Entering US with visitor visa and adjust the status is illegal and considered visa fraud.

If you wish to bring them to US to be with you, you need to follow proper channel and go thru proper process.

Your parents don't fall under IR1 visa IR1 visa is only for the spouse. Your parents would go under IR5 and you will have to follow the process and timeline for IR5.

Thank you for your comments. Just FYI - Please DO NOT post comments unless you would are kind or positive.

This is the second term for my mother to get a 5 years multi entry visa. It is not our intention to commit any fraud. This is my mother's fourth visit to the US except this time my wife and I are expected a baby and I am trying to have my mother help us out with the baby without her having to leave the country and coming back. Trying to save some money you know on the air tickets. Also I have been a citizen for 4 years now. I could have applied for my mother long time ago but she did not want to stay here for more than 3 months last three times. Thanks again!!

Hello friends,

First of all thank you all for being a kind and wonderful community. I couldn’t have done without you!!!

Now here is my situation –

I am a US citizen. My mother and my 2 siblings (both under 18) are visiting the US on a visit visa that will expire in Dec 2011. I am planning on filling I-485 for my mother so that she can get her status adjusted. My question is - can my minor siblings be added on the I 485 form (or any other from?) with my mother so that they can also get their status adjusted to permanent residents.

I appreciate your assistance!!

Hello to all my VJ Friends,

On 9-22-09 I got a case status online update stating that my I-130 have been approved. It only took 28 days. I was thinking it would take at least three months. Now, I know USCIS will transfer the I-130 to the NVC.

My question is can I wait 45-60 days before paying the AOS and IV Bill? Is there an expiration date on approved I-130 that is sitting at NVC? Is there a certain time frame within which I need to pay the NVC fees?

FYI - The reason I need 45-60 days is because my wife has some exams in November that will determine her pass/fail degree after four years of college education. I would like to have her interview date in December 09/ January 10.

You friends are great. I appreciate all your help whole heartedly.

Hello my VJ friend,

Hi, I am a USC ( Bangladesh Origin) and I filled I-130 for my Bangladeshi wife. Now my question is would my wife have to submit DS-230 at the US embassy in Bangladesh in her Visa Interview? Or do I need to submit it in the NVC here in the US with IV Package? I am going for IR-1 / CR-1 Immigrant Visa for my wife.

Thanks in advance for your help!!!
