Q: she some1 apply for citizenship if married in 2000 was denied twice. 2009 got greencard through citizen daughter.
Should my mom apply for her citizenship.
After she was denied her greencard in 2000 but later received it through her child.
A:
More information is needed, but this seems complicated, and perhaps, the USCIS made a mistake in granting lawful permanent resident status. In addition, the USCIS can get confused if steps were not taken to clarify how she qualified when approved.
As a result, I strongly recommend an appointment or teleconference with a competent and experienced immigration attorney before there are any other complications. Good luck.
The above is general information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney client relationship.
A: If she qualifies and wants to become a USC she should apply. You have not stated any reason why she should not apply.
A:
Your mother should obtain a copy of her prior filings with USCIS and visit with an experienced immigration attorney to properly assess her eligibility for naturalization.
Good luck to you.
