Petitioning for my mother to come live with me in the United States

[Teck-Tock 3]

Hello Visa journey family!

Oh boy, it has been almost 7 years since last time I was here before I even gain my first temporary green card... 

well, I'm a proud American citizen since 2015 and now I'm in the process of bringing my mother to live with me in the United States . I filled the application and filed all the affidavits of support needed and all proofs that she is my mother and that I'm filing my taxes regularly every year.. then I received a letter from the NVC that I need to re-submit the affidavit of support again because I filed an expired form, so I went ahead and did so, now I have been waiting since they received the corrected "non-expired" forms for 2 months and 4 days now! 

After that being said, I have few questions: 

 

1- how usually does it take for the NVC to review the case before sending it to the  embassy here in Cairo? 

 

2- my mother has a bad history with the American embassy here in Cairo because she went to America before with my dad and she gave birth to my little sister there , not only that! But also my dad over stayed and broke his B1/B2 visa since 2001 till this moment! My mother tried to renew her visa after it got expired in 2005 and they refused the renewal 3 times!! Will this story affect my mother during her interview for her green card even thought she is separated (not divorced) from my dad and that I'm her naturalized American son ? 

 

3- last question, is ther anyway I can attend the interview with her ? 

 

Thank you

You just have to wait for the NVC to give you another correspondence regarding the filled affidavit of support. Sometimes it can take more than 60 days especially if there's a backlog which happens quite often. You should check regularly though at ceac.state.gov to see if the option for you to apply for your mom's immigrant visa has opened. Regarding your mom's previous B2 denials, this shouldn't affect her IR5 visa because it's a completely different category and an immigrant visa as opposed to her B2 temporary one. She will be fine provided she has no prior overstays long enough to trigger a ban which may make her inadmissible without a waiver. Her relationship with your dad isn't also going to be an issue even if she were divorced. IR5 immigrant visas for parents of U.S citizens are quite easy to get requiring mainly proof of relationship which is easy to establish. Moms have it even way easier than dads when it comes to this category because of the fact that they gave birth to the child. Dads normally have to prove a little extra that they were involved in the U.S citizen child's life.

  There is a remote chance that is she used aid to pay for the hospital to deliver they will deny her visa until she repays her bill.

How were expenses for the US birth on a B2 paid for?
