QUESTION
Does collecting social security without status sound plausible?
Asked on Jul 03rd, 2014 on Immigration - Texas
More details to this question:
My father-in-law has been sponsored for status and has waited sixteen years with no progress. He's now 76 and no longer working but cannot claim social security. Someone at the SS office told him if he moves back to Mexico and takes his SS paperwork to the US Embassy, he could get SS payments (cut by 30%). We'd much prefer for him to stay here and hope he finally gets the status he's waited so long for but he is thinking this is his only retirement option.

Sixteen years is an unusually long wait unless he was sponsored by a US citizen sibling. You should have an attorney look into whether there is a problem or another faster method.
