How can I get my mom her citizenship papers?
Asked on Nov 09th, 2012 on Immigration - Texas
More details to this question:
I'm about to turn 21 next month. I was born in the US but my mom was born in El Salvador. I want to fix her papers so she can fly out and be able to come back. My mom has a working social security number and doesn't have a criminal record. The only thing that she has is that she has two different birthdays. She has one with her birth certificate and different on in her social. Besides that, she doesn't have any problems. I want to know what I have to do to give her papers and who do I talk to. Thank you!

If she entered the US lawfully, you can petition for her and she will be eligible to adjust her status to permanent residence within the US.

You should contact an attorney to prepare and file the case for you. That is the best way to alleviate any problems for if the case is filed erroneously and gets denied your mother can wind up in removal proceedings before the Immigration Court.

If she entered the US with inspection, you should be able to help her.

If she entered legally, no problem. If she entered without a visa, it's complicated but not impossible. If she entered illegally, the first step once you're 21, is to file the I-130 packet.
