Answer

Hi, and Happy New Year,

In answer to your question, if the daughter has an A-1 visa which is issued to permanent residents, the daughter can move out and live anywhere she wants. In fact, even if she is present in the United States on a valid B-1 or B-2 visa, she can live wherever she wants. Therefore, the mother cannot withhold any of the daughter's personal belongings.

Kind regards,
