The permit has expired already..will there be consequences because the permit was not turned back in? What is the best way to do the process fast, easy, and cheap?What is the process to petition of immigration for a parent?
Absolutely you can! Your mother considered as immediate relative and the waiting time for her green card is about 4month-1,5 year. Depends where do you belong. Go to this Website:

Whoever gave me the thumbs down I have a message for this person: GET EDUCATION ABOUT IMMIGRATION!What is the process to petition of immigration for a parent?
If your mother overstayed her visa then she has really made things more difficult for herself, immigration takes a very dim view of this. Is your mother still here illegally? Or did she return to her home country? To file to bring her to the USA you will need to fill out in I 130 form - if she is out of the USA you have to wait for that to be approved. Once it is approved you will be notified. If you mother is here in the USA you would file the I 130 and I 485 (adjustment of status) at the same time. Your mother can stay in the USA whilst this is being processed. Filing fee for an I 130 is $355, filing fee for an I 485 is $1010. Like I said I am not sure if you can file for adjustment of status if she has overstayed and is still here, as technically she is out of status and here illegally. She could be subject to deportation and a 3-10 year ban. You might want to check with an immigration lawyer to see what your best course of action is. If she hadn't overstayed things would be so much simpler for you.
File a I-130. Your mother has to leave the country. The wait for a visa is 11 to 22 years depending on her country of origin. Your mother can NOT stay in the USA whilst this is being processed.


This is the US government that you are taking about! NOTHING is fast, easy or cheap!
you need to be 21 years of age and file with USCIS http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/m鈥?/a>



the cheapest way is to do it yourself. but then you need to know the procedures and that is what is going to cost you. contact me and i can give you pointers.
