Hi Folks,

I haven't been on these forums for a while because I'm happy to say that my AOS went very well. I'm just waiting for the 2 years minus 90 days to be up so I can remove conditions.

Anyway, I have a co-worker who is from Indonesia. He moved to the US with his family when he was a teenager, and has been here on various student visas etc for approaching 9-10 years, I believe. He is now here on an H1B visa. His mother is a LPR and his sister is a USC.

He says that:

1. His mother cannot sponsor his AOS

2. If his sister sponsors him it will take 15-20 years (that's not a mistype)

3. It will be much faster for our employer to sponsor him

I say he should have his mother and/or sister sponsor his AOS, and it should take 6-12 months.

We bet lunch on it; does anyone have any input or website links that could help me out?!

Thanks,

Adam.

You need to buy him lunch

If he is married, an LPR mother cannot sponsor him.

If his USC sister sponsors him it will take 15 - 20 years.

If he is not married, the LPR mother could sponsor him, but it would still take 9 - 16 years depending on the country.

Yep you owe him lunch.... is best option is to get sponsored by his employer... even if his mother became a USC it would still take years for a visa # to become available to him... as for his sister well I think you will finf he will be nearing retirment by the time that one was available, unless of course the Government do what they wanted in the last reform bill and scrap that catagory all together...

Have a good Lunch.....
