More details to this question:
My mom overstayed her visa but she left to her country over 20 years ago, and hasn’t been back since. I am a us citizen (over 21). Would I face any hardships sponsoring her for a green card?
1 ANSWER
A foreign national who overstays their visa and then exits the country may face a 3 or 10 year bar depending on how much unlawful presence they accrued. Since mom has been out of the US for more than 10 years, you, her adult US citizen child, can now sponsor her for her green card.
