I expect my mom to spend more than 2/3 of her time in the US as all of her children are now in the US/Canada. So I would not worry about that. But my question still is, am I correct in assuming that I should file for her I-130/485 within the next few weeks since by then, she would have already spend over 60 days in the US?

She plans to live here a majority of her time. But she does like to travel so she will be travelling still.

My mom is currently with us here in USA. She came in via B-2 Tourist visa last April. When she came in, she was warned by the immigration officer that the next time she comes over, she will not be allowed in because in the last couple of years, she came here 3 times and each time, she stayed close to 6 months. This is because my wife and I had our first baby, also the first grand child of my mom. So this time, with that warning, I am thinking of petitioning my mom so that she can come as often as she wants. I am a USC already so that should not be a problem. I do have a question and would appreciate any help. I thought I read somewhere that I can petition my parent who is travelling here in the US on B-2 as long as their date of entry is more than 60 days but not past the expiration date of the I-94 card. Is that correct? Also, when I apply, I can also send in form 485 at the same time as the I-130 right? I should also be able to send in the Advance parole form so that she can travel outside?

Thanks for any help

I am naturalized USC who is planning to petition my mother who is currently visiting us here in the US. She entered the US with a Tourist Visa. She has been here for almost 2 months now. If I remember correctly, I can petition for her as long as she has been here at least 60 days and within the date that is in her I-94?? Also, I guess I can also file the I-485 at the same time as the I-130? So in filling the I-485, in part 2, do I check option a (An immigrant petition giving me immediate avialble visa number that has been approved..)?

Thanks in advance for the clarification and if you have any other tips.
