Is it a bad idea to adjust status after a tourist visa renewal?

The 15 year-old sister...is she with you, or in the US now and if so how did she enter?

She is along with her, came in different flights some days apart with tourist visa

So the sister is now immigrating after arriving on a tourist visa then....separate flights, you say?

 

I suppose that's why your mother was suggesting you do the same thing---that makes sense now, in her mind, I guess.

 

I'm not judging you or your family here..but I really think you're playing with fire.  Please please please don't attempt anything illegal.  At the very least, it's not worth risking your studies over.

Not really, she arrived along with a friend of hers, because she had to finish the high school term.

I won't do it, the time it takes to adjust status really hurt what I had in mind, and I also read that visa fraud leads to a permanent ban, which is a no to me. I don't even mind that I probably will never get a green card, I guess I will have to wait and see

Right.  But she was supposed to return to her home country on a tourist/student visa, not stay and adjust status with her mother...that was my point.  If your sister was pressured to do it, as you are being pressured to do it, and crossed the border knowing she was going to stay and adjust status as well---that was visa fraud.

Doesnt matter about the sister now, she's already in the USA.

 

How has your mother become a green card holder?

I mean, she was being pressured at first, she probably still is but she trusts my mom way more than I do, and really likes it there

She hasn't, she will file all she needs (485, blablabla) as soon as I make up my mind.

[NikLR 13,227]

So how is she becoming one? Did she marry a USC or LPR? Im unsure how she qualifies to adjust her status?

Why not call your Sister and ask her what is going on?

ok....

 

If your mother believes that she can file for a GC under her own merits of just being in the country and wanting to stay...she is gravely mistaken.  Your other thread, you mentioned that she had gotten a GC through "possible marriage"...so is she married to a USC or permanent resident?  Is she married at all?

She's going to waste a lot of money, but it's  her choice. People are free to choose how they spend it. I-485 is going to get rejected right after they cash the check for over a grand.

I am really sure she is gonna get it through marriage, if she gets through it all I'm gonna congratulate her and if she doesn't I'm gonna drop the 'I told you so' on her

Yeah she basically sold out her stuff in order to get enough funds for this whole situation

I'm rather glad you've made up your mind not to commit visa fraud.  Best of luck to you in your future endeavors.
