Q: How Can I help my mom become a U.S citizen ? I'm 26
I really want to help my mother become a u.s citizen. Just dont know what steps to take .shes been here in the u.s for 26 plus years .I just dont want mom getting deported and my lil brother of 11 years to not have my mom here . Also is there an estimate on how much it would be if this was possible?
A: Hi there! It’s very difficult to evaluate your moms case without more information but since she lived in the US for so long she may have some options:: for example if you are a US citizen you may petition for her to become a legal permanent residency or , she may be eligible for cancellation of removal. I would recommend that you consult with immigration attorney who will evaluate your moms situation and will give you specific advice.
Stephen Arnold Black agrees with this answer
A: We would need more information, such as details as to your mother's status, to give you an accurate answer. Feel free to call myself or another qualified immigration attorney for a consultation.
A: The outcome of your objective depends on a variety of factors. Did mom enter the USA legally? despite that mom's out of status. Do you have a green card or are you a US citizen over 21? Does mom have any prior Notices to appear or to self deport from the Immigration Dept? and many more. Discuss with counsel in a totally free phone call. Counsel in any state can hep you. Good luck.
