incorrect,
she cannot file the i485, she isn't an immediate family member. she has more than 10 years of waiting, there is a waiting line for siblings and it takes a very long time.
they cannot adjust in country, siblings must go through consular processing unless they are covered by the 245i law.
meaning they have a petition filed for them before April 30th, 2001.

the petitioner is always the sponsor, and regardless if she works or not, she has to file a i864 as sponsor. she can have a joint sponsor, who will file another i864.
shw must also file a letter explaining why she hasn't paid taxes. and send whatever she has.

if she doesn't live with them, then she has to file another i864 as joint sponsor.
her husband will file an i864 as ssponsor, then his mom will file another i864 as the only joint sponsor.
she isn't a household member, so she doesn't qualify for the i864A.

1} No. siblings aren't derivatives
2) Yes, siblings aren't derivatives, they must be filed separatly and takes a very long time.
3) yes, your mother may take around 1 year, compared to sibling that would take more than 20 years.
for siblings from Philippines, the visa buletin is on March 8th, 1988.
It would be better if your mother becomes a LPR, a resident and then files for him. It will take more than 10 years and he cannot marry. The visa bulletin is on December 1st 1999 for unmarried children over 21 from Philippines.

you can file for him, the petition will take more than 10 years. he cannot adjust in country, and if he leaves he will be subject to the 10 year ban. you can start by filing the i130.
he should find out if he has a deportation order in absentia. sometimes after a asylum petition is denied, a person might be issued a deportation order.

it depends on how one became a resident. If a citizen spouse filed for you, then it's 3 years of being a resident, 3 years of marriage and still being married to the person who filed for you.
by any other means, you have to wait 5 years, 90 days prior you can file the N400.

yes you can, you just have to wait until you have been a LPR, a resident for 5 years.

they will be able to adjust under the 245i law by paying a fine. he will have to prove that he entered the country by Dec 21st, 2000. Your friend and her husband will both have to pay the $1000 fine, but her son won't because he is under 16.
they should be thankful that his sister filed for them before April 30th, 2001, because if they left the country, they would have a 10 year ban, there is no waiver for siblings, overstay wouldn't be forgiven.
From what country are they and what is the priority date? are you sure that it's next year that the priority date will become current? have they checked for themselves? they shouldn't just rely on what the attorney says, because they are already working for some countrie's priority dates January or February of 2002. They might alreay be passed their priority date.
That's why it's important to know the country and priority date.

I believe it's $675 total including the biometrics! $80 is the biometrics...

Hello
Any one with more information and solutions PLEASEEEEE!!!!!
My father, a US. Citizen, filed an I-130 petition on behalf of his 4 brothers/sisters back in 1998, on the same year, the petition was approved by USCIS but advice that they needed to wait for their priority date in order to apply for for an I-485, mean time, one of my aunt which was part of the 4 siblings on the approved I-130, already had a B2 visitors visa valid which she used often. On August 2003, same aunt came to the US under her valid B2 visa and decided that she would just stay and wait for her priority date in the states and allowed her visa to expire. November 2009 the priority date was sent for all the of my dads siblings and they were now been considered to file the I-485 and they have done so, same time the aunt that had stayed with her B2 visa applied for an Adjustment of status and work permit instead since she was already in the US. Her work permit & social was sent on March/2010 and her face to face appointment for the I485 was on April/2010, following the appointment she was denied residency because she had overstated her visa, she then filed and appeal and received the same response and that the decision was final.
She has gone to about 6 attorneys and they all say that the only way was to get married to a US Citizen, which to me makes no sense since she has overstated her visa anyways....I also read on the CFR-8 citation# 245 where its state that some immigrants are consider "grandfathered" if when they file for the I485 are already in the US and have an approved petition on or before April 21, 2001.
What can my aunt do in her case? Attorneys are only giving one crazy option, and Immigration seems to maintain there decision.
HELP!!!!

what date does the GC say that you became a LPR? from that date it's 5 years, 90 days before the 5 years you can apply for citizenship.

no problem. just complete the back part of the oath letter, and reply yes to any changes since the interview, where it says have you traveled and take your passports to show you traveled.

correct, that's what the visa bulletin is for. you have a waiting line and when the priority date becomes current, that means there is a visa available for everyone with those dates. between NVC contacting your uncle, the filing and completing the paperwork, sending the file to their country and then having the interview takes time.

I really cannot say how they did that, but the timeline hasn't changed a bit. I'm a single child of a USC over 21. My mom filed for me in 1999, it took me 5 1/2 years to get my GC. Could you get the date that the i130 was filed and when it was approved? What was their priority date?
Q2 you count her salary depending if she is a USC or LPR, but you have to count her anyway as part of your household size.

unfortunatly you can't only direct USC family members can. You wife when she becomes a USC can file a petition for her. YOu can invite her, but she will have to get a tourist visa in the US Consulate/Embassy in her country. she will have to prove srong family ties to her country and show proof that she will return.
