    USC petitioning legal Stepchild who is currently in US under a TOURIST VISa

    in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America

    Posted

    Hi everyone!

    My Dad is a USC and my mom married him before my youngest sibling turned 18. She is considered a legal stepchild and now that she's here in the US, my stepdad wanted me to help him process her papers. (My mom is a LPR and I petitioned her myself (parent of USC) in case you are wondering. )

    Is it possible to file I 130 concurrently with I 485 as long as her stay is still valid here in the US?

    If so, how do i answer part 3 question a of i485 *have you ever applied for permanent resident status in the US?

    Do i click yes since im concurrently filing for i130 or no?

    Thank you in advance! Good luck to us all!

    Hi Again Vj Members,

    Here's my situation, Im petitioning for my mom who is currently here in the US (unplanned) but since she didnt have intentions at first to stay here she has a return ticket for dec that we dont want to go to waste.So my question is If im filing I485 concurrenty with I-130, 1-765 and I 131 im wondering what should i write under "class of admission"? Should i write B2/ pending AOS? and for the application type which should i choose for her if her I -130 is still pending?but mostly approved since she is considered an immediate relative of USC that makes visa already available.The options are found in here http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-131.pdf under part 2. Thank you in advance!blush.gif

    Hi There Vj members!

    Im filling out a form I 130 for my mom and on Part C Information about your alien relative it asks List husband/wife children of your relative.So I am listing all my siblings and then it asks relationship, my question... is it my (petitioner) relationship to them or my mom's(beneficiary)relationship with them? I know it sounds silly but i just wanted to make sure! Thank you in advance!blush.gif

    Thank you so much everyone for all the replies. On I 130 it specifically says a parent of USC is considered immediate family and that visa is always available thats why I485 can be filed concurrently as long as beneficiary entered the US legally.My mom has a multiple entry visa, She comes to visit every so often without overstaying. IO is aware she has kids here in SF who can support her.She never mentioned about her BF because she wasnt asked.She never lied to any IO.Her original plan is to come visit and then come home for Christmas,She never expected Bf will fly over here in SF to meet her family and proposed.Fiance wanted to have the wedding here as all my siblings are here. California law allows people to get married as long as they are both unmarried.Fiance is willing to do all the paperwork and go through the process but it is my choice to petition my mom.We have consulted friends and immigration lawyers and they all advised us either way, that the process can be done.I come here on VJ to seek advice who might have gone through the same experience, and gain more knowledge about the process and immigration system. I appreciate all your concerns everyone and will keep u all updated. good.gif

    It's better if the US citizen child petitions to adjust mom's status.

    If the USC child petitions, then mom gets a 10 years green card.

    If the USC husband files, then mom gets a 2 years conditional green card. She must remove condition at the end of 2 years.

    Also, it's easier to prove a child/mom relationship with a birth certificate than a bona-fide marriage.

    If the USC child petitions, then USC hubby cannot hold any immigration issues over mom's head. (See other threads where the USC threatens not to remove the condition or ship the LPR back home.)

    If the USC child petitions, USC hubby can be the Joint Sponsor.

    Thank u so much for this wonderful info, Another question if i may, Will the process of petitioning my mom gets affected if she gets married while she is here on a tourist visa?Or will it not matter?

    Thank you again!good.gif

    Hi everyone, I am a naturalized US citizen and I will be filing a petition for my (annulled/divorced/single) mom along with AOS who is currently here in the US as a visitor, Her I94 expires Dec 25,2012. Her old time BF just proposed to her today who is an american Citizen and plans to marry her this week.My question is, do we have to wait for my application to petition her before getting married?or should i submit it after? will it affect the process? She will be living with my future stepdad in florida ,Can she do the biometrics over there?Im aware that if we are called for interview that i might fly over there to be with her or vice versa. Am i doing the right process of petitioning her instead of the spouse- to- be- petitioning her?

    Thank you so much for taking time to read my post, i know its a little complicated. and Thank you in advance for all your response.It would be greatly appreciated.blush.gif

    Confused for my mom, HELP!

    Hi everyone! biggrin.gif

    I am a naturalized USC and my mom will be here in a few days, She is on multiple entry visa and been visiting US for 3-4 x now, w/o overstaying. The last time she was here, her BF ( She's divorced, in case you are all wondering )from Florida proposed to her and they got engaged.Now my question is, Is it better if I will file my petition for her along with AOS since she's already here? or If they will marry while she's here , Can my soon to be step-dad petition her? Which way will result into less complications?helpsmilie.gif I also have 2 younger siblings back home one is turning 18 the other is 16, I know my mom can petition them once she gets her green card. Thank you in advance for all the response.blush.gif

    Hi everyone! Just received email from USCIS regarding Dex application to adjust for permanent residence.It says in the letter that they mailed us a notice for an interview.I guess his papers were not transferred to CSC?Its just weird coz we are here in Cali.Hmmn...Anyweiz, He's sched for 6/24 .:thumbs: I'll keep u guys updated once we received the hardcopy mail. And i totally agree walkins for biometrics does make a difference, coz he is actually sched for today for the biometrics but since he did that 2 weeks ago they were able to process his papers and now just received the interview notice.:thumbs:

    Good luck everyone! :blush:

    Ok, got a hardcopy in the mail today and it says my case has been transfered to CSC! That explains the transfer but I don't know why my case status on USCIS website says transfered to MSC. Anyway, I hope that means no interview! :)

    :dance: yay! crossing my fingers for u for no interview!:dance: sometimes the website is not updated correctly so no worries about MSC as long u have the hardcopy stating its been transferred to CSC!:thumbs:
