Question for ImmigAttyLana & Evcalyptos
What is the name of your state?NC
I received some advice from a previous post but I would also like your opinion. Could you review the following and give me your advice. Thanks
I have a friend that is a permanent resident. He married a Mexican citizen in 1995. In 1996, they both traveled to the US. He came across legally and she came across illegally. While they were here in the US, he filed an I-130 to petition for her visa. The TX visa center replied as follows: "The petition was approved. The petition indicates that the person is in the US and will apply for adjustment of status. The information shows that the person is not eligible for adjustment of status at this time. This petition will be store in our office until the person files an adjustment application or applies for an immigrant visa.
They had their first child in 9/97 and after the birth, his wife wanted to leave. They returned to their home country and she has since had 3 other children who are Mexican citizens. He added their second child to the petition and the childs paperwork is almost completed. My friend spoke to an Immigration officer and asked what he could do. Read word for word what the petition said. The officer advised to submit an I-485 application to adjust status because the wife was now back in her country. An I-485 was submitted. An notice of action for the application was received stating that the application was recieved and they would notify him when a decision was made. Later he received a duplicate approval notice stating that the petition was approved but would be stored in their office until she was eligible to file for an adjustment or an immigrant visa.
He has sent several letters to the visa center in Texas explaining the situation but he never receives a response. The second child's paperwork is almost complete. What is the next step to move the mothers file to the next level so that she can join her son when he is eligible to come to the US.
