Hello, ready to start this journey, but need some guidance
Story: Dad got deported 22 years ago, he left and they told him that he could come back 10 years later. Well he made a life there and now has a 14 year old son, and as he is 71 years old now, he wants to come back and see if there is a chance he can also get the green card for my half brother. He isn't married to the kids mom.
My questions are:
I know i have to apply for the I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) and the I-485 ( Application to register permanent residence or adjust status) maybe at the same time?
But what about form I-212- Application to reapply for admissions into the US after Deportation or Removal, is this necessary after 20 years, does this need to be done before the I-130 ?
And if we do apply for the I-130 and I-485, can he wait for his residence card in our country or he needs to be in the US?
And after he becomes a permanent resident(hopefully), can he petition for his son?
Thank you for your help
