Can I apply for multiple green cards for different people simultaneously?

Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
Your ability to petition the government for immigrant visas for your family depends on your status: to bring in your parents and sister, you have to be a U.S. citizen. If you are a U.S. citizen, you can file immigrant petitions for your parents and sister simultaneously. If your income is below the federal poverty guideline (in your case - $29437 a year), you will have to find a co-sponsor who is a U.S. citizen or has a green card, and has income that exceeds the federal poverty guideline for his family plus 3 (For example, if the co-sponsor has a wife and a child, his income has to be over $39487 a year). You can expect that the process will take 12 to 18 months, depending on the country where your parents live.

How do I know if I am eligible for a green card?

Answered by attorney William D. Fong (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Fong Ilagan
If you were brought into the US illegally, and are 19 years old now, you began accruing unlawful presence starting from your 18th birthday. As you have over one year of unlawful presence, you will trigger a 10-year bar when you leave the US for any reason. Your age at entry is no a defense to the bar. You would need to have your spouse apply for you, and then you apply for the immigrant visa at your home consulate with a waiver to forgive the immigration violations of the illegal entry, unlawful presence and unauthorized employment. Depending on how your parents entered the US and if anything was filed for them prior to April 30, 2001; you may be able to use INA section 245(i) to apply for your adjustment of status here in the US with the payment of a $1000 penalty rather than the IV consular processing and the waiver. Get all the details from your parents and consult with an experienced immigration attorney.

If I falsely declared that I was an american when I was 15 years old in the boarder will this affect the process of taking out residence?

Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Your story is strange indeed as the penalty for misrepresenting oneself as a US citizen is a lifetime bar. It is more likely that the border officers decided to scare three girls by unilaterally stating penalties of three and one year. I suspect that none of this was officially put on anybody's record. So I doubt that you would ever have a problem with this encounter when you are interviewed for permanent residence based on your marriage to a US citizen.
