Re: daaughter submitted i-130 form

Here is the real answer that you're not going to get from others on here who just want to hustle for money:

Your daughter submitted an I-130. She should have already received a receipt back from Laguna Niguel (within 2 weeks) that gives an estimated date. Even then, that's the INS's estimate which is always too optimistic. Your question is incomplete because what status is she -- US citizen or only permanent resident? And who is she petitioning for? If she's a US citizen and she's petitioning for a parent, a minor child, or the husband, it's taking about a year for Laguna Niguel to approve the I-130. If she's only a permanent resident, things are taking about 4 years, believe it or not, for the I-130 to be approved.

As for her husband, I'm not sure what you mean by him being still "accountable for this." I think what you meant to ask is whether he's still an undocumented alien. Well, it depends how he and his mom originally came here from Mexico. If they came in illegally, and he hasn't done anything about his papers (such as getting petitioned by his mom or another family member), then he's still illegal. Your daughter could petition for him (and probably did) but he would have to go back to his country to get the green card once the I-130 is approved. If his mom and him had visas when they crossed the border and were inspected then he can get the green card over here through your daughter without having to go overseas.
