It depends on the status of the matter it is a case to case basis. If the mother is an american citizen it is faster for the daughter to be petitioned.

You can petition her as a fiance. It is probably best to get a lawyer. My husband is from Mexico and he entered the country illegally, we married here and I petitioned him as my husband, he had to pay extra and write a statement apologizing for entering this way. I chose to join him in Mexico during his waiting time (5 mos) because he was not allowed to leave his country. He is now living here as a permanent resident, he can work legally and in 2 more years he can try to become a citizen.

It's not difficult or expensive; just paperwork and filing fees.  Here is what he and you have to do:  after the petition is approved, it will be a few months if you can get your documents together quickly.\nhttp://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_2994.html

She can petition for you but in orderfor you to qualify for the visa, she must have established or began the steps to establish residency.  You cannot proceed her but you can go at the same time.

Yes you can petition for a green card based on the family-sponsorship. Borther and sisters have priority 4 (the lowest). Since there are more applications then actual visa available (there's a limited quota each year), the current wait time is about 10 years (not 2-3 like the other person stated). For mexican, chinese,indian nationals the wait is even longer ( due to high immigration rates). For Philpino people the wait is over 25 years !!!\n\nSo if you apply now your brother/sister will have to wait about 10 years for a visa number once your petiton is approved which is another 1-2 years... It is a very long time indeed..

Your questions is too vague.  I am assuming that you child is not a USC.  To file a petition for you child requires that you be over the age of 21.  Your American passport has no real play in this scenario.

What are these people talking about.  She will not get deported.  That would be considered cruel and unusual punishment.  The American government will not separate a mother from a child, and they will not kick out the child if he's a citizen, and she has cancer.  This has been taken to court several times and the courts always side with the defendant.  Tell her not to worry about her status, just to worry about her self and her kid.  If they do try to do something, the press will have a field day on this.  Tell her sorry about how things turned out, but this wont be something she would have to worry about.

Check with the Immigrant Visa Unit of the US Embassy in Manila.  They'll have an idea how long it will take once the petition is approved.

You can only petition family members.  If you were a citizen you can get him a fiance visa right away.

If you are a US citizen by birth your son is automatically considered a US citizen even if he was born in another country. If you are a citizen through immigration then you will have to immigrate him. The quickest way is with a lawyer. You will have to prove that you are financially capable of supporting him until he can find a job once he gets over here. The process takes close to 1 1/2  years for all the paperwork to be processed. Be very careful of the lawyer you choose if you do decide to get one. There have been many cases in which people have paid a lawyer to do their paper work only to find the lawyer was  scamming them.

I went through this, I’m from Lebanon from the date my husband (my fiancé back then) sent the paperwork till I got the visa it was 8 months. It depends on the state you applied in, some states handle a lot of immigration paperwork so it takes more time, like in TX but fortunately our paperwork went through a different state and we got off faster than expected.

The average time for applying for Naturalization (N-400) may take 6 months to 2 years, depending mainly on where you have filed your application.

It depends on what kind of immigration process you are in right now. Are you already in the US or still in your home country? Are you being petitioned by a family or employer? \n\nThe agency that processes your petition is the USCIS. Check their website at www.uscis.gov

When my brother and sister did theirs it took them a couple of months because they had everything already the only thing needed was the green card in their hands. However things have change and I would say it depends on which state they will live in because the more populated immigrant states take longer. As soon as they arrive have your brother fill out his selective service card (very important). They will be given the paperwork to get their social security cards and the steps to getting their green cards. I would say 6 months maximum for everything.
