Legal Answers
- Q. Hi, I am a US citizen 25 years old, I want to petition for only my brother and not my parents, brother age is 20 years.
- A: The U.S. citizen petitioner must be over 21 years of age at the time that the Form I-130 is filed on behalf of the sibling. However, the beneficiary sibling does not have to be over 21 years of age.
- Q. immigration status through marriage
- A: Daniel,
I highly recommend that you consult with a qualified and experienced immigration law attorney before you proceed to request any benefits from USCIS. The attorney will be able to consult with you and provide you with professional guidance. If you decide to engage the attorney to represent you then the attorney will guide you through the process of requesting the adjustment of status with USCIS by preparing and filing the appropriate petitions and applications.
Good luck to you.
- Q. My son’s girlfriend is from China and is attending graduate school here to get her master’s degree. She would like to
- A: Your son's girlfriend can continue to seek out job offers and also her optional practical training (OPT) prior to graduating. She can also explore the H-1B status with a prospective employer.
As to marriage to your son, you did not specify the immigration status of your son. Without knowing that detail, it is not possible to let you know if she can apply for adjustment of status with USCIS.
Also, acquiring U.S. permanent status does not require her to abandon her Chinese citizenship.
