QUESTION
Is it possible for someone to get their greencard early?
Asked on Jan 03rd, 2016 on Immigration - Oregon
More details to this question:
For example, Tom's mother has petitioned years ago for her children to become permanent citizens of the USA. Tom has heard of a new immigration law which allows persons using a visitor's visa to travel to the US, consult a lawyer, pay $4000 and their plea for a green card will be fought in court. Tom is told that this process will take 6 months the most. My question to you is 'is this true?', 'Does this law exist?', 'Will I really get my greencard if I do what Tom did?', 'Is this legal?' I really need some answers. Please help me!!

There is no new immigration law that I am aware of allowing children who have been petitioned for to jump the line on their immigration based upon being in the US and paying money for the green card to be fought over in court.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.
