[julian david 0]

hello, my question is, my family and I arrived 8 months ago to US, my mother met an american who made all the procedure to bring us, He will be sending all the documents in these days for our residence, but my question is, what do I need for a permission to go back to my country for a few days? how much It costs? I'm already over 18, I will thank you any information

Normally, you could travel with Advance Parole (free with your Greencard application) but because you have waited 8 months, you need to wait until you have your Greencard.

You can leave the US right now if you want. There is nothing keeping you from leaving. The problem will be if you try to return to the US without advance parole (AP) or your green card (GC). Since your Mother met and married a USC I will assume she was granted a K-1 visa and I will also assume you came on a K-2 visa. Did or has your Mother filed for her and your AOS yet? If not, you need to have her do so. You will then need to wait for the GC if you want to return to the US. You might want to look at this page to see what you need to do.

Good luck,

Dave
