Adjustment of status for a visitor visa

[Nyam3 0]

My mother has a one year visitor visa with multiple entry that expires in June of 2024. She came in to United state on September 26 2023 and she been here three getting to 4 months . It is late for me to file an AOS for her because i want to start the process ASAP. And what forms do I need to file first Form I-485 or Form I 130 or file both at once. and how much for the whole process

Do not forget AP and EAD, the whole package.

I-130: $535, I-485 (including forms for EAD and AP): $1,225 and a medical exam: probably around $400-500 (this depends on what the civil surgeon charges in the area).

Thanks, do I need to file EAD and AP , even when she won’t work during her stay here.

Yes. EAD allows to apply for SSN, get a DL or state ID, it’s a form of ID in itself. AP because life is unpredictable. You never know when you’ll need to leave a country for an emergency back or what have you. Both are free when filing concurrently with I-485.

What do you mean by "during her stay here"? You make it sound like she has no plans on moving to the US, only staying briefly?

Since she won’t work, hopefully you understand that she won’t be eligible for social security, and when she becomes eligible for Medicare (after 5 years), it will be at the full cost.   You’ll need to have a plan to cover her health care costs in the interim.
