As an aside under Obama's amnesty plan millions who have worked illegally will benefit.

is Obama's amnesty effective soon? Do I need to file a special waiver to avail of the amnesty?

I petitioned my mom first to avoid complications. She is already here in US as LPR. I plan to file I-130 for my dad in a few days. Edited by gil-n-joy

Hi guys,

If there's no misrepresentation as a US citizen, in this case, will a waiver be needed for I-130/I-485 concurrent filing? I'm in the process of adjusting my dad's status here and I am a US citizen. He entered legally as a visitor and overstayed. Although he worked without a permit, he has never committed any fraud, such as faking a SSN or misrepresenting himself as a USC. He just worked in a private home and got paid cash. He has been paying his taxes with an ITIN number as a nonresident alien. So my question is, will he need a waiver like I-601 for his I-485 application? Can we just submit his application without any waiver(s)? Many thanks in advance!!!

Hi. What's the status of your petition for your dad? Did you file I-130 with I-485 without waiver?

UPDATE: Last Nov.2015 my dad received his permanent residence approval. Interview was quick and easy. The questions asked were admin-related, mostly for paperwork completion.

My dad has successfully adjusted status. AOS approved for PR last Nov. 2015. Easy interview. No hassle.

Misrepresenting that he's a US citizen is never forgiven. It's automatic denial.

You may want to rethink going alone without a lawyer when this level of mispresentation is involved.

UPDATE: My dad got PR approved last Nov. 2015. Didn't need a lawyer at all through the entire process. Interview was short and mainly addressed admin matter.
