Re: immigration question.

An aunt or uncle can't directly petition you, but you might be able to be a derivative of your parent, if you're under 21 and certain rules apply. You might also be able to qualify in a different way.

Re: immigration question.

Dear Inquirer:

You are not eligible for any immigration benefit based on your relation to your aunt and uncle, under current law. Be very careful not to expose yourself to deportation proceedings where you would be ineligible for relief due to the bad advice of unscrupulous consultants and notarios.

I recommend that you email us at [email protected] or visit www.hanlonlawgroup.com if you would like to schedule an appointment for a confidential consultation to discuss this matter further.

Re: immigration question.

Your Aunt and Uncle are not qualifying relatives. An immediate relative, like a child over 21, a spouse, a sibling or a parent can sponsor you for your green card. However, if you entered illegally, you may not be able to stay in the U.S. to obtain your green card.

To discuss your specific case further, kindly email me directly at [email protected].
