My parents are visiting US in early April on visitor visa.
Is it a good idea to apply I-130 & I-485 for them when they are here ?
Are there any AOS problems including I-94 expireation ?

Or CP is better when compared to AOS ?

Please let me know.
Thanks,
 
How many times the same questions can be answered? :confused:
How about some research before posting a question? :rolleyes:

Hi:

Research, research. In fact, you don't even need to do much of it. Another thread on the very first page discusses this in detail.

Applying for an immigrant visa for your parents is a better idea. Coming on visitor visa and filing AOS is illegal.

If it is illegal why that option is present ?
Is it mentioned anywhere ? Loop hole ?

I know many people do this. What are the statistics on AOS as visitor.
I mean approval, rejection, RFE, delay, ....

Any good explanation on this ?

Hi:

I have given several good explanations of this on this website. Use the search function and look it up.

I frankly do not understand your logic. Many things that are illegal are present as options - it is an option to go into a store and steal clothes. That does not mean that it does not or could not bring consequences. Also, just because your friends got away with stealing clothes, doesn't mean you will. Someone may get away with it, and many have, but I have seen enough cases rejected for this reason to know that there is a good chance of complications.

Why are you doing a cost-benefit analysis for something which is illegal? While it has its place in business and economics, it is not a good method for decision-making in the criminal context.
