Benbrook, TX Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

You can't sponsor your mother until you are 21. The other attorney is correct, that if your mother wants to enter the US again before she is allowed by law, then you need to file not only the family petition but also an extreme hardship waiver. If she waits for the full period that she is currently barred, then you only need to file the I-130 petition.

Her disability doesn't change anything or make it easier for her to get here.  Are you a US citizen?  If so, you can petition for her to immigrate.

The scenario that you describe is feasible that you can work on OPT for one employer, and if that employer is unwilling to sponsor, another employer can do the sponsoring and you would move on to that employer at some time thereafter, and at the latest 30 days after October 1 if the H-1B is approved prior to that time, or 30 days following the approval of the H-1B if approved after October 1. I do not see that there would be a higher risk of your being petition being rejected or revoked by being sponsored for H-1B by another employer where your present employer is unwilling to sponsor and you will move on to the sponsoring employer.
