Legal Question in Immigration Law in Illinois

Re: devorced but presently unmarried daughter

Yes, a green card holder parent can sponsor his unmarried, but divorced adult child. This is called the Family 2B category. Depending on the nationality of the beneficiary, the waiting period is between 9-17 years. If the sponsoring parent becomes a US citizen while the Petition is pending, the processing time may speed up.

Feel free to contact our office to schedule an initial consultation to discuss this in more detail.

Re: devorced but presently unmarried daughter

Dear Inquirer:

Yes, you may petition your divorced daughter for a green card. Such a petition will fall under the Family Second Prefernce. Depending on your daughter's country of birth, the wait for a green card for her will be approximately 12-35 years. You can check out the "Visa Bulletin" at www.state.gov for the waiting period for family-preference visas.

Please visit our website at www.hanlonlawgroup.com for more information or email [email protected] if you would like to schedule an appointment for a confidential consultation to discuss this matter further.
