What chances do I have to obtain f2 status?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
If: 1) your F1 status was continuously valid all this time and remains valid now; 2) your wife's F1 status is valid now; and 3) your family has means to support itself in the U.S. without employment here - then your eligibility for F2 is clear, and there is no apparent reason to doubt its approval. Should you wish to exercise an extreme caution, you can continue your full-time enrollment on F1 until you get a decision on your change of status application (about 2.5 months): if your change of status gets approved, you can drop out from the college; if it gets denied - you just continue in F1. If, however, you did not maintain the minimum required coursework, accepted unauthorized employment, or otherwise failed to maintain your F1 status, or if you cannot show the financial ability to support yourself and your wife in the U.S., then the chances of your change of status application being approved are not 8% - they are exactly 0%, and you should consult an immigration attorney to find out whether you should leave the U.S. to avoid becoming subject to a 3 or 10-year bar to re-entry.

Can a conditional green card holder petition a relative to come to US?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Phong Thanh Tran (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
Yes. Your mother can petition for her unmarried son as soon as she becomes a resident. If your mother received her green card through you, its unlikely that she will be a conditional resident. She should be a permanent resident.

Pass us citizenship to kids overseas

Stephen Arnold Black
Answered by attorney Stephen Arnold Black
Immigration lawyer at The Law Office of Stephen A. Black
Your children may already be US citizens. You should file a Consulate record of birth abroad (CRBA) with the US Embassy in the country of your children's birth. They should be able to document that they are already citizens by birth and provide a record of that for you. As far as your wife is concerned, you would need to sponsor her for a green card. You should retain counsel to handle the case from start to finish so that no mistakes delays or denials result.
