LPR with Mother in Canada

[keeshaloo 0]

Ive been a Legal permanent Resident for over 5 years. My mother has recently expressed a interest in coming to join me from Canada. She has lived there her whole life she is 62.

She thinks she can visit for 6 months and go home for a couple weeks and come back. I would rather her come for 6 months and we can pursue getting her a status here.

What should i do?..is it expensive? does it take forever? the fiancee visa I did was alot of work and time consuming I wonder if this would be for her too.

As for cost you would pay

$355.00

$404.00

$88.00

________

$847.00

The process would take you 7-10 months i think the montreal office has a long time to schedule appoints.. it's apinless process and interview will go smooth.. completed the same for my mom today.

IF you should submit the paper work on/after 11.23.2010 you will pay $420.00 instead of $355.00

I think there is a waiting difference depending if you are a naturalized citizen or a permanent resident. I know that is the case for filing the fiance visa, so I'm assuming it will be the same for this. I filed my citizenship first, and did the family visa after, just to make sure everything went smoothly.

Good Luck

What you should do first is spend $675 on becoming a US citizen.Your mom can visit like many Canadian snowbirds, until she really decides to stay in the US. Keep in mind, once she has a Green Card, she needs to live in the US and visit Canada, not the other way around.

I'm sorry... I Just NOTICED you hava LPR status... you're NOT able to submit an application for a parent... you MUST be

21 years or older

A US Citizen

if you should submit the N-400 for citizenship you can get an approved case say in 5-7 months
