Saint Marys, GA Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Hello Viky, Thank you for your question.  Generally pregnant women are not subject to the 5 year bar in receiving Medicaid benefits.  Therefore, typically a pregnant legal permanent resident is able to receive Medicaid benefits during the term of pregnancy.  Pregnant women then revert to the 5-year bar once their pregnancy is over, if they have not yet been in qualified immigrant status for 5 years. Kind regards, Erin

We presume that you are US citizen. You may be familiar with the issue of preconceived intent. This means that your parents intended to come to the United States on a visitor visa and then sought immigrant visa status. The rules seem to indicate that if you wait more than 60 days before filing the green card applications then there is a diminishment in the preconceived intent. Under the circumstances it would be best for them to wait 60 to 90 days from their entry date before the filing is made for them. Of course, there is no substitute to enlisting the services of a qualified immigration law professional to assist you with regard to this issue.

Based on the information provided in your post, I assume you are not familiar with US immigration laws and would advise strongly that you hire an immigration attorney.
