if you have filed form I-130 for both of your parents, please kindly list of all the documents that you sent along with the form I-130. i have been reading this forum and i'm really confused on what documents are needed to send with the form. some fellow members are saying that form G-325A and photos are needed to send with the form, but when i read the instructions, they are only needed when you are petitioning your husband or wife.
if you have filed form I-130 for your Mother and Father, please write down all documents that you have sent with the form.
for Mother..........
for Father...........

thank you all in advance.

I have filed Form I-130 for my mother recently. I have attached my birth certificate, my naturalization certificate and my marriage certificate as proof of my last name change(not sure if this is needed) and also a check for $355.
You have to file seperate I-130s for both of your parents.
The following link has clear instructions

Please share any more info you find on this whole process, since we are in the same boat.

Thanks.

There's a very nice guy in the Canada forum (my brother) who filed for Mom and Pops, and did all the data gathering. His name is IR5FORMUMSIE - contact him.

Hi,

I am also planning to bring my mom over to USA as soon as I get my naturalization. I know I have long way to go before I reach there. But I want to be prepared when the time comes. Kindly share the document list and whatever you can on this topic.

Hi, I am far from where you are at right now because I am just starting my journey to the US, my visa just got approved recently, but I am interested to know if any of you have ever tried having your parents file for a tourist visa in going to the US to attend your wedding? Because I would like my parents to attend my wedding in the US, so I am thinking of having them file for a tourist visa. But I dont know how that goes, and I also know that a tourist visa has about a 50% chance of getting approved, so I mean, is that even a good idea to have them file for a tourist visa? Or will that just be a waste of money? Is a wedding invitation enough of a guarantee for approval? Does anyone have any idea? thank you very much.
