Status of Parent

[JNL 13]

I am in the process of getting all the documents together for my wife and while doing so I asked about her mother's status, who is here in the US and has been since sometime the 90's. She didn't know and asked her and the reply was she is working with an attorney. I know she has a DL and SSN and greencard but not sure if it was a 2 or 10 year. Obviously there is something she keeping to herself and not telling us and now I am a bit concerned. WIll her mother's status come up during the process of doing the visa for my wife and if it does what will be the effects to us if she is out of status?

Yes on your form they asked where mother and father reside

What did you put and where were they living.

G-325.

I would make sure you include that her mother is resideing

Living in the US and give dates. Get A# and her green card

number and any other information you can. Be complete and

dont leav out anything. Her mother should have a 10 year

green card now it been to long in the USA to have 2 year

card. Actually she should have applied to be a US citizen

by now and shouldnt need a green card any more. Only need

less than 5 years to be US citizen.

Good Luck !

I don't believe that a parent's status can effect your wife's case since the two of you are legally married. I do believe that it is time for the mom to come clean with the two of you as to her exact status, if not for the CR-1 process then at least so the two of you will know. Good luck.

Anything can impact any case. Legal marriage is a requirement, not a guarantee of a spouse visa. Having family members in the USA often brings additional scrutiny to the relationship bona fides.

Citizenship is purely optional, so no "should have" only "could have".

I totally agree Pushbrk, that's why I made sure to mention it's time for the mom to come clean so the couple knows what they are facing. thanks for clarifying.

Have not filed yet so nothing has been put on the G-325A yet.

Maybe I am missing it somewhere but I do not see anywhere on the G-325A or the I-130 where it ask for anything other than parents name, birth place and where currently residing. Nothing about A# or green card.

Thanks, will take it under advisement. Agree with the should and could have as not all desire to actually want to be USC.
