    Notice of potential interview waiver & Advance parole

    Hi everybody! I completed my mom's green card application back in October 2014, a week before her I-94 expired. She stayed 5 months and 3 weeks with her tourist visa. I waited that long because I wasn't sure if we should apply for GC. Per your recommendation, I also applied for advance parole...

    Concurrent filing of I-130 and I-485

    I remember reading it online that on I-485 Part 2, we were supposed to mark (A) for immediate relative. I am filing both i-130 and i-485 together for my mom. Should i check (A) or (h)? Thank you,

    Greencard application for mom, my cover sheet, please check if ok...

    Thank you, Newacct. She doesn't work anymore, she is retired and we want her to babysit our baby, that's why I didn't bother with EAD. But I did try to fill the advance parole but it was asking for the reason of the request and we didn't have any. My grandmother is at a nursing home but she is...

    To keep your green card active, do you have to stay in US for 6 months every year?

    Thank you for this detailed advice, Jack. Last question, if she gets her green card and then let's assume gives it up in 5 years because she could not make to US every year due to other grandchildren in her country (she is also a retired school teacher), can she apply for a new B1/B2 visa to...

    To keep your green card active, do you have to stay in US for 6 months every year?

    My question is, I used to hear that you needed to visit US at least once a year for a week to keep your green card. Is that still valid or no? I am asking because I am planning to get a gc for my mother who will be living in US for 1-2 years in the near future to take care of my baby but then...

    Mom babysitting my newborn, shall i apply for greencard for her?

    But her tourist visa will be cancelled out once she gets the green card. Can she get another non-immigrant B1-B2 visa again?
