How hard would it be to get him papers and would there be any complications since he entered illegally?

Kevin L. Dixler
Answered by attorney Kevin L. Dixler
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Kevin L. Dixler
If he entered without inspection, then he cannot adjust status, here, unless he was paroled into the U. S., so more information is needed. There may be more options. However, I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration attorney who can spend enough to ask enough questions.

If I petition my mother does she need to leave the country under penalty?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. The short answer is: Yes, you can petition her, but she will probably need a waiver. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your mother's situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze her case, advise you of her options and, if possible, make sure that the necessary paperwork and documentation is presented so as not to delay the process.

Can I petition my parents if I just became a US citizen last month?

David Nabow Soloway
Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
In general, after an adult becomes a naturalized U.S. citizen, the citizen may apply for his/her parents to adjust status to become Lawful Permanent Residents (to get "Green Cards") if the parents entered the U.S. lawfully and with inspection. This is true regardless of whether the parents may have overstayed their visas. Also, immediately upon filing an adjustment of status application, the beneficiary's new status becomes "applicant for permanent residency," which authorizes the beneficiary to remain in the U.S. while the case is pending, regardless of the expiration date of the previous visa. Note, however, that where the parents entered the U.S. with visitor visas (or certain other temporary/nonimmigrant visas), an application filed very soon after entry may create significant problems. Visitor visas are for people who genuinely intend to enter the U.S. to stay temporarily in compliance with their visas and then depart. When an adjustment of status application is filed very soon after entry, it may appear that they entered with the actual intention of applying to adjust status and remain permanently. There then becomes a risk that the USIC could view the use of a visitor's visa as constituting visa fraud, with very harsh consequences. It would be wise to engage an immigration attorney who, upon learning all of the relevant facts about your parents and their immigration-related history, will be able to advise about immigration eligibilities, options and strategies. Some immigration law firms, including mine, offer legal services on a "flat fee" basis so that a client will know the total expense from the very beginning, and a few immigration law firms, including mine, offer an initial consultation free of charge.
