I-130 and Aos on visitor's visa

[ihsaan]

My family has a 10 yr multiple entry visitor's visa. While they're here can I file the I-130 and Aos for them. (does this allow them to stay etc due to the fact who knows how long it will take etc)

NO. if they are entering the USA with the intention of adjusting their status, that would be fraud. The visitor visa is for NON immigrant visits.

how

How do I go about it ? How do I apply for them ? Do they get I-130 or AOS in their country with the consulate?.....I dont intend any fraud but just to get them here legally. Thanks for your replies "PraetorianXI"

well, i don't know what's behind of all this, but all you asked was if you can file or can not.

YES, YOU CAN file.

now, will they get GC?? that's a whole different thing and who knows.

is there a risk? yes, there is. they (immigration) may think your family came here with the premeditated intention of immigrating to this country and abused of their visitor visa.

proceed with caution, and better yet, hire a lawyer.
