    Yes, she is prepared to stay here for as long as me and her grandchild need her.

    Thank you for being kind in your response.

    Yeah I have no idea. My mom is retired so she was just here a lot spending time with us but it helped me out a lot because I’m a single mom. The officer said she was going back and forth too much and she should consider filing for stay. So after I picked my mom up from the airport, we talked about it, worried that she might be denied entry again, and we decided she should live here full time. At the time he stamped, that wasn’t our intention. But she would rather stay here with than stay away from us pending the green card. Otherwise id be screwed looking for full time care. She needs to be here with us. But now im worried she will get denied since so many of you view it as suspicious.

    I’m very confused as to why though? Is that not a good reason? When she last came, the officer at the airport said she was going back and forth a lot and suggested she file for AOS. So we did. She never planned on retiring here but we spoke about it and decided it was the best way forward. Did we do something wrong?

    I don’t believe the application asked for a reason. But why the laughing emoji? I thought this forum was to help people.

    Oh that wasn’t an option for me. She was going back and forth helping me care for son so ended up being here with me more than she was back in London. She is retired so it was possible for her and made more sense for our family.

    What do you mean proper immigrant visa process? That wasn’t proper of me? The additional $630 isn’t worth it to me. That’s a shame. Thank you.

    I filed the I-130 and I-485 for my mom while she was here on ESTA in September. I would like to plan a family trip for us in August 2025 but doubt her application will be processed by then. I did not file a I-131 with her I-485. Can I still do that now? What is the timeline? Is there a fee?

    She is adamant it’s unavailable from the UK. She’s also lived in several countries over her life. She thinks she can get antibodies testing so she won’t have to redo the vaccines. Is that sufficient? And it looks like she will also be forced to get the Covid booster and the flu shot on top of whatever else she might need for her age?

    We received an RFE for the I-693 for my mom. She does not want any vaccinations. She is so against it, she is considering dropping the application completely. Can she get a waiver from the doc on these grounds? The issue is it’s not like she’s never received vaccines. She got 1 or 2 Covid vaccines because it required for her work but generally is quite against them. She also can’t locate her vaccine records so if she’s required to get the vaccines, she might be getting some she already received. What are her options? Will she get denied if she gets a waiver (if even possible)?

    I filed my I-130 on 8/25. I just checked online and the myprogress tab says 5 months. I haven’t received a receipt for the i485 but the check was deposited on 10/1 so fingers crossed by mom gets at least an A number soon.

    I’m looking for a thread here for those who have filed the I-130 and I-485 for a parent who is already in the U.S.? USCIS (IL) received the I-485 on 9/25. I filed the I-130 online on 8/25.

    I meant marketplace sorry

    Yes Medicare was extremely expensive for me due to income. I used a broker and it’s actually better healthcare than my employer-based insurance. I have HMO though completely employer paid including deductible but still low tier. The one I just got my mom is PPO.
  15. EMBELL_17
    Because she is in my household, she does not qualify for Medicaid because of my income. I do intend on getting her her own home in 2 years so she should qualify then. For now, we are going private with United at $350/mo premium, no deductible but it is conditional so it’s reviewed and renewed every 2 years. If we did auto renew, I would be paying about $500/mo at $5000 deductible but it would never be reviewed or reconsidered.

    When my husband did it for me, my financial condition did not matter. My understanding is they care only the sponsor’s finances.
  17. EMBELL_17
    I am sponsoring and I am well over the poverty limit chart. My mom needs to show her assets back in the UK? I wasn’t aware that was a requirement. She owns a home but her goal is to live here in the US with me.
  18. EMBELL_17
    Yes it’s something we think about often. Currently she is using private insurance but it expires soon so we have to figure out our next move. It is very expensive but having her here saves me on childcare so if pretty much just be pumping what I save back to her health insurance. I just want to know what’s more cost efficient. It sounds like private is the only way until the 10 year wait is up.
  19. EMBELL_17
    I meant pay into Medicare my understanding is if she works for 10 years and pays into Medicare she can qualify for premium free part A Medicare. I understand we will be paying a hefty amount until then and we are prepared to pay it. We definitely have considered it but haven’t made the decision but I’m sorry that you think we are irresponsible. Either way she’s been going back and forth for over a year so we need to file or they won’t let her back in.
  20. EMBELL_17
    That is my biggest concern. I haven’t dug into this issue enough. I’m thinking I could hire her as my nanny so she can pay into social security otherwise we will have to go private or buy into Medicaid. I haven’t sat down and gone through the numbers. Do you have any suggestions?
  21. EMBELL_17
    It asked me to fill in my income for all 3 years but only requested me to attach most recent year transcript. Thats no problem through. I’ll add 2022 and 2021. Thank you!
  22. EMBELL_17
    The instructions said I only needed one for the most recent year. I need the other years too? And yes it’s a transcript!
  23. EMBELL_17
    Oops sorry. All these different numbers and forms! Thanks!

  25. EMBELL_17
    I am pretty sure I don’t qualify for anything. And my mom will be living with me. Does that mean she will not receive Medicare benefits once she reaches 65? Suppose I hired her as a live in nanny and paid her for her services - could she pay into social security that way?
