The mother is married to an American citizen, and the son is over 2 1 year old. Can American citizens apply for a green card for their mother and son?

1. If you were under the age of 18 when your mother married this citizen, he can apply for a green card for you.

Otherwise, you need to make long-term plans.

=============

1. Let your mother apply for a green card first and become a citizen after 3 years; Then your mother applies to you and queues up as "adult unmarried children of citizens", and you can turn into a green card in about six and a half years. (* * * 9.5 years); Or your mother will apply for a green card as soon as she gets it. Queue for "green card adult unmarried children", about 8 years. (The premise is that you can't get married before you get a green card, otherwise you can only let your mother become a citizen and then queue up to become a "citizen's adult married child"-9 years)

2. Then you can get married and have children and transfer them to your spouse and children ("green card spouses and minor children" queue for 2 years, about 4 and a half years).

The above years are given according to the current queuing situation, which can be used as your reference. Things will definitely change in 8.9 years. If you are interested, please refer to the latest US green card schedule below.
