My minor daughter application was denied, she never left the country, she was here under f2 visa dependent of my f1 visa, when i got my permanent card

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
The difficulty with your daughter’s situation is that her nonimmigrant status ended when yours did since she was only a dependent. Adjustment of status under family cases except for immediate relatives (parents, spouses, and unmarried children under the age of 21 of US citizens) requires the maintenance of status until the filing of the I-485 application. An alternative to appeal or motion is to file an I-130 petition and have your daughter consular process overseas for the immigrant visa. Kindly note that the 3/10 year bars do not apply to children under the age of 18. If your daughter was already 18 by the date of the USCIS denial, the 3/10 year bars only begin to apply if your daughter remains in the US for over 180 days thereafter. The difficulty with appeals and motions is that many are not resolved within 180 days, and if you and your daughter are in this situation, that leaves you and your daughter with a difficult choice of either leaving before the resolution of the appeal or motion or chancing the three-year bar being imposed if the appeal or motion is lost and the 180 days is over.

Filed I-130 for my parents living abroad. I am US citizen. My mother came on B2 and while here the I-130 was approved. Should I file I-485?

Stephen Arnold Black
Answered by attorney Stephen Arnold Black
Immigration lawyer at The Law Office of Stephen A. Black
The answer really is it depends. If you try that you may get approved but USCIS may require an interview and grill mom as to what her true intent was. Did she intend to visit but then changed her mind? Why did she change her mind? Did she buy a one way plane ticket? How many bags did she pack? All these questions will be relevant to determine whether she had concealed intent when she entered the states. Discuss case with counsel here in Florida for a full review of the facts.

How long is the waiting period for withdrawing an I-130 visa petition?

Christine Victoria Troy
Answered by attorney Christine Victoria Troy (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at The Law Office of Christine Troy
I am not sure why you would withdraw and then refile for the same person. The first petition will still be on file so if issues are arising with that petition they will arise again with the second. However after a petition is withdrawn you are eligible to file right away.
