Hello everyone -
I am trying to help a friend. Here is the situation:
She is a US Citizen but has lived in Mexico for most of her life. She has a US passport.
She is married to a Mexican national and has two children (under 10) who have lived in Mexico their whole life.
She would like to move back to the US with her family. They are currently in Mexico
1)She should be able to apply for a green card for her husband and get approved in relatively short period of time, correct? No visa limits, etc?
2)She is being told her children can not become citizens becaus even though she is a US Citizen they have not lived in the US. So the children would also need to apply for green cards. Are the kids 1st priority? For Mexico that would be 08OCT92.
3)Initial plans were to do I-130 for everyone and consular processing. Husband should get approved quickly but children would be a while. Is there a way for them to move to the US while processing completes?
Am I missing something?
Thank you everyone.
