Hi my mom became a permenant resident when I was 17yrs old. She never petioned me, now I'm 29 yrs old and wants to petioned me, my question is will they go by my current age now (29yrs) or will they go by 17 the age I was when she got her lpr????

Can anyone please advise on how to get the visa case number. i understand that you have to get it to know your priority date for a Family Based immigrant visa.

Thanks

I sent the concurrent filing materials for I-130 and I-485 through USPS priority mail on Dec.19th. These materials were delivered on Dec. 20th and signed by R. Mercado at Chicago USCIS PO box. I have not received any text or email about the case receipt number from USCIS yet. I submitted the G1145 form with those filing materials. I currently feel very anxious. Is there anyone in the forum who has the similar timeline with me? Or Is there anyone can let me know when can I get the case receipt number notification? Thank you in advance.

I just got approved for the family based green card. We are planning to send the waiver hardship letter because he EWI. He was brought over illegally by his parents when he was only 6 years old. Does this usually make for a strong case since he isn't the one that actually broke the law??

Hey guys,
My husband is a US Citizen and we are getting ready to adjust my status. However, I don't have any proof of legal entry since my parents lost my passport, visa, and i-94. This has been really frustrating because we have gotten different advice from different lawyers on what to do. The lawyer we consulted with recently said I could apply for advance parole which I am thinking about since my grandfather is sick back in El Salvador. I am scared to do that because even though I am currently under TPS. I have heard many people talk about the 3/10 yr ban. Is this something you guys would recommend? Or should I just apply to form i-102 to see if they can retrieve my i-94? I also forgot to mention that I overstayed my tourist visa but applied to TPS before it expired. Also, the only proof I have of legal entry is my mother's i-94 and a flight ticket. I was only about 6 when I came here.

I am Canadian citizen and now working in USA on E2 visa means legally and my parents are American citizen can they sponsor me to get geen card and what is time frame for all the process thanks every one

Hey guys,
hopefully you guys respond and share the same situation pls.
hope that everyone is doing well.
I am going to share my experience with you guys so you can give me some advice i'm hopping. I came to the U.S with a student visa, and i stayed in Boston for a little while then moved to Atlanta. anyway, i married my wife earlier this year in June. On August 30th I sent off my package to USCIS office in Phoenix AZ. I sent off the forms I-130 I-485 I-765 I-131 and some documents to prove that i am my son's father. Strangely the office in Phoenix sent me the package back on September 15th with a letter stating that I sent the package to a wrong mailing address, even though the of ladies from USCIS gave me that address. but, my wife and her mother resent the package to Chicago on September 17th of 2016. On Monday September 19th they received the package and posted it on myUSCIS website. So couple days went on, and on October 4h we got four notice letters with receipt numbers. On October 7th we got a notice saying that they have scheduled the biometrics appointment for October 18th at 1;00 PM in Atlanta. The day after my biometrics appointment I checked my status online and it said We mailed a request for initial evidence for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status.On October 28th my family got a notice on the mailbox saying they requested for Initial Evidences like my original birth certificate and my wife's tax return. So came as quickly as I could from Houston where I was getting some stuff from my consulate and we sent off what they asked on the 29th of October, and the USCIS supporting Center got the evidences on November 2nd of the current year. So the month of November went on.November 28th checked myUSCIS status online and it says: As of November 28, 2016, we are ready to schedule your Form I-485, Application to Adjust Status, for an interview. We will schedule your interview and send you a notice. As I have been noticing they only changed something on the I-485, and the other applications like I-130 I-765 I-131never changed their status since September 30th. My question is, how long does it take for them to schedule an interview ?? and why haven't these applications I-130 I-765 I-131 changed the status ?? I would appreciate it if you guys give me some help please.

Stay warm,
Rei,
