My daughter got married in Bangalore two years ago. Her husband had a US green card, and she got one too. Her green card expires on December 10th. She’s planning to get a divorce. Can she extend her green card even if she’s divorced? Can she do this from India?

Yes, she can apply for an extension of her green card even after divorce, as long as she meets the eligibility criteria. However, she can’t apply for an extension from India. She would need to be physically present in the US to file for an extension.

My dad, who’s from Lithuania, is planning to move to the US to care for my grandpa. He’s applying for a green card through the ‘Sons and daughters’ category. Once he gets it, he’ll need to live in the US for 5 years to become a citizen. I’m wondering if I can apply for a green card through the same category while my dad is still on that 5-year path to citizenship, or do I have to wait until he becomes a US citizen?

My husband and I are both 45 years old. He’s Indian, and I’m an Indian-American citizen. He has a daughter in India who’s 18 years old. I can only sponsor my husband for a Green Card. Once he gets it, he can sponsor his daughter, but she’ll be over 21 by then. If she’s married in India, how long would it usually take for her Green Card application to be processed? Also, how long does it typically take for an Indian child to receive a Green Card application after their Green Card-holding father files for them?
