Will my mother be able to apply for me if she has been a green card holder for over two years?

Alan Rodolfo Diamante

If your mother is a permanent resident, she can petition an adult single son now. It will take some time for a visa to be available.

Can I become a United States resident if I have been living here for sixteen years?

Unfortunately no at this time based on your description. If you entered the US illegally, you may not adjust your status to green card even if you marry a US citizen. You better consult with an immigration attorney soon.

How do we know if we are we US Citizens and if so, how do we get proof?

Answered by attorney Lana Vladimirovna Kurilova Rich (Unclaimed Profile)

I would need to look into it in more detail, but at the first glace, your sister might qualify for the US citizenship if her biological father was a US citizen and if he maintained ties with her (lived together, supported her, etc. - all supported with some documentation). You most likely do not qualify because, before you turned 18, you had no parents who were US citizens. That said, I would have to research and see whether your step-dad marrying your mom in 1974 makes any difference; I want to say "no," but I would need to do some research. All in all, I think it is worth it for you to find an attorney and consult with all the facts and documents available; the situation is complex enough but the outcome is important enough, in my opinion, for you to take the time to sit down with an attorney and get definitive answers.
