That's fine - that's the basis you're filing on, just 90 days early as allowed.

Why would you need Voluntary Departure? It looks like you will have just a few weeks of illegal presence, no bars kicking in.

Let's start with these - Did your mother enter the US legally? What is your income?

America taxes income, not wealth. No taxes will be due on the sale of the property assuming she made no profit on it, or sold it before she enters the US.

That's not going to work, since SHE is the one filing the AOS. The OP has no say in the matter, legally.

That's fine. No explicit filing is required. You are eligible for AC21 portability anyways; if you prefer to stay at the current employer you are able to do so.

Congratulations!

If you're in valid F-1 status and have not entered the US within the last 90 days there shouldn't be an issue adjusting status.

Unless they are a Canadian or Mexican citizen they are not eligible for a TN. Where they live is irrelevant.

That's fine. Her marriage to you just gets her an H-4, which doesn't convey much in terms of benefits. The amount of marriage fraud for an H-4 is pretty miniscule. Not sure what she'll be asked, but clearly she left the country after getting married so her intent was clearly temporary. No...

In the statute book, no. In the case law, yes.

In some ways, yes. In other ways AOS provides security that CP does not (AC21 portability comes to mind, as well as EADs for dependents). One should pick the scenario that best meets one's needs.

A Green Card is NOT a visitors visa. If she doesn't intend to settle in the US, she shouldn't get a GC.

Yes, but the challenge is going to be convincing the POE that you are going to leave after you get married to your US citizen fiance.

Your best bet is to move on with your life, and find someone else with better judgment. There are plenty of women in the world, and you don't need this kind of complicated drama. This won't be the end of it, I guarantee you.

What is a "quasi-dual-intent visa"?

Ouch. It looks like you did your homework and got caught by some bad circumstances, as well as EB3-Canada not being current for the first time in probably forever. I just wanted to make sure that you were sure that CPSA didn't cover your daughter, and it appears you are correct. I have a...

Why not? How long was the I-140 pending, and how old was she when the PD became current? So long as she demonstrates the temporariness of the visit and explains that she knows she can't get a Green Card if she overstays, there is a decent chance she can enter. The more times she enters (and...

Then you should be fine, especially if you do not file your I-485 within 90 days of your last entrance to the US. No. After several years. Just have your spouse and yourself file the forms. You don't need a lawyer for this, except for at most a document review.

Which is different from citizenship. No, it grants permanent residency, not citizenship.
