GC process for parents after citizenship?

[akapoor]

Hello All,

As I mentioned before, my citizenship interview is coming up in July. My mom will be visting us in Aug/Sep on non-immigrant visa(B-2).
What will be the procedure to apply for her green card while she is here? Will be any different than applying if she was in India?

Gurus, please advise. Also, kindly let me know, if I am missing some documents that I would need for her.


So, far I have the following things for her.

1. Passport
2. PCC
3. death certificate of dad
4. Old ration card.
5. Service book (she is retired teacher)
6. School Bonafide certificate and
7. High school diploma.

I still need her local police clearance, birth certificate.

thanks all,
akapoor

There will be a much higher chance of rejection if she applies within the US, because a B-2 visa requires nonimmigrant intent and unlike multiyear visas such as F-1, the B-2 does not normally involve long enough periods of stay in the US that make it easy to get past the nonimmigrant intent issue (although some people are able to get away with it).

She should ideally seek a gree ncard via consular processing. Thus avoiding the potential issue of her intent being scrutinised.
