Hello, i'm new to this site and was hoping people with experience on this can help me. I just found my birth mother a few years ago and I am not a citizen of the US. She wants to visit me. I do not expect her to live with me- that is not the plan but just to help her get a visa. Is the form I-130 the correct one for me or is it just for wanting her to move here? She would like to be able to visit and sometimes for her work. I want to help her get a visa.

if this is the correct form I also want to ask if in line 17 I need to list all her other children (My step brothers and sisters) - i read maybe only minors? i only need to help her to visit and she only has one son that is minor.

Fist of all, who is the petitioner? Is she a US citizen?

Need more information:

- Does she truly only want to visit? If so, she needs a tourist visa for which she needs to apply herself. You can offer to pay for her airfare but cannot help her otherwise.

- If she wants to work/ stay long term, she needs either a work visa or a family immigration visa (ie I-130 form petition).

- You say birth mother- are you legally adopted by another family? If so, you cannot petition her. Are you a greencard holder? You must be a US citizen before you can petition her.

If you were legally adopted , especially if you came to the US because of that adoption there is NO path for you to bring your birth mother here . The adoption removed the relationship A visitors visa is hers to get and it is difficult for most people

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.
