As an american citizen, you can file a petition for your mother here, you do not have to travel anywhere.

You must first file a petition for alien relative, and once it is approved, to file for green card for you mother.

You can contact our firm if you need further assistance.

Re: petitioning my mom

You can petition for your mother while you are in the United States. Once the petition is approved, then she will go to the Consulate in the Philippines to get her green card with which she can enter the US.

If you have additional questions regarding the process, please do not hesitate to contact me.
