Your current state is Virginia
I also have a US Visa.
I need some vital info on how to go about this process because I know it's possible.
It appears that your inquiry lacks essential facts to go by and provide a lucid answer. You state that your mother initiated a submission on your behalf as a Beneficiary, yet, you do not mention what type. Also, you do not indicate what type of visa you have and whether you may be eligible to be... Read more »
my mom is undocumented. I recently saw that she can get a visa through her siblings since they were born here. However, both of them sponsored my aunties husband to get his visa. Can they still sponsor her? How long does the process usually take?
Yes.
If your mother's children were born in the United States and turned 21 years of age they could petition your undocumented mother to adjust the status to Lawful Permanent Residency.

Hello, my wife and I got our white cards approved on Nov 2nd of 2016 and we got our green cards in December of 2018. When can we start the process of applying for citizenship?
Does legal permanent resident timeline start with green card or white card?
If you were paroled into the United States as refugees or asylums and received your LPR status in December of 2018 then you may file for naturalization in exactly four years and one day in December of 2022, provided you qualify otherwise.
I am a US resident and have been mistakenly filing taxes under Single, I know now that I should have been using the Married status eventhough my then husband lived abroad and had NEVER been to the US and had no income tied to the US.

I became a citizen 3 days ago and have to wait at least 10 days to update my SSN. I have to fill out an I9 for a new job. Should I select permanent resident or citizen? My permanent resident card was still valid but I had to surrender it upon taking the oath. Thank you.
If you legally became U.S. Citizen after an oath ceremony you have to state USC and cannot write LPR, Social Security Number notwithstanding.

I have dual nationality and I travelled to the US on an ESTA with my European passport. However it is coming up to a year I have been in the US. Can I apply for CAA with my cuban passport and be able to stay legally in the US?
The bars to adjustment enumerated in Immigration & Nationality Act (INA) 245(c) are inapplicable. So, one who was admitted as nonimmigrant visitor without a visa under the Visa Waiver Program (what you referred to as ESTA) can, assuming all other requirements for the Cuban Adjustment Act (CCA)...

I’m an F1 student and we’re currently preparing a family petition green card application and I’ve never gotten a clear answer in what to put in the employment history section for most recent employment. Do I put unemployed since I’m a student? Do I put student? Or do I put unemployed and... Read more »
You need to provide clear, full and accurate answers. For instance, if you were an F-1 student you need to state exactly that with the corresponding dates. Since you need to account for five past years of employment history, go back chronologically and list any employment places if applicable.

While I was filling my I-130 application online I came to the question if I have had any removal proceedings so I assumed that I did because of NTA but then in the part where I have to type the place and date of hearing, the system would not allow me to put a future date.
What should I do?... Read more »
That is why we always recommend filing a hard paper form with its copy retained in a file. This way an exact submission is preserved with an ability to input all required data on the federal form.

I need help to address this issue as I'm the applicant
PR generally refers to Permanent Resident. That being said, you question makes no since.
My background.
I was in USA from 2009 to 2013. I have studied and worked on my OPT in usa. My whole family lives in USA ( 2 sisters, 1 brother and my mom). I moved to Kenya in 2013 after marriage. I have visited USA in 2015 for 3 months on visitor visa and again in 2016 for 6 months. In... Read more »
You triggered inadequate documents finding with your frequent travel, frequent stays, attempted entry from the third county without returning to your home county.
In fact, your file contains a perceived dual immigration intent, based on your narrative.
Now you require a waiver.

A case review is required for your submission. If you father was paroled into the United States there may be a possibility to adjust his status without Consular Processing. But that legal analysis can be determined only after a full case review.

I want to migrate to the US. I know minors, even unaccompanied homeless immigrants with no legal status, have the right to enroll themselves in school, but what then?

You are mistaken.
1. You will have hard time traveling to the United States by any commercial carrier absent of parental consent as no airline would board you.
2. Secondly, you may not simply board a plane and assume entitlement to work, school or social services in the United... Read more »
The papers have already been sent to D.C. for processing so they can get their citizenship. This started because of the enlistment into the military and the constant talk with a lawyer. But if the person is discharged, can they still get their parents their papers?
Possibly, based on one's military discharge status and other factors. You indicated the parents do have a licensed immigration counsel which should be the best legal route as that professional should be intimately familiar with the case fine, correspondence, case filing and evidentiary case support.
'm the husband (sponsor) of my wife (the beneficiary). I prepared the I-130A for my wife and listed myself as the Preparer. Do I also have to list myself as the Interpreter?

If she speaks English and knows the words but you are helping her understand the meaning of something (rather than translate from English to her native language) then I don't think you need to list yourself as the interpreter. Best wishes!

This situation definitely may create a domino effect if your spousal’s situation is examined for possible immigration fraud.
I suggest consulting without any delay with an experienced immigration attorney.
There is no room for mistake here.
