Hello everyone my friend is looking for advice and lawyers want to charge her 10k+ to file what I think should be an easy thing to do, but am looking for advice here!
My friend is 19 years old turns 20 September 18.
Her mom has been married to a USC for two years. They married before she was 18.
They both entered the country on a b2 and overstayed.
What would be the process for her to get LPR can she file with her mothers petition since she’s under 21? Does she have to wait until her mom is approved and then file? They’re from Brasil.
So they would have to file two petitions both containing the following:
Documents Relating to I-130, Petition for Alien Relative
Form G-1145 to request notification
I-130 Petition for Alien Relative
Form I-130A
