I-601A Expansion went live. - Page 2

Hi,

I have one last question:

The following are the categories for visas:

FAMILY-SPONSORED PREFERENCES

First: (F1) Unmarried Sons and Daughters of U.S. Citizens: 23,400 plus any numbers not required for fourth preference.
Second: Spouses and Children, and Unmarried Sons and Daughters of Permanent Residents: 114,200, plus the number (if any) by which the worldwide family preference level exceeds 226,000, plus any unused first preference numbers:
A. (F2A) Spouses and Children of Permanent Residents: 77% of the overall second preference limitation, of which 75% are exempt from the per-country limit;
B. (F2B) Unmarried Sons and Daughters (21 years of age or older) of Permanent Residents: 23% of the overall second preference limitation.
Third: (F3) Married Sons and Daughters of U.S. Citizens: 23,400, plus any numbers not required by first and second preferences.
Fourth: (F4) Brothers and Sisters of Adult U.S. Citizens: 65,000, plus any numbers not required by first three preferences.


I'm 29 years old, parents are residents:

am I F2A or F2B?

F1 SECOND: "Spouses and Children, and Unmarried Sons and Daughters of Permanent Residents"
F2B : "Unmarried Sons and Daughters (21 years of age or older) of Permanent Residents"


Also, the visa Bulletin shows several categories with different dates, which one would I fall under?

Its quite confusing because there big differences on dates between the different categories.


Thank you

Guys i have a question

Would my sister be able to petition my mom under this new rule??

Sister 22 yrs old USC, mom EWI no criminal recs

Thank you so much everyone

F2B.

First table. Which country you fall under depends where you were born.

Doesn't have to be a I-130, it can also be an I-140, or I-526. The petition needs to approved and you need a current priority date.

To correct the actual process it's as follows:

1) You get an I-130, I-140, I-526, or play the green card lottery.
2) The petition gets approved or you win.
2a) If the petition category is backlogged then you have to wait for the priority date to become current.
3) You file the waiver using your qualifying relative (USC/LPR spouse/parent).
4) If approved, you depart US and undergo consular processing and pick up your immigrant visa from a consulate.

Thank you for your explanation. I'm from south america so my current priority date if I was to apply today under F2B is 08 JAN 2010. Meaning that it would take about 6.5 years before my visa is available.

1>Do I need the waiver if I came with Visa to this country?

On the other hand you mentioned I-140. Could my current employer ask for me while I'm with DACA.

2>What if I had a period of work with an expired DACA.

Is everything forgiven, my out status or work without permit when approved with the I-140. Is this when the waiver goes into play?

I work for a technology company (No degree) where I held a position that the company can't run without and its extremely hard to find.

3> and last question (I hope): Could I apply for I-140 and i-130 simultaneously?

Thank you, this really helps me head into the right direction. I want to be informed before consulting with a lawyer to prevent any abuse or misleading information.

Good point but what is the risk of applying for this waiver? What if it gets denied then what?

Good question.

What do you mean it takes care of the 10 year ban? While in USA?

Double post (please delete).

1) Yes. You need the waiver because you can't adjust status in US. You have to leave and undergo consular processing, which normally would trigger the 10 year ban, for which you need the waiver.

2) Working illegally does not trigger any bans, it will not be a factor when applying for an immigrant visa abroad.

3) Yes, there is no limit as to the amount of immigrant petitions filed on your behalf.

No.
Basically you cannot adjust status in US after living here illegally unless:
1) You entered US legally and are applying to adjust as an immediate relative of a US citizen (spouse of a US citizen, parent of a US citizen over 21, child under 21 of a US citizen).
2) You're covered under 245(i)

To get a green card via other means you'd need to leave US and attend a consular interview, however you leaving would trigger a 10 year ban, for which you need this waiver.

If 601A gets approved then how long does the the applicant stay out of USA?
