Hello everyone! I am new to this site and I was wondering if somebody would be able to help me. My mom has been living with me and helping me take care of my 2 year old daughter. She has been in and out of the country for the past 2 years, she would stay here 6 months and then go home for 6 months. She has a 10 year multiple entry visa, and she has had a US visa since 1988. Last December 2004, we applied to extend her tourist visa for the first time, and we got an an approval in less than 2 weeks through the Texas Service Center. They gave her 6 more months, and her current stay will expire in June 2005.
I am eligible to apply for citizenship in June 2005 as well. However, it takes 15 months for Memphis to approve N400s. Knowing that it might be hard for her to re-enter if she goes home, I was wondering if I should just apply for a second extension, and let her overstay until my citizenship is approved. Or should I let her go home in June and make her risk re-entering? Would there be a problem for her?
My daughter was recently diagnosed with autism
and that was the purpose we gave on the letter requesting to extend her stay. Was this probably why her extension was approved right away? If anybody knows of a better way to make her stay here legally until I become naturalized, I would really, really appreciate it. Thank you very much.
