Can I marry my ex wife, in my home country and file I-130 for her?

Answered by attorney Mary Lyn Tanawan Sanga (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Offices of Mary Lyn T. Sanga A Professional Corporation
If you obtained your lawful permanent resident status through marriage to a U.S. citizen, you cannot petition another spouse within 5 years from becoming a permanent resident. Please note that remarrying your previous spouse and filing a petition for her may trigger a more thorough review of the petition and, depending on the circumstances, a review of your previous petition and naturalization. I strongly recommend that you seek a lawyer's advice before you proceed with filing a petition for your previous spouse.

Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
You can petition for both your mom and younger brother by filing form I-130. However, your brother must wait for his visa priority date to become current before he can immigrate to the US. The current wait time for siblings from Mexico of US citizens is approximately 17 years. It will take approximately 9-12 months to process your mom's paperwork before she can come to the US as a permanent resident.

My parents don't know I am married (because I am gay), how can I sponsor them the visas to visit me?

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
In inviting individuals over for a visit, the inviter usually gives an invitation letter guaranteeing that he or she will support the visitor during the time of staying in the US, laying out the itinerary, and promising that the visitor will return home after the visit. This is usually accompanied by an I-134 affidavit of support with job letter, bank letter or statement, and tax return. So in answer to your questions, you can go through the process without letting your parents know that you are married. Whether or not you let them know later or they find out through any other way when they are in the US is another matter entirely.
