do I need to go back to Poland to get my green card?

If you are under 21 and unmarried, your U. S. citizen father may be able to sponsor you for permanent residence and you may be able to adjust your status to permanent residence in the U. S. If you are over the age of 21, you would not be allowed to adjust status here and would have to go back to Poland to get your green card. Marriage to an undocumented immigrant would not give you the right to adjust status and your father would then have to petition for you under the F-3 category for married sons and daughters of U. S. citizens which has a backlog of approximately 11 years.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
