Re: Daughter (US Citizen) wants to Petition Mother

More | Report Post

You should have no problem filing a visa petition (I-130) for
your mother. While she was not legally allowed to work while
here on a tourist visa, the fact that she paid taxes is a
good thing and in the end, it should not adversely affect her
situation.

Our firm handles all immigration law related matters. Should
you wish to consult with us further, please do not hesitate
to contact us.

Thank you and best wishes!
