We are aware. Our statements still stand 

What about permanent resident then? Still apply?

Not really.  Overstays of over 1 year get a 10-year ban.  No ban for overstay less than 180 days.  But regardless of the overstay period and whether the ban has been served, the overstay will be in the person's US immigration record forever and will definitely influence the consulate's decision towards denying new tourist visa applications.

 

crud.  she's 84 years old....

If you mean a B2 tourist visa, DS-160 is the application form to fill out.  With her history of overstay + ban, her chances of being approved are very low.  Costs only $160 to find out for sure.

 

overstay gets an automatic ban the vast majority of the time and she "served" her time.  Not a permanent ban just a 10 year ban.

~~ Topic moved from Bringing Family members to the US forum to Tourist Visa forum as the question is about visiting not immigrating ~~
 

What visa is this?

not sure which one but was a Petition for Mother and Father Permanent Resident (Father was allowed but Mother Denied)

Good Morning Everyone,

My Mother-In-Law had been traveling back and forth between here and the Philippines for several years and overstayed her last trip here (approximately 1-2 years but am not sure -USG doesn't care if a day or 20yrs).  She got banned 10 years which she accepted.  That was almost 20 years ago.  My Sister-In-Law tried unfortunately applying before her time was up on the ban thinking that she should apply and her Visa would be accepted by the time her ban would be expiring; she got denied before her time was up.  She is now 84 and would like to visit us (doesn't want to live here) and travel back and forth.  What do you think her chances are of getting a Visa and which Forms do we fill out?  What are the wait times as she is 84 but in pretty good health? 

Thanks!

Most unlikely that your Brothers Health Insurance would cover a US Resident. So check that first.

yes one of the many things i need to ask him.

Hi,

 

Your mother's ban will not be used against her.

Being a potential public charge can be used against her.  If she used certain public benefits in the US, then that can be used against her.  If she is elderly, poor, unable to work, and can not afford healthcare in her old age, then those factors can be used against her.  

 

You start the process by filing the I-130.  Follow the Guides on VJ.

Best of luck.

She is 81 and did not use anything benefits here.  She has health insurance from my brother in the Philippines and would essentially just be a tourist as she doesn't want to live here.. just visit.  I thought maybe a tourist visa but I'm sure that would work.

Would it work?

Alternate sounds tricky, but yes you can sponsor her to immigrate, the bar for the overstay has long gone.

 

Did she accumulate enough quarters for Medicare?

Not that I'm aware of.  I'll ask but i know she wasn't here 10 yrs so SS is not available for her.

My father did not work here.  He was in his upper 60's and health staeted to fail while here and couldn't work for long.  He was a VERY active person prior to this.

SO the current admin will not hold it against her then?  I heard that they are looking for anything to not allow you in?  What form do i file?

Thank you to all here!

My father passed a couple of months ago (he lived with us for a couple of years back (with Permanent VISA) about 7 yrs ago before he got sick and went back home) and I want to bring my mom here to alternate between here and the Philippines where we are from.  Here is where I need help.  She worked in the US and over stayed by 1 yr and was banned for 10 yrs.  She left the US in 2005.  How and what do i need to file to bring her here?  Am i going to have problems with filing since she over stayed although that was over 15 years ago?

TIA!
