My question is in the State of NY;
My friend is an American Citizen and filed for his brother and it took years for it to be approved. Now, he is filing for I-485 and he is protected by I-245i since he applied before April 30th 2001 and his brother here in the US in December 2000. However, he has been here for 10 years and he only paid taxes for 2 years and it was long time ago. Will his application be difficult to be approved based on the fact he has not paid taxes for years?
Thank you.
