Do I have to file both Form I-485 and I-130 together and does her passport have to be current?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Phong Thanh Tran (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
Both Forms I-485 and I-130 can be concurrently filed with USCIS to apply for adjustment of status, assuming your daughter qualifies. It is not necessary for her passport to be current, but her last entry into the United States must be legal or with inspection to be eligible for adjustment of status.

Can a child who is a US resident file for one of his parents who has a family (wife and child)?

William Junior Vasquez
Answered by attorney William Junior Vasquez (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Vasquez Law Firm, PLLC
Unfortunately, permanent residents cannot petition for their parents. That right is only reserved for U.S. citizens. A permanent resident is only allowed to file for his or her spouse, child under the age of 21, and adult child who is unmarried. Derivatives of the beneficiary of a petition are included in the original petition. For example, if a permanent resident father petitions for his adult unmarried daughter who has a child under the age of 21, that child would be included as a derivative of the underlying petition.

Approved h1b petition before completing 2year residency rule of J1visa

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Generally speaking, U.S.C.I.S. is not supposed to approve an H1B petition where the two-year foreign residence requirement of a J-1 visa has not yet been satisfied. If you somehow managed to have the H-1B petition approved and you are attempting to obtain the visa in your passport, the Consulate may very well send the approved petition back to U.S.C.I.S. for possible revocation. Even if it does not, it would not give you an H1B visa to work during the time that you are still subject to the two-year requirement.
