I am a US citizen, filed online I-130 and got receipt for my mother. Will it be sufficient to stay in USA?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
The filing of an I-130 does not confer legal status on the beneficiary. That being said, the maintenance of status of the parent of a US citizen is not a major concern as this type of application falls within the immediate relative category under which an overstay is largely ignored. In the past, we have had cases in which the parent overstayed by 20 years, but were still able to adjust status through the application of a USC son or daughter over the age of 21.

How do we know if we are we US Citizens and if so, how do we get proof?

Answered by attorney Lana Vladimirovna Kurilova Rich (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Lana Kurilova Rich PLLC
I would need to look into it in more detail, but at the first glace, your sister might qualify for the US citizenship if her biological father was a US citizen and if he maintained ties with her (lived together, supported her, etc. - all supported with some documentation). You most likely do not qualify because, before you turned 18, you had no parents who were US citizens. That said, I would have to research and see whether your step-dad marrying your mom in 1974 makes any difference; I want to say "no," but I would need to do some research. All in all, I think it is worth it for you to find an attorney and consult with all the facts and documents available; the situation is complex enough but the outcome is important enough, in my opinion, for you to take the time to sit down with an attorney and get definitive answers.
