Hello dear Immihelp forum members,
After having successfully gone through the immigration process for myself, I am asking for your help in my parents case.
I have filed an application for family based greencard for my father who is currently residing in Ukraine. We got to the point where our case was sent to the department of state, and we have appointed an agent (form 261). From what I understand in a few steps he will be interviewed and then issued a visa to become a permanent resident.
However, right now my mom is visiting us and helping with a baby. She came as a visitor in mid-November, and is scheduled to depart in May at the end of 6 month permitted entry for visitors.
We want her to stay, and I am considering to file i-485 Adjustment of Status immediately to have her status changed without having to leave the US.
I am concerned to go through two different processes, and I wanted to know if someone happened to be in the similar situation. Form DS-260 asks to list all family members that are immigrating, should she be listed? Should it be mentioned somewhere that there is another application being processed at the same time?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
