Dunwoody, GA Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Generally, if a couple divorces after the foreign national spouse has obtained Conditional Resident Status, then it becomes necessary to file the Form I-751 Petition to Remove Conditions with a request for a waiver of the usual requirement that the couple continue to live together in a bona fide marriage and that they petition jointly; if the couple divorces after having filed a joint Form I-751 Petition, then the case can be converted from a joint petition to one with a request for a waiver. The circumstances you described, including the fact that your friend conceived and gave birth to another man's child while still married to the U.S. citizen spouse can be quite problematic for success with a Form I-751, and it would be an enormous mistake for your friend to go forward without legal representation from an immigration lawyer. Questions about whether your friend could take her U.S. citizen baby to another country will not be governed by U.S. immigration laws, but instead by domestic relations laws in the State where your friend and her baby live.

Hello. You can file for all of their Permanent Residencies (green cards). Your parents can process the fastest in about a year. Your 3 siblings will take about 12 years. When your parents get their green cards, they can file for their children and perhaps cut the wait time in half.  All cases are first processed in the US and then go tot he US Embassy for the interviews and approvals. Let me know if I can be of any help.
