Hello all, my first post here. =) thanks in advanced for any help you can provide.

This is the situation. I want to bring my step mother to the US. I'm a US citizen but the problem is that my step mother is not legally my step mother. (no signed papers saying that she is). There is no official paper from the Dominican Republic that confirm this, however she has been my step mother for maybe 15 years or more now and I'd like to have her here in the US.

I was reading that it would be easier to bring her as an domestic employee than to start a process to have her adopting me or something like that.

I basically need the right path I should take on this.

Thanks again for any help you can give.

How old were you when she married your father? Is she still married to your father?

Knock out the domestic employee, basically impossible.

What would adoption do, you are a legal adult (assumably) so that would soley be for immigration purposes which USCIS doesn't do)

Good luck

Without the ability to prove a qualifying relationship via documented evidence, it will be impossible to bring her here as an immediate relative.

YMMV
