Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas

Approved I-130 Petition

My friend received an approved I-130 petition to become a legal immigrant in 1994. She didn't know that action was required on her part and has been living in the US illegally since 1995. I checked her status at USCIS and it states that in 2004 she was mailed a notice that her petition for CR189 to remove conditions of permanent resident status had been approved.

What does she have to do now to legalize her immigration status?

Re: Approved I-130 Petition

She needs to continue with the process towards becoming a citizen. Filing and approval of an I-130 is only the first step in helping a relative immigrate to the United States. Eligible family members must wait until there is a visa number available before they can apply for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status to a lawful permanent resident.
