Strasburg, CO Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

If you are a US citizen, you can file a visa petition for your mother when you turn 21. Whether or not she can apply for legal status depends on her background and history. She should speak with an immigration attorney.

Whether you can sponsor two persons at the same time depends upon your means, but also upon timing. If you are a fairly wealthy individual or making a good living, e.g. earn $100,000 annually, you would usually have no problems sponsoring multiple individuals. On the other hand, if you make much less and barely pass the levels required under federal guideline levels (see USCIS form I-864P), you may decide to sponsor only one instead of two if they are both in the category of cases that require an immediate affidavit of support. On the other hand, if the cases will require affidavits of support far apart from each other in time, you can probably sponsor both since you will not have put up the second affidavit of support by the time that the first case is completed.
