My mom just got a letter saying that the petition my uncle (her brother) filed for her had been approved. She is protected under 245i because her petition was filed in March 2001. My questions are: What does this approval mean? I'm confused because I don't understand how her petition got approved if there is not yet a visa available for her. She is from Mexico and the priority date for people from Mexico is April 1995. Does she have to wait for a visa to be available in order for her to get her permanent residence? Can she go ahead and apply for a work permit? Sorry if I'm asking dumb questions, but I'm just confused. Thanks.
it jus mean her application got accepted, and u have to wait for ur immigrant visa numbers, and no she cant get a worker's permit. U could say its like being added in the wait list
