Green-card Holder Filing I-130 and I-485

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
If you are sponsoring your wife under your green card status, the priority date of the I-130 petition must be current for visa availability and she must be in valid nonimmigrant status to be eligible for the I-485 to be filed. If not, she can either return or wait for you to become a U. S. citizen. Upon your citizenship, her category would change to immediate relative, a preference which is always available, and her overstay would not prevent her from filing an acceptable I-485 application.

Immigration to America

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
The law between 1952 and 1986 required that a US citizen parent be physically present in the US or possession for 10 years prior to the child's birth, five of which were after the age of 14, in order to pass US citizenship at birth. Honorable US military service can be included in the calculation of years. Assuming that you can prove the circumstances above, you would be a U. S. citizen. If so, you should contact the American Embassy to take steps to secure your citizenship.
