Hello everyone,

i have a question for all the all seeing all knowing out there. As it turns out my step daughter is contemplating coming to the us getting her visa and green card but returning to live in mexico. Is this even legal? Does one have to prove she is in the country to receive the aos? if so doesn't she have to be enrolled in a us school to prove her residency? jeeze as i'm writing this it seems all too clear. can anyone out there reinforce my take on the situation? am I right or just full of it?

She will have to live in the US "most" of the time until she gets her US citizenship. If you adopt her when she gets here she can get her USC pretty fast.

K1 denied, K3/K4, CR-1/CR-2, AOS, ROC, Adoption, US citizenship and dual citizenship

!! ALL PAU!

Hi, what does "most of the time" means? my friends' kids are studying in the Philippines while their parents are in the US, they have green cards, so does the kids, but they (the kids) go back every 6 months to the US, will they be have trouble proving their residency when its time for AOS?

Wait, how did the kids got their green card if you said they are studying in the Philippines?? Maybe u meant the conditional 2 yr GC? For obtaining AOS for the kids, its the parents who files for them since i figure they are still under age, right? But its true that when filing for AOS, you have to be in the US in all the time of the process to show or prove residency.

Yeah, they first got their greencards then went home to manila as soon as they had it. Mom is a nurse. She was on employment visa when they first entered US.
