I live in Canada too, you neighbour, Alberta. I have 2 kids, 7 & 4.
Hi all US moms,
I have some questions to ask about the green card.
My brother-in-law (hubby's brother) apply the green card for my mother-in-law. She went to visit him last summer (Jul03) and now returned to HK for an interview for the US green card. I just want to know how long will it take to issue the green card to her, and if everything is smooth, I mean body check up or documents ok, what will be th next procedure. Does she need to go back to US to take the green card, and after the issued of the green card, does she have to stay in US? I am just curious and thanks!
Sorry for translating your name like that because I cannot type Chinese.
It's not my mother it is my hubby's mother, that means, my hubby's brother (her son) apply for you. I just want to know if it is the case (she stays in the states she will get the green card easier, right). Then, she will be in the North America area, and is very close to Canada compared with HK, she may have chance to come to Canada more easily and I don't want this to happen!!!
She is holding HKSAR Passport lor, they have a plan, my brother-in-law apply for his mother, his mother apply for her daughter (my hubby's youngest sister who is now in HK), and her daughter apply for her son (now 2yrs old). Is it complicated? I don't know whether they can succeed their plan. What I worry is my mother-in-law will have need to stay in the States for more time and then, we will need to visit her more frequently because they live in Texas. Last summer we went there for 2 weeks, its was so hot, you just don't want to step out of the car or the house because of the air-conditioning. May be I am used to the cold weather in the north.
Thanks for the site. I don't need that detailed information because I just want to know roughly the time and the procedure, because last time over the phone she told my son that grandma will come to visit him this winter and go hay-ride with him in Christmas. Oh, taking care of 2 kids is already busy, and I don't want to entertain one more people in the house.
小肥佬,
My hubby is a christian. I believe in God too, but not the same like he does. Anyway, we talked about the problem too, after we died, probably we will ask our daughter to bury us together in some public grave yard, you know, not the one for christian or strictly catholic! but.. who knows the future...
My hubby was talking to have my daughter baptism (am i spell it right?) too, I agreed with him. I am afraid my daughter without religion background will go wild. However, she may go wild just like nowadays teenager, you cannot control no matter what! hope this day will not happen to me! It will break my heart!
Calgary,
wow... that's a really long plan... well.. tell u, i think that probably will take forever! it's not difficult to apply a green card for your mom-in-law. But from her to her daughter that will take forever... and her son too.. 10 years? may be?
i have green card for 2 years and waiting for my permanent green card, and i have already stayed in USA for 4 years, and i married to an US citizen. If your brother-in-law is just a greencard holder to apply his mom to come, it takes another 2 years, and then she needs to get greencard takes another 2 years, and then she applys her daughter to come 2 years, 2 years to get that green card and then apply her son, another 2 years! totally 10 years! I may be wrong, but you know, INS is not the most efficient organization on the earth! And i don't even know whether you can have a conditional green card holder to apply your relatives. I always think that I got to be US citizen to apply my family to come here from HK.
I have 2 boys oneis 4mths and the other is 3 years old. How's the weather over there? There is soem shower to day in Vancouver.
