Need Advice

[rmflippered]

Hi, I have a couple of friends who need some help. One is a US Citizen, and is married to a permanent resident. They applied for visas for her children and her father (I-130). The kids were approved but her father was not. Apparently her husband can't petition him because father-in-law is not immediate family, but she can't petition him either because she is not a citizen. Is there any other forms they can file or any other way they can get her father here? Thanks!

This is a tough one - I would have to assume if he applied for a B Visa he would probably be rejected as well given the overall intent in this case. Honestly there are several lawyers who offer free consultations - that could be a viable option.

Good Luck

Right you are, Joe. The application for a GC will almost preclude issuance of a B visa. It would not hurt to apply but the applicant must be certain to answer all questions absolutely truthfully.
