Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative was approved as of May 2024. We are beginning now on Form I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence and Part 1, Section 25a asks "When I last arrived in the United States, I"
My mom entered illegally from Mexico -- she did not pass border security or receive any stamps on her passport. There is an option to select 'Came into the United States without admission or parole,' but I am worried that will disqualify her from getting permanent residency.
On Form I-485 Instructions, it says, 'Unless applying under INA section 245(i), most Form I-485 applicants must submit photocopies of documentation showing they were inspected by an immigration officer and either admitted or paroled into the United States.'
Does anyone have any experience with this? And if it will disqualify her application, is there anything we can do? Could we go to border security and legally re-enter to satisfy this requirement?
