Blakely, GA Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Generally, a U.S. citizen age 21 or older may sponsor parents to adjust status to become Lawful Permanent Residents (to get "Green Cards"), and there is no "wait time" for commencing this process. There may, however, be some waiting considerations depending upon the parents' date of entry into the U.S., and of course there are many other details that relate to immigration eligibility. It would be wise for you and your parents to consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information about your family, could advise about immigration eligibilities, options and strategies for your parents, and could offer legal representation for the application process (which can be significantly more complex than it might appear).

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration/criminal defense attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your arrest/case/situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case, (and) advise you of your options (and, if possible, make sure that the necessary paperwork and documentation is presented so as not to delay the process).

$680 is application fee unless you meet the requirements for a Fee Waiver - check the instructions for form I-912. Have you complied with the Selective Service requirement now otherwise don't waste the money to re-apply unless this is resolved.
