Round Rock, TX Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Your husband would have to petition for his immediate family. He can do that after he has his green card. It will take time though and there is no fast way to get this done. So apply and be prepared to wait.

Your permanent resident father should have filed the first step (I-130) for your green card as soon as he got his. At that time, you were a minor child of a permanent resident, and you would have a place in line, called a "priority date" for your green card of 2006. When he becomes a US citizen, you are a first preference, but it is still a 7 year wait. If he hasn't filed anything for you yet, it will be 7+ years. If he has filed for you it will be 2 years.

If you wish, you could conceivably request an infopass and explain your situation to an immigration officer at your local U.S.C.I.S. office. If the field office agrees, it could issue an I-94 card denoting asylum. When the immigration judge makes a decision, each side is given the choice of whether to appeal or not within 30 days. You could point out the part of your decision showing that the government has waived appeal.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.
