As per form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative

1. If you are a U.S.citizen you must file a separate Form I-130 for each eligible relative. You may file a Form I-130 for:

A. Your husband or wife;
B. Your unmarried child under age 21;
C. Your unmarried son or daughter age 21 or older;
D. Your married son or daughter of any age;
E. Your brother(s) or sister(s) (you must be age 21 or older);
F. Your mother or father (you must be age 21 or older).

2. If you are a lawful permanent resident of United States, you may file this form for:

A. Your husband or wife;
B. Your unmarried child under age 21;
C. Your unmarried son or daughter age 21 or older.

thus only your momcan apply for you after she becomes an LPR

by this end my answer

Good luck

Is Minimal Living An Act Of Selfishness?

From George Bush to Barack Obama, from Tony Blair to Gordon Brown, from Jean Chretien to Stephen Harper, every leader has, in one way or another, urged us to spend more to save the economy, to create jobs, to make the nation strong.

Minimalism teaches us that we should do without.  Environmentalism guides us into using less of nature’s resources, and to protect non-renewable and renewable resources alike. Survivalism demands that we eschew the excess of society and government, and rely on more primitive lifestyles.

Clearly, the urgings of governments are at odds with the “isms.”  If we are to rely on the wisdom of collective society, then, we should heed our government, not our urges and isms.

Let us examine the paradox of using less being selfish. If we stop using energy, then the earth is not being depleted.  However, if we stop using energy, then new research into alternatives will not be needed, and jobs will dry up.  If we stop using energy, the cost-per-unit to produce for others will increase, and they will suffer, because of our decision.

If we consume less food, we deprive growers, processors and retailers of their livelihood.  At the same time, cost=per-unit, again, will increase, placing a burden on those that do purchase.

If we get rid of one of our cars, we’ll save gas, and wear and tear on roads.  But, for every 18 cars, one job is created directly, and four others indirectly.

If we opt to downsize our homes, countless tradesmen will suffer, not to mention lawyers, real estate agents, repairmen, etc.

If we choose to do without government programs and assistance, countless politicians will experience a sense of loss and abandonment, while bureaucrats will slowly become extinct!

And think of the loss if we choose to barter, grow our food, help each other instead of relying on social networks, learn to enjoy having less but experiencing more! 

I choose, though, to live minimally.  Instead of using and abusing, I leave, for others, the responsibility and burden of consuming too much, living too large and asking for too many rights.  My right is the right to waive my “entitlement” to waste, and, if I am displaying a selfish attitude by so doing, that, too, is my right.  There are too many in need for me to believe that rights are granted to me to take extra food out of the mouths of the poor, clean air out of the lungs of the sick and frail, and the right to share in the world’s resources from those that treat this world with respect.

I, indeed, suffer from one, if not all, of the isms.  And I’ll proudly wear my badge of selfishness.

Can I still apply for my green card?

I have lived in the States since 04/02 and am an asylee. I read on the immigration website that I can apply for my green card a year after the asylum is granted. It has been 3 years since my asylum was granted and I have not applied yet, because it is so expensive. Am I too late to apply now?

Ask a Mexican. They can get you anything you want in America!
