Did I have chance to fill out the I-130 for my mother if her I-94 expire 2 mos ago without any problems?

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
If your mother is 70 years old and still in the United States, you would be best off applying for her adjustment of status here in the States if that is the wish of both of you. For that, you would not only be filing the I-130 petition, but also the I-485 adjustment of status along with all the other related forms and documents and filing fee. The fact that she qualifies as the immediate relative of a U. S. citizen exempts her from the requirement of maintaining status in order to file for adjustment of status to permanent residence.  Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

Can I legally apply for L type visa and do my own business without any sponsored.

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
I assume that when you refer to the H-1B visa expiring in October 2012, you are referring to the maximum limit of 6 years which can only be extended under certain circumstances. An L-1 visa does not appear appropriate as that is a visa status for multinational executives/managers/specialized knowledge individuals who have been in one of the 3 roles for an affiliated company overseas for at least one year in the past 3. Another visa option may be O-1 if you are extraordinary in your field of endeavor and have a sponsoring organization or agent. Further H1B visa status is available again for 6 more years if you leave the U. S. for one year, have a sponsoring organization, and qualify for the H-1B cap again if the organization is not exempt from the requirement. Also in the event that an organization sponsors you for labor certification processing, you may be able to be placed back in H-1B status by a petitioning employer once 365 days have run since labor certification filing or at the time that both labor certification and I-140 preference petition classification have been approved.

I am now 22 years old and in school can I petition my parents even if they came here illegally?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Phong Thanh Tran (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
You can petition for your parents now, but since they came in illegally, they have to return to their home country to attend their visa interviews. If they have been unlawfully present in the US for more than 1 year, they will also need to file for a discretionary waiver in order to return to the United States. To be eligible for the waiver, they must prove extreme hardship to a parent(s) (your grandparents) who has legal immigrant status in the US if their waiver application was not approved.
