change of status from H2B visa to Green card through family based immigration..

To provide you with some background info, as you may already know the H-1B visa only allows for a maximum stay of 3 years unless there are some extraordinary circumstances. Additionally, if you get your mother to file for your green card it will not by itself give you valid status to remain in the U.S. while it is pending.

Accordingly, it is advisable that you speak with an immigration attorney about your situation to fully consider your options.

I apologize for my typographical error in the above post, I meant to write H-2B visa but accidentally wrote H-1B.
