    Default How Can I Help My Mother

    My mother has overstayed a tourist visa. I am applying for citizenship, but am not yet a citizen. How can she stay in the country? Can I sponsor her for citizenship?

    Default Family-Based Immigration

    Your mother would be well-served to speak with an immigration lawyer. You won't be eligible to try to bring her to the country as a family-based immigrant until you have citizenship.

    Default Deportation of Mother

    The USCIS has contacted my mother about her status, and I am afraid that she will be deported. I understand that she may be given the opportunity to voluntarily leave the country.

    Default Voluntary Departure

    Voluntary departure is a far superior alternative to deportation, which would likely result in a 10-year exclusion from reentry.

    Default Deportation of Mother

    Will the USCIS delay its proceedings until I get citizenship, so I can sponsor my mother as an immigrant?

    Default Deportation

    Your mother's status and your status are separate issues, and it is unlikely that the USCIS will delay your mother's disposition. Your mother would be well-served to consult with an immigration lawyer.
