    Urgent Help:Is my mom still eligible for GC thru me? (US Citizen) Long story....

    I went to another lawyer today.... i explained the whole situation to him, and this is what he said. He does not think there will be any issue getting a GC for my mother. The fact that she left on 1999, and coming back on 2001 using the same visa. That means there is no reentry bar for...

    Mother coming back to the US after 5 Years but overstayed on previous stay

    Hi, I am not arguing or questioning... but i have a "live" example. Althought I do not know why it can happen. I did make a mistake on my first post. I thought my mother's visa was a 10 year visa (B/c i had a 10 year visa when I came here). Her visa is a PERMANENT visa. I looked at her...

    Mother coming back to the US after 5 Years but overstayed on previous stay

    Hi, I see. So i guess there is no such thing as, "Transferring your existing visa to a new passport.."? And also, you mentioned that "disclose overstay" in the visa form. Let say, the application say NO on teh form, wouldnt the consulate / embasssy verify or be able to check ti against...

    Urgent Help:Is my mom still eligible for GC thru me? (US Citizen) Long story....

    Hi All, Thank you for your reply. To answer some of the questions. 1. We came back in 1991 via a tourist visa. The travel visa that we got back in HK was good for 10 years. But when we were at the POE in the US, the visa was only good for 6 months. And we overstayed after that 6 months...

    Mother coming back to the US after 5 Years but overstayed on previous stay

    Question, if the OP's parent is LET IN at the POE... does that mean the visa is still valid? Then does that mean the parent did NOT have the bar?? If the OP's parent was able to come in thru the POE --- why is that? Why did the bar did not happen?? My mother is in the same situation -...

    Urgent Help:Is my mom still eligible for GC thru me? (US Citizen) Long story....

    hi, Based on what i see on the 485 application, it says, overstayed will be forgiven if the USC is a direct relative, (i.e. spouse, parenst..etc..). So, that means the second time my mom overstayed - that will be forgiven.... I think the only thing i need to worry about is, the fact that...

    -- I just found out that, i made some mistakes in my original post. 1. My mother has a PERMANENT visa - NOT 10 years visa. 2. My mother left united states for the first time at July 1999 (After overstaying for 8 years - but with the asylum court with her cancelled), came back on August...
