Lyons, GA Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Significantly, more information is needed in order to answer your questions, but generally a U.S. citizen may have pending immigration applications for both a spouse and a parent and there is no need to complete one before starting the other. There really is no substitute, however, for consulting with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information about you, your husband and your mother, could advise about immigration eligibilities, options and strategies and could then offer legal representation in the application processes.

You can submit an appeal on Form N-336 within 30 days of the decision. The cost is $605 and you will be given another hearing date in which to resolve any outstanding issues.

A U.S. citizen age 21 or older generally may petition for parents to adjust status to become Lawful Permanent Residents (to get "Green Cards"), regardless of whether the U.S. citizen is married. If she is married, then the amount of documentable income necessary to meet the Affidavit of Support requirements will need to take the spouse into consideration when calculating the family size and amount of needed income - if her documentable income is insufficient, a joint sponsor may be needed. There are many other details that would determine eligibility for the Adjustment of Status application process. It would be wise for you and your parents to consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information, could advise about immigration-related eligibilities, options and strategies and could offer legal representation for the application process (which often is significantly more complex than it may first appear).
