Did I have chance to fill out the I-130 for my mother if her I-94 expire 2 mos ago without any problems?

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
If your mother is 70 years old and still in the United States, you would be best off applying for her adjustment of status here in the States if that is the wish of both of you. For that, you would not only be filing the I-130 petition, but also the I-485 adjustment of status along with all the other related forms and documents and filing fee. The fact that she qualifies as the immediate relative of a U. S. citizen exempts her from the requirement of maintaining status in order to file for adjustment of status to permanent residence.  Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

If I will be 21 years old in November, can file in July for my dad?

Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
In general, a U.S. citizen child who has reached age 21 may petition for a parent who entered the U.S. lawfully and with inspection, to adjust status to become a Lawful Permanent Resident (to get a "Green Card"). This is true even if the parent may have long overstayed his initial visa. If you are not thoroughly familiar with the process for adjustment of status in the Immediate Relative visa category, it would be wise for you and your father to work with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information, would be able to advise about eligibilities, options and strategies, and to provide representation throughout the process.

What happens if the illiegal immigrant doesnt get approved for the provisional waiver

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
In most cases where an I-601A provisional waiver is denied, U.S.C.I.S. will take no further actions against the individuals and they will be in the same position as they were before making the application. If an I-601A is approved, the applicants will generally stay in their home countries 1 to 2 months (in our experience).
