Answer 1

I think all immigration should be stopped until we get all the illegal immigrants rounded up and dealt with. That goes for their children who are questionable citizens (their loyalties are questionable). When we have the US Attorney General attending the Hispanic Leadership Conference, we have to question his loyalty to the USA as well. His position is to be one of law enforcement, not promotion of hispanic politics.

Answer 2

If a person's father is a U.S. Citizen by birth, and the person was born abroad, then they have the option to request a U.S. passport; here's the link http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html.

If a person's father is a NATURALIZED U.S. Citizen, then he can file an I-130 application for his children to initiate the process; the link is http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD.

Once the I-130 is approved, the children of the U.S. Citizen are put on a waiting list and become 1st preference (F1) if they are single or 3rd preference (F3) if they are married (this information is available on the visa bulletin-the link for this month's bulletin and visa classification is http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_3169.html.)

I should mention that there is an exception to the waiting list for underage children. However, as this is not part of the question I will not be elaborating on this subject.

Now, while on the waiting list the children of U.S. Citizen are NOT entitled to a social security card nor Permanent Resident card. They are not entitled to a work permit either. There are exceptions such as when a previously filed application for a work permit (I-765) was or has been approved. However, I am not making the recommendation nor encouraging anyone to file any applications without the assistance of legal counsel as filings can be considered "frivolous" and one can be put into removal or deportation proceedings.

Now, how long a person waits will depend on their country of birth. See the Visa Bulletin for the monthly updates- the link again is http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_1360.html. A person could be on the waiting list for many years before they are eligible to file for Adjustment of Status or Permanent Residency (Form I-485 with supporting documents.)

For your mother's case, your father may file an I-130 on her behalf as well. The form can also be located at www.uscis.gov under "immigration forms." You can read the instructions that includes photographs needed, fees, and supporting documents for this process. After the I-130 has been filed there are two common routes. One route is the I-129F where your mother enters the U.S. in K-3 status (not permanent residency) or the second route is to wait for the approval of the I-130 and file for consular processing abroad (the instructions arrive from the National Visa Center after the approval of the I-130.) The filing of the I-129F for K-3 should be discussed with an attorney as the processing times for the region can be longer and cause delays.

From what I understood your sister and mother are abroad. Therefore, the paperwork needs to be filed and approved in order to have their immigrant visas granted and before they can enter the U.S.

Again, I should mention that you and your sister could be on the waiting list for many years before you can even file for permanent residence.

Prior arrests, tickets, and filings of applications need to be disclosed to your attorney. As to what you should and should not do, which route to take, which forms to file or not file, I would check with a qualified immigration attorney as immigration laws and procedures are constantly changing.

You can find an immigration attorney by going to www.aila.gov (acronym for American Immigration Lawyers Association).

Answer 3

Your question is not clear!
If your dad is a US citizen then you are also a US citizen by birth, that's the LAW,
so what are you talking about u want to be a resident?
Is this your step-dad?
Are you refering to a guy who is a US citizen wanting to marry your mom?
Be specific, what do you really want? then we can help.
I suggest you remove this question, and be a bit more specific as to family relations and what you are thinking of doing.

EDIT: If you "dad" and "mom" are married and If you are referring to filing 129-F that will only work for your mom and any of her kids who are under 21, which I can only guess why you said you are 28. If your sister is under 21 she can go on your mom's I-129's....
Like i said before, more info please, or just call the dang immigration office.

Answer 4

Have your father file an I-130 Petition for Alien Relative for your mother. As for you and your sister, you did not give enough information. How did you enter the US? Was your father born in the US or did he naturalize?

Answer 5

This site is where you go to fill out forms for citizenship.
http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis
It has all the forms and fees for it. If your dad was a U.S. Citizen when you were born it will help your application.

Answer 6

Go to the immigration office and get in line like everyone else. That is the only legal way.

Answer 7

DO IT LEGALLY, OR TELL THEM TO STAY! WE DONT WANT ANYMORE ILLEGALS!
