Interesting Case
okay, so my parents have been really worrying about our situation... like a lot more than they usually would. so if anyone could answer a couple of my questions would be a great help. my mom had her I-130 approved a while back under the F4 catagory (Brother/Sister of USC), shes the beneficiary and my dad and I are just tagged along for the immigration process. we are allowed to use the 245i for AOS in the future because we qualify...
1) when the time comes to apply for AOS, will we be penalized for overstaying on a B2 visa in the past even if we pay the fine (under the 245i)?
2) will there be a problem for us because we came here on a B2 and overstayed, then my aunt applied for us cause she had just gotten her citizenship?
3) my family and i traveled back once after we overstayed, the people at the POE never said anything when we came back in back in 2000. (we came here in 95 the first time) will our trip be a problem?
4) my dad once applied for asylum but didnt go to the court case because he was afraid he wouldnt be passed and be deported (dumb move on his part skipping his court appearance, i know) will that affect us in the future when we want to adjust our status here?
sorry a little long, thanks in advance
anyone think they have some insight on this matter? has anyone here recieve a GC by having a sibling sponsor them? thanks
Are you required to have an interview in your home country? If not, DO NOT LEAVE U.S. until your case gets approved.
I have a friend who is a USC, his mum overstayed in U.S. (entered by B-2 visa) for years. So he filed I-130 for his mum after he got his citizenship & his mum was later asked to have an interview at U.S. embassy in their home country. She flew back to her home country & attended the interview - her passport got a big stamp for NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER U.S. FOR 10 YEARS!

I think your friend made the foolish mistake of opting for Consular processing instead of Adjustment of Status...still though a ten year ban wow !
