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

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
You mother will not get a conditional green card, she will get a permanent one. Only a spouse of a U.S. citizen receives a conditional green card; and the condition is that they remain married for about 2 years, until conditions are removed, and the green card is replaced with a permanent one. What the condition on your mother's green card would be, that she remains your mother for 2 years? And yes, she can file a petition for her son the minute she receives her own permanent resident status.

I want to do my citizenship but we never filed our taxes together always seperate and head of household. Would I have problems?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Although I am not familiar with IRS rules, my information is that registering as head of household means that the applicant is either single, divorced, or lived apart six months or more in a calendar year. If you fit none of these categories, you might certainly owe the government some money. I do note that immigration examiners are not IRS employees and do not collect back taxes on behalf of IRS. A naturalization examiner's general mission is the grant or denial of naturalization applications.

Immigration lawyer at Law Offices of Alena Shautsova
I would think it should be conditional residence, the same as for your mother it depends on your age and other factors.
