My father passed away and my mother is visiting us right now. This is her 2nd visit.
Her visa will expire on 12/27/2008.
Her I-94 will expire on 9/8/2008 (Her entrance date was 3/8/08)
I have GC and the citizen interview will be on 8/18. I would like my mother to apply her GC after my citizenship.
My mother would like to fly back China on 9/8.
If I have my oath in December, she will come back before her visa expiration date (12/27).
My concern is if she can get her I-94 at the Customer since she already stayed US for 6 months and her immediate visit is after 3 months stay in China.
Does she need to stay longer than 6 months and re-apply visa? My mother is old and I don't have siblings so it seems a burden for her even with ZhongXin's help.
Another option is that we try to visit Canada before 9/8 and hope she will get a new I-94.
The concern is I am not sure when is my oath since I waited for more than 2 years for my citizen interview due to the name checking.
Please help us judge the options. Thank you!
