mnabil1 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Hello, I am in a process of becoming a US citizen, I am done with my Naturalization Test and Interview now just waiting for my Oath Ceremony Letter from USCIS. I have heard that it sometimes take a longtime to get your Oath done so I dont know when I will be done. My Mother has visited us 4 times here, she is still here with us these days but this time I want to apply for her Green Card as soon as I get my Certificate in the Oath Ceremony. Her Six months Stay will be expiring at the end of next month. 1. Do you think she will be granted a stay for another six months ? because I am just waiting on my oath ceremony I do have the document from USCIS saying that I have completed my test and interview and I have been approved. Please get back to me with answer or advice I would really appreciate it. Thanks ! Link to comment
jairichi Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Applying for an extension with out valid reason will lead to denial of extension. If she leaves after denial her visitor visa is void and it will be tough to get a visa to US. Link to comment
shekar11# Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Better for your mother to leave now and come back later for another six months visit. Why do you want to take the risk of getting a denial for extension and then risking her future visits to US. You are so close for applying green card for her. Don't take any undue risks now.

Thanks for your reply but since I mentioned in my original post that my citizenship is in process as soon as I get it I will sponsor her, dont you think it is a valid reason for extension ?

jairichi Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Your citizenship application status is irrelevant to your mother's extension on a visitor visa. And, Shekar11# has explained it more clearly the course of action to take. Link to comment
mnabil1 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Thanks for the advice Shekar11 !! Link to comment
mnabil1 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Ok Thanks ! can you also tell me what forms I need to file to apply for her green card ? Is there any other form except I-485 I need to submit ? Thanks Link to comment
mnabil1 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 We also cannot find her Birth Certificate what should we do ? Thanks Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 It would be prudent to file her I-130 and let her get the IV at the home consulate involved. If you become a citizen then you can certainly file her GC. In view of some of your questions I suggest using a LAWYER to do the heavy lifting. Link to comment
