Hi everyone!

My father was an illegal alien for like 15 years or more, it was only recently that he got his green card (2011). He filed me a petition f2a pd: october 17 ,2011.

Will his history as an illegal alien be a ground for denying me an immigrant visa?. Also, i haven't seen him since i was only 1 yr old when he left, so we have no pictures together.

thanks in advance! :)

nope, it wont be ground for denial.... that is not a requirement, the birth certificate will be one of the important proof you should have... hmmm i wonder how old are you know? i hope you will be 21 and below at the time of the visa approval

His illegal alien past has been forgiven if he is a greencard holder now.

However, you guys not having seen eachother for so long may be an issue. How old are you now? Did you keep in touch during the time apart? Is he on your birth cert? Where is your mom in all this?

not really an issue but your case will be converted from f2a to f2b, just search that on the net.... just dont get married and tell your father to remain a green card holder coz once he become american citizen it will be a long wait for you

sounds like you will be just fine since it seems there is an on-going relationship though you had not seen him over those years.
