How can I start the process for to get my mother papers?

Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
Generally, a U.S. citizen age 21 or older may apply for a parent to adjust status to become a Lawful Permanent Resident (to get a "Green Card") if that parent is in the U.S. and had entered the country lawfully and with inspection. If any of those details do not apply, then a completely different legal analysis may be required. It would be wise to engage an immigration attorney to learn all of the relevant information about your mother, including about her immigration-related history, in order to advise about immigration eligibilities, options and strategies, and to represent you and your mother in that process. Some immigration law firms, including mine, offer legal services on a "flat fee" basis so that a client will know the total expense from the very beginning, and a few immigration law firms, including mine, offer an initial consultation free of charge.

Green card expiration

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Your question is a toughie, but I would side with those who think that you would not need to file for a replacement of the green card. Under immigration rules, an individual with a green card expiring within six months prior to filing for naturalization should file for a replacement green card. In your case, the time from mid-March to August is five months, and so technically you should file for the replacement card. That being said, U.S.C.I.S. in Newark is scheduling naturalization applicants approximately 5 months from the date of filing. So there is a good possibility that you may have a valid green card on the date of interview. I also believe that most examiners would understand and not attempt to penalize you for not complying with the rule even if the card expires prior to the date of interview.

Can a green card holder mother sponsor divorced daughter?

Answered by attorney Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
Yes, she can. The waiting time in the F2B category (unmarried children of permanent residents) is about 7 years (much longer for natives of Mexico and Philippines). If the mother becomes a citizen, the waiting time will become about 1 year shorter.
