Hello All,

Thank you for opening this post and helping me out. My mother filled I-130. She is a permanent resident in US. I just got a letter from the immigration office that says:

"The information submitted with the petition shows that the person for whom you are petitioning is not eligible to file an adjustment of status application at this time... Until the person for whom you are petitioning files an adjustment application or applies for an immigrant visa, this approved petition will be stored in this office. If the person becomes eligible to adjust status based on this petition, he or she should submit a copy of this notice with Form -I-485"

So why am I not eligible for adjustment of status? Will I ever be? How will I know that I am eligible?

This is confusing and USCIS website is not a great help. Please please please help me out here.

thanks,
John
 
What category of visa is it? What is the priority date? What country are you from? An LPR mom can only petition her unmarried kid. The categories are under 21 and 21 or over. Someone in these categories must be in a legal nonimmigrant status to file for adjustment of status unless qualified under INA 245(i) and that requires the petition to have been filed on or before April 30, 2001, or grandfathered before than date.

Track the Visa Bulletin for current priority dates being processed.

Your eligibility depends on your age, when the petition was filed (i.e. its priority date), when it was approved, your country of birth, and marital and immigration status. Provide all those bits of information, and we can probably figure out your eligibility.
