Spur, TX Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

If your husband entered the US legally, you can petition for him and he can apply for adjustment of status simultaneously to receive his green card, even if he overstayed his visa.

Once your son turns 21 he can petition for you to come to the U.S. as an immediate relative; to come sooner you would need to qualify for a nonimmigrant visa.

The U.S. citizen will first file a petition for the daughter with USCIS. However, since the daughter is over 21 years old, she is not considered an immediate relative of the U.S. citizen. This means that once the petition is approved, the daughter will need to wait for the priority date in her immigrant visa category to become current. Based upon current processing times, the wait can actually be more than five years. It is possible that future immigration reform may shorten the waiting time. Although it may be a lengthy process, it is advisable to file the initial petition as soon as possible to secure a priority date. You should also be advised that if the daughter gets married before the priority date in her category becomes current, it will push her into another category with unfortunately an even longer wait.
