Q: I'm a naturalized US citizens and my mum is in US on a visiting visa, can I file I-130 for her after staying for 6month?
A: Although you can do so, immigration law is changing almost daily. Immigration is an extremely complex and technical area of law. This is not merely a matter of filling out forms. What you do not know can have grave consequences and even prevent you from obtaining immigration benefits. You need to retain an experienced immigration attorney for any immigration matter or you may throw away your future. Good luck.
A: You may be able to file both an I-130 and an I-485 green card application for your mother without waiting for her to be here for a full six months. If you would like to talk about this in more detail, please feel free to call me at (212) 724-5643. Thank you.
