Can my 17 year old son married with a US citizen, have green card or my 5 year old US citizen sponsor his father or mother?

Answered by attorney Phong Thanh Tran (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
If your son is married to a US citizen and entered the country *illegally*, his wife should petition for him immediately and he should return to his home country *within 6 months of his 18th birthday* before he accumulates more than 6 months of unlawful presence in the US, to avoid being subject to the 3-year or 10-year bars. The petition is filed on form I-130, and he can safely return to the US as a legal resident after the petition has been approved and processed by immigration. It takes approximately 1 year to process the I-130. If your son entered the country legally, he can apply for adjustment of status immediately with USCIS and get his residency here in the US without having to return to his home country. The application is filed on form I-485. If your son receives his green card and remains married to his US citizen wife, he can apply for citizenship after he has been a resident for at least 2 years and 9 months. After he has become a naturalized citizen, he can then petition for his parents.

Does my H1b visa gets cancelled if I go for F4 green card visa and the green card visa is denied?

Harun Kazmi
Answered by attorney Harun Kazmi
Immigration lawyer at Kazmi & Sakata
The H1b visa has "dual intent". This means you can have the temporary intent to resume work for your employer and have permanent intent to want to stay in the US as a Resident/green card. Thus, they should not cancel your H1b.  Since you are single, it should be fine. You may want to do your own search of marital records in your city and provide proof that you are not married if they ask about that. This of course, will depend on where you live. Good Luck!
