Can I apply for citizenship if they are questioning my mother's marriage to my step father?
Asked on Mar 28th, 2014 on Immigration - Texas
More details to this question:
My mom married my stepfather 10 years ago and was able to petition me. I've been a resident for 5 years and she's been one for 8 years. Now they're questioning her marriage was not in good faith. Does that affect my immigration status?

If USCIS is able to successfully revoke your mother's lawful permanent resident status due to marriage fraud, it may also affect your immigration status because you received it on the basis of your mother's marriage to your stepfather. However, there is a 5-year statute of limitation on actions for revocation of residency status if the status was received through the adjustment of status process.

If USCIS finds that your mother's marriage was not in good faith, then it t could affect your residency. USCIS could move to rescind your mother's residency, as well as yours.

It could affect your status if the government tries to revoke your mother's status.
