1. What To Do With My Aged Out Son’s Case?
My mother is a U.S. citizen and she applied for F3 visa category for my family in India – priority date august 2004. Our case got approved in June 2010 now mine and spouse visa is approved but my son born in 7/1987 has been aged out after paying his visa fee of $325, his biometrics and medicals were also done. Then on the day of interview, they said our son is aged out. My spouse and I have got our visas. What can be done in my son’s case?
Mr. Lee answers:
I will assume that the US consular officer counted correctly and that your son has indeed aged out and cannot immigrate with you and your spouse. You and/or your spouse can file an I-130 petition(s) for him as soon as you enter the US with your immigrant visas. The waiting time is approximately 7 years during which your son should stay single as you would be petitioning for him under the F-2B category for unmarried sons or daughters of permanent residents over the age of 21.
2. What is the Fee for Removal of Conditional Green Card?
I want to know how much it will cost me to file for the removal of a 2-year condition on a green card.
Mr. Lee answers:
An I-751 application to remove the conditional basis of residence status currently has a fee of $680 payable to the US Department of Homeland Security. If you are inquiring about lawyers fees, those vary from attorney to attorney and also depend upon the complexity of the case. You may wish to make an appointment for consultation with an immigration lawyer.
3. I Have a Felony and Would Like to Fix Papers for My Mother. Is That Possible?
Mr. Lee answers:
Assuming that you are a US citizen, it should be possible for you to sponsor your mother even if you have a felony assuming that you fulfill all of the other obligations associated with sponsorship including relationship and financial support.
