Should I apply for my mother's green card
Hello,
I am a US permanent resident, currently awaiting call for interview as a part of the US citizenship acquirement process. My father is presently visiting us in the US on B2 visa. He plans to stay here for 3 more months (his visa expires mid-April, 2017, but his I-94 stamp is valid thru October 2017). In the meanwhile, my mother is in India and her B2 visa, too, expires mid-April, 2017. She has been to the US 4 times in the last 10 years (She always left in less than 6 months stay in the USA, so we assume that she has not "abused" B2 visa). When my mother applied for renewal of her B2 visa at Mumbai, India, she received 221-G white slip with a request for interview (no additional documents requested). My parents are married. My mother is self-employed in India and can show ties there (work/property).
Here are my questions:
1. If my mother attends the 221-G interview and her B2 visa renewal is rejected, and then we might consider applying for her green card. Would the rejection of her present B2 renewal cause any issues in her green card processing?
2. Is it advisable to leave her 221-G interview pending (she has a year to appear for an interview) and then apply for her green card consular processing? If she does not appear for 221-G interview, would that cause any issues in her green card processing?
3. Where can we check the latest known timeline for US consular processing at Mumbai, India for green-cards for parents of US Citizens?
Thank you much!
