Can I use a twenty year old petition to migrate with my family?

Kenneth G. Wincorn
Answered by attorney Kenneth G. Wincorn
Immigration lawyer at Law Offices of Kenneth G. Wincorn & Associates, P.C.
You will have to start over. Since your grandfather was the sponsor, his death ends the sponsorship even if it was still pending before USCIS. It may be a benefit to do a FOIA request to see if there is anything still pending in your file.

Hat is the time frame for me to get a visa through my sister?

When an I-130 petition is filed a Priority Date (PD) is established. When the PD is current the beneficiary of the petition can file for their Green Card through adjustment of status (if in the US and eligible), or apply for an immigrant visa (it outside the US). It will take 12 to 18 years for the PD of a brother/sister of a U.S. Citizen to become current.

Can a student with an out of status student visa who is not enrolled marry a US citizen?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jesse S Brar (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Sharon L. Preston, P.C.
Yes, an out of status student can marry a U.S. citizen, and the U.S. spouse citizen can file an immigrant relative petition for that student. To be eligible for adjustment of status (Permanent Residence), a person has to show that their entry into the U.S. was "with inspection", so in this case since the student entered the U.S. with a student visa (i.e., with inspection), he or she would be eligible for adjustment of status. The student would have to prove to the USCIS that the marriage is a bona fide marriage, where the couple intends to make a life together, and it's not just for immigration purposes.
