Green Card Through Family

Many people become permanent residents (get a green card) through family members. The United States promotes family unity and allows U.S. citizens and permanent residents to petition for certain relatives to come and live permanently in the United States. You may be eligible to get a green card as:

* an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen
* a family member of a U.S. citizen
* a family member of a permanent resident
* a member of a special category

There are two distinct paths through which you can get your green card. Many family members who are already in the United States may qualify for adjustment of status to permanent residence in the United States, which means they are able to complete their immigrant processing without having to return to their home country. Those relatives outside the United States or those who are not eligible to adjust status in the United States may be eligible for consular processing through a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad that has jurisdiction over their foreign place of residence. For more information on these processes, see the Green Card Processes & Procedures webpage.
 
my mother became a U.S citizen after she immagrated to the U.S from Italy at age 24, she than moved to Canada a few years later and has lived in Canada ever since. If she just recently got her Canadian citizenship would it impact my chances to get a green card or citizenship in U.S. ????

Was she a USC when you were born? Did she have you before she immigrated and left you behind? You have provided too few details at this point. What is your situation? Start with your birth....
