If my parents have visitor visa once they enter the US do I have to file both the I-130 and I-485?

Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
You have to file both the I-130 and I-485 if your parents want to apply for permanent residency while remaining in the US. However, the forms should not be filed any sooner than 60 days after their arrival in the US or immigration may accuse them of committing visa fraud because they allegedly had a preconceived intent of remaining in the US permanently when they arrived.

Can I file I 485 while I 130 is pending?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
  If and when your priority date becomes current under the Department of State monthly visa bulletin, you can file for adjustment of status on form I-485. There are two monthly charts – “filing dates” and “final action dates”. USCIS determines which chart can be used during each month for filing adjustment of status applications. So for example, if the filing dates chart has reached your priority date but not the final action dates chart and USCIS decides to go with final action dates for the month, you cannot file your adjustment of status application. Also of course, you must continue to maintain your legal nonimmigrant status to file form I-485 since you are not in an immediate relative category.

What should I do if I want to bring my daughter from Liberia to the US?

David Nabow Soloway
Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
Significantly more information is needed in order to provide a legal analysis of ways you and your daughter may be able to achieve your goal. That includes, for example, information about your own immigration status (are you a U.S. citizen? Are you a Permanent Resident? Do you have some other status?); information about your daughter (what is her age? Is she married?); what immigration-related application(s) ever have been filed by or for your daughter? Etc. There really is no substitute for consulting with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information, could advise about immigration eligibilities, options and strategies, and who then could offer legal representation in the often complex application process.
