A:
Yes, you can assist your mom in filling out Form I-130, which is the petition for alien relative, even if you are currently living outside the USA. Your role would be to provide her with the necessary information about yourself that the form requires. This includes personal details, your current address, and any other relevant information about your relationship and background.
However, it's important to ensure that all the information provided on the form is accurate and truthful. Any errors or omissions can lead to delays or complications in the processing of the petition. Your mother, as the petitioner, will be responsible for submitting the form to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
If either of you have any doubts or questions about the process, it may be helpful to consult with an attorney or a qualified immigration advisor. They can provide guidance and help ensure that the form is filled out correctly and all necessary supporting documents are included. Remember, getting the details right the first time can save a lot of time and effort in the long run.
