Does any one have information on this subject:

My mom lives in Bulgaria and we submited the i-130 (NOA1 June 17th), SHe is eager to travel and see her grandbaby and is worried of the long wait. She has a 10 yr valid visitor visa (exp 2021), Can she come to the US on her visitor visa and can we finish the aplication process from here and get a change of status? Or do we have to start all over?

I would appreciate if someone has understanding in this subject to give me informaiton.

thank you

as i understand... yes she can come here in the USA of her visitors visa.. while her papers is on the process... i don't know how long she is allowed to stay here in the USA for visitors visa.. if ever she will be given to stay here for 5 months she need to exit then come back again... just don't over stay here in the USA so that it won't be a problem later on..

good luck
