Hello I would like to know how can I star my green card process I have my son who is 22 year old.

I assume that you paid the $1000 in connection with establishing your ability to adjust status under §245 (i) as that is the only provision in the adjustment process with such a fee. That provision allows adjustment of status to an otherwise ineligible alien as long as that person is able to establish that he or she had a labor certification application or immigrant visa petition pending by April 30, 2001, and was physically present in the U. S. on December 21, 2000. Unfortunately you will have to pay the amount again as the $1000 is not reusable.The only way to avoid repaying the fee would be as part of a request for a fee waiver and the filing of Form I-912.  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.
