Rio Grande, NJ Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Reentering the U. S. on an advance parole instead of H-1B is not a permanent choice. The individual holding an H-1B status can simply go outside the United States and come back in using the H-1B visa instead of advance parole the next time. And so you can go overseas and have H-1B and H-4 stamping for yourself and your wife before your I-485 is approved.

This process is generally done by way of a filing of the petition for an alien relative along with an application for an adjustment of status if your mother is in status in the US. If she is out of status there may be other ways to do it. It may be that she requires a waiver. The filing of the waiver is a separate analysis that needs to be undertaken as part and parcel of this process. The complete analysis should be undertaken before papers are filed on her behalf.
