One reader asked:
My brother is a U.S. citizen (10 years). My mother 72 years old this year, has held a green card for two years. I am 40 years old, divorced. I ask you:
First, I applied to American identity who is better?
Second, the family status in the United States to help me during the application, I can not come to the United States to visit relatives in China can only wait? If waiting, then at least a few years?
Third, I can switch to student status in the U.S. before school, waiting for family to help me apply for American identity?
A:
First, the brothers and sisters of citizens apply for immigration to the United States, is now scheduled in April 2000. Green card for their unmarried adult children of immigrant parents to the United States is now scheduled in July 2003, so we think you will apply your mother a little faster. But the disadvantage is that once you get married in the other waiting period, your mother for you to submit an application to set aside the immigration. It's hard to say you in the following eight years of waiting for a long period you will not get married. If you apply for your brother, this problem does not exist, no matter whether you are single, so waiting to, if you are already a family man, your wife and children can join to the United States.
Second, if your family for you to submit an immigration visa, your application will normally visit because you have "immigrant" and was rejected.
Third, you can apply to the United States to go to school, then your family then you apply for immigration. But you wait until the exclusive period during which you must maintain a valid status in the United States, once the "black", and waiting until you arrived, you have in the United States illegally because the offense can not stay in the United States to adjust status.
