We have filed an I130 petition to bring my husbands (who is a green card holder) 17 year old daughter over to the US (I am the petitioner and a US Citizen) - the biological mother has given her consent. However there are issues that concern us (child safety concerns) and our daughter may wish to leave her bio mothers home in the UK and move in with other family while the I130 is being processsed.

If our daughter moves out the bio mother may no longer be willing to cooperate with the proceedings - would our 17 year old daughter require her bio mothers presence at any interview in this case?

Advice appreciated, though (and without wishing to sound rude) preferably no best guesses.. situation is complicated enough :(

hi

her father, the petitioner can be at the interview, but still, she needs the mother's consent to leave the country,

she needs to be accompanied by another adult as well, he needs to sign a notarized letter I think

try to get along with the mother, without her consent she won't be able to come since she is still a minor

Thanks for the reply.

I was the one that filed the paperwork - so I assume that I am the petitioner.

We are trying to get along with the mother but she is not at all level headed, our daughter is having trouble with her. At what age can our daughter do this without the need for her bio mothers cooperation, 18 or 21?
