Walsh, CO Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

It depends on a lot of facts not mentioned in your question. Are you a U.S. citizen or Legal Resident? Are you planning on getting married when he arrives? How long have you known him and do you have proof of constant contact? These are just a few of the questions that need to be answered before an attorney can adequately answer your question. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your case. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze you case and advise you of your options.

Your mother may have two options depending on how she entered the United States. If she entered lawfully meaning with a visa she may be able to merely adjust status. If she did not you may have to examine what waivers would be necessary for her.

Best wishes upon your upcoming marriage. Some clarifications to your question are needed in order to respond. It sounds like you are planning to become married to a U.S. Citizen, who then will help you apply to "adjust status" to become a Lawful Permanent Resident (to get a "Green Card"). [Note: "change of status" refers to changing from one type of non-immigrant visa to another type of non-immigrant visa] If you are planning to apply to adjust status, then the next step in the analysis is to examine whether there may be any details about you and your spouse that might interfere with eligibility or might require unusual steps to be needed (such as obtaining and analyzing certified criminal court records, addressing problems or peculiarities with birth records or previous divorce records, etc.). Some immigration law firms, including mine, offer legal services on a "flat fee" basis so that a client will know the total expense from the very beginning, and a few immigration law firms, including mine, offer an initial consultation free of charge.
