h1blogger Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) My mom currently has an B1/B2 visa valid till 2024. She has previously entered the US multiple times for visiting on this B1/B2 visa. I was planning on submitting a green card application on her behalf. The processing time for green card for parents of American citizens is currently about 1 year. Since this is a shorter time frame for processing, I have the following questions: While the green card is being processed if she enters the US on the B1/B2 visa, will that delay the green card processing since it takes only 1 year for parents? Will there be any issues entering the US on the valid B1/B2? If we start the green card processing while she is on a visit to the US, does she still need to exit US after the 6 months period based on the B1/B2 visa? Or can she stay here until her Green card is processed? If we start the green card processing while she is on a visit to the US on the B1/B2, & she exits the US within 3 months of entry, will that cause a delay or hinder the green card processing?
