Legal Question in Immigration Law in Utah

Re: Status

It depends on when and how mother became a US citizen, if anything was ever filed for the foreign national in the past and the foreign national's current age. You should consult with an immigration attorney to discuss your immigration history and mother's immigration history to determine your eligibility for immigration benefits.

Re: Status

If you originally entered the US legally and have proof of it, you could technically adjust status through a close US Citizen family member (parents, spouse, for example). Based on the facts presented above, your mother could file a petition on your behalf, however, we would need some more information regarding your case. Feel free to contact me in private if you would like to discuss your case further. We offer free initial consultations to Law Guru users. Good luck!
