Visitor visa and FB green card appl

[username]

Hi,

mother of US citizen came to US on B1/B2 visa. While in USA, I-485 applied; and before approval or biometrics mother left USA.

A few months later mother wants to come back to US on same valid B1/B2 visitor visa.

Is entry allowed by CBP official at port of entry?

The biometric appt could not be kept and we have asked uscis for new date.

 

thanks.

I would first talk to the firm of Murthy before making travel plans.

Entering as a visitor with the intent to AOS is not appropriate.  She needs to remain  in her home until she receives notice that her GC is to be issued and then make travel arrangements.

 

As a USC, you - and yours - need top obey the laws including those you find inconvenient.

She has shown immigration intent with the I-485. An entry on visitor visa is very likely to be denied because of that.

The I-485 is abandoned with her travel out of the country, so the biometric would also not be rescheduled.

She would have to go through consular processing.

Obviously, you are not knowledgeable about these things. You should schedule a consultation with a good immigration lawyer.
