my sister's I-130 has been approved and the parent who petitioned for her recently became a citizen so now she can apply for the AOS. My question is will she called in for an interview? I mean do they usually require an interview in this case or not? THanks.

Hi,

For AOS based on parent becoming a citizen, are they always going to send a notice for an interview. The lawyer told us most likely there will NOT be an interview. Is that accurate? Our lawyer is from another state and I don't know what would happen if they do require an interview. Any help?

Regards

I think there is just a double standard. Working illegally should prohibit everyone and anyone from getting the green card, or it should be forgiven for anyone who is applying through parents, spouse, work, etc. I know this is the law, but I don't get it.

one more question. if a child is under 21 while the I-130 was filed by the parent who had a green card at the time and now after 8 years she is of course over 21, would the petitioner now be considered as an under 21 child of a citizen, now that the parent has become a citizen or would she be considered an over 21 child of a citizen?

Thanks for all your help.

thanks for all the input.

unfortunately she was just over 21 when she started working. She does not owe IRS anything because the max was taken out and had she filed, she would have gotten some tax return. but question is if you simply don't put that on the application, will they ever find out? does INS check with IRS to make sure she didn't work outside of her OPT time? from what I understand from all the immigration procedures you get in trouble if you tell the truth

thanks

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to ask a question for a relative of mine. She is filing an I-485 to become a permanent resident through her mother. She has been in the US for the past 7 years as an F1 student. One question that I wanted to ask is that if she did work illegaly, (although part time) for just over 6 months before she got her OPT, is she going to have problems because form G-325A is asking for prior employment history. The illegal work falls within the last 5 years.

so my questions are as follows:

1. What is the process with which INS checks employment history? Do they check with IRS to access her employment record? If she simply does not include that period in the form, what will happen and how will they find out?

2. As a daughter of a citizen is she going to get pardoned for such a mistake? I heard in some cases like over staying visas, etc. the children of citizens will be forgiven. Would this be one of them?

3. And last but not least, would a lawyer really make a difference and can help her with this? If so, does anyone know a very good lawyer in the dallas/fort worth area?

I would greatly appreciate your help. We really are worried about all this.

Thanks again.
