Good morning. My mom who is 74 years old  just received Notice of Immigrant Visa Case Creation from The Department of State's National Visa Center (NVC). We are in the process of completing these steps:

 

 

  1. Pay the Immigrant Visa Application fee and Affidavit of Support fee through CEAC
  2. Submit your visa application form through CEAC
  3. Collect the required financial documents, police certificate(s), and civil documents
  4. Scan and upload all of these documents to your CEAC account

 

I believe only unmarried children of my mom under 21 years of age can be brought with her to the US.  I have a concern which is , I am already 38 years old, and just got married last year.

 

What is my chance that I go to the US , be a resident too, along with my husband and my baby?  Any suggestions and options would be  of great help.

 

Thanks..

Well your Mother would need to enter the US, wait 5 years, naturalise and then she can sponsor you and your family.

 

Realistically at 74 seems unlikely she would live that long.

I assume one of your mom’s children ( in other words, one of your siblings) sponsored her for the immigrant visa, correct? In that case, no, you can not come with her this time. There is a catagory for siblings of US citizen and the same sibling can sponsor you. Unfortunately, the wait for that is very very long, and for people from the Philippines, it’s very very very very very very very very long.

I wish her well.

Im asking also so we would know if we will proceed with her application process.. if it is worth the payment, and submitting the documents. If it would be quite impossible for the married children to be at the US, I am not sure if we will still proceed with the processing. But if an immigration lawyer can help us, we would be willing to pay..

Very brave to move at that age.

 

A fairly simple process, just a very long wait.

  If your mother comes to the US she would have to become a US citizen to file for a married child.  That would take at least 5 years ( she can file in 5 but it takes time to process and pass the tests  and have an oath )  Assuming that adult children visa is still available then , she could file after her oath,  which would make her about 80.  From the Philippines the adult child class is granting visas at the same pace as siblings.  Currently they are working petitions filed in June of 1995,  and the line is linger not shorter than it was then.  So your petition would be at the head of the line in an additional 23 years, making your mother 103 before you could come ( assuming she or you don't die first ) 

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

Hi kid1412.. Her sister sponsored her for the immigrant visa in 1995.

Wow, 23 years. Hats off to her. 

 

I don't know what to say. The answer to your question, as people pointed out above, is yes, but unfortunately, the wait for that is very very long, and for people from the Philippines, it’s very very very very very very very very long.

Thank you all for the realistic and honest feedback. This concludes that we will procees mom's application. It would save us time, effort and money too.
