to look for a second professional opinion even before creating the topic. I just wanted personal opinions because knowledge is never too much.

Wow! Lots of bad news haha.

Thanks everybody for the comments/suggestions

If they cancel her citizenship can she apply again through my sisters?

I'll look for more info about F1 visa and E2 visa (my fiance is spanish and we have the money to buy a business)

If a lawyer who studied immigration law didn't recommend that your mom sponsor you. Why would you jeopardize her status ?

We want a second opinion, and we dont trust this lawyer. She took a year to give us an answer and she seemed uninterested. We scheduled a call with her and she cancelled it three times. Then she called us and it was very quick and uninterested

I'm not trying to jeopardize her status. She wants me to move to US

Who is your father? The ex-husband she's legally separated to?

Yes!

Hello everybody! First of all, sorry for my English.

This is a long story and I'll try to tell very detailed, so you can help me better.

My mother and my ex stepfather (both brazilians) moved from Brazil to US as students 22 years ago. They got married a week later they arrived. Two years later my ex stepfather acquired the green card through a company opening and consequently my mother since they were married. After many years (about 10 years ago) she got the citizenship by time of residence. They have 2 children (19 and 15).

4 years ago he cancelled the marriage claiming that my mother was already married when they got married. That time they moved to US my mom was legally separated but not divorced because in Brazil it used to take long time between separation and divorce. He knew everything and his father was the lawyer responsible for the divorce from my mother, but even though he claimed he knew nothing about my mother's previously marriage (my mother has thousands of proofs).He was the responsible for filling out the geen card and the citizenship paperwork.

Now my mother wants to apply for my green card. We consulted a lawyer who (after a year) did not recommend my mother to apply for my green card, because she can have her citizenship revoked (denaturalization) for disclosuring false information and for obtained by fraud

Some matters to consider:

- My mother is a good citizen that works, pays taxes, has two American daughters

- She got married to my ex stepfather before he has the green card) so she did not married him by interest

- Her citizenship was through time of residence, not marriage

- I'm 26

Thank you for helping me and I'm sorry again for my poor english
