  1. Thank you so much @OldUser and @Dashinka! My due date is August 3, 2024. My mom left the US on July 8, 2023. As @Dashinka mentioned, she can come back to the US even within July 8, 2024 to my due date? It would pass her one year mark of leaving the country. But she already has the reentry application. She gets so bored if coming here and has nothing to do, just waiting for the baby to be born lol :)) I am considering time to book a flight for her! Thanks so much again for your time!
  2. Dear amazing Visajourney community, Happy new year to you all! My mom has a US green 10 year green card. She applied for I-131 Reentry Permit on 02.17.2023, and got her biometrics done on 03.21.2023. We haven't heard anything or received any reentry approval permit document from the USCIS since then. She flew back to our home country, Vietnam in July 2023 and is living there since then. Since I will give birth in the summer, my mom plans to come back to the US before my delivery to help me here. Do you guys know if it is okay for her to come back to the US when she hasn't got her reentry approval? I heard it may take 2 years to get it. Which documents will she need to show the Home Land Security at the airport to get in the US? She only has her green card and the receipt of I-131 biometrics. Thank you so much for your help!
  3. Dear amazing Visajourney community, I wonder if there is any faster way to bring my brother + his wife (both born in 1992)+ their daughter (5 years old)+ their son (almost 1 year old) faster to the US under immigration visa: - I opened the I-130 for them since Dec 2019 (brother of US citizen). Based on my research, it will take from 10-15 years to get processed. - My brother +his wife+ their daughter passed tourist visa to visit me in the US recently. They just visited me and came back to Vietnam 3 weeks ago. After this trip, they love living in the US and would like to find a faster way to move here. My mom is an US permanent resident. My dad already passed away. We have such a small family, just my brother and I. We really hope to reunite in the US faster. My mom can't speak English, so the chance to wait for her become an US citizen and sponsor my brother's family is very low, esp her income is very low, too She was born in 1964, waiting for her to get the citizenship test in Vietnamese will take a while. We don't think we can rely on her to sponsor my brother and his family. - I think about EB3 visa but my brother has a Master and his wife has a bachelor degree. It seems like they are not unskilled workers. Do you have any ideas about this case? I am thinking about checking with the Attorney for: -How much it costs? -Can they guarantee that my brother's family can immigrate to the US faster? How long is the wait? Thank you so much for sharing your input about this topic! I love this community so much. You guys have been helping since day 1.
  4. My mom is an US green card holder. She moved to the US on Oct 2022 from Vietnam. She missed home so much, and wanna go back to Vietnam until I give birth to my baby. (Which we are hoping in 1-2 coming years). So on Jan 2023, I applied the reentry permit for her I-131, Application for Travel Document so that she can stay in Vietnam for 2 years, and no trouble for coming back to the US. She got her biometrics done on March 2023. We have been waiting and no further information from the USCIS so far. I did some research and it may take a couple of months. Is it okay if she comes back to Vietnam on July 2023 before receiving her re-entry permit I131 approval? My brother is coming to the US, so she wants to go back to Vietnam with her. She doesn't speak English at all and scared of long flights by herself. Thank you so much for your help!
  5. Hi, everyone. I am trying to apply for re-entry permit for my mom. She has 10 year green card and would like to travel outside of the US for about 1 year. After researching, I found the form I-131. It says that I can file online or send mail but I can't file the online link at all. I will have to print out everything and send to USCIS Mailbox center? Thank you so much!
  6. @Crazycat: Thank you so much for your prompt and supportive info! You brightened our day by telling me that she will receive her 10-year-green card, really save us some paperwork 🤩 And I will do more research on keeping her residency, extremely important! @boiler: When she can take citizenship in her native language, I will help her to take the exam. Meanwhile, we will have to renew her 10 year green card.😁 " 1. Age and Residency Exceptions to English An applicant is exempt from the English language requirement but is still required to meet the civics requirement if: The applicant is age 50 or older at the time of filing for naturalization and has lived as an LPR in the United States for at least 20 years; or The applicant is age 55 or older at the time of filing for naturalization and has lived as an LPR in the United States for at least 15 years. The applicant may take the civics test in his or her language of choice with the use of an interpreter. "
  7. @Crazy Cat Right now, the government stamped on her passport visa "Upon endorsement serves as temporary I-551 permenant residence for 1 year". We are still waiting for her plastic green card since I paid $220. I haven't seen it, so I am not sure how long it will be valid. I assume one year. Then we will have to renew it by submiting I-90 for her 10 year green card. Please enlighten me if I am wrong Thank you so much!!!
  8. Good morning, this amazing community!! My mom just entered the US under IR5 visa on Oct 22, and waiting for her plastic green card. (She got her social security card after only 1 week hooray!!! 😄). I think she will get her 10 year green card after I renew her one-year temporary visa on her passport (Plan to apply by July 2023). Do you guys know after she is granted her 10 year green card, can she live in the US and another overseas country (for example, Vietnam) ? I assume that she will need to live in the US longer (7 months) and shorter in Vietnam (5 months), for example. Also, they will deduct the total time she wasn't in the US when she applys for citizenship? Thank you so much for your help!! Have a wonderful day!!!
  9. Hello, everyone! I am so grateful for each of you to spend time on meticulously reply to my mom and I whole-heartedly. This community is so amazing and helpful!! It really warms my❤️ My mom entered the US successfully. The USCIS didn't even open her brown sealed envelope and told her that they will send her paperwork to our address . Hopefully, her green card and social security card will come home soon so that she can open a bank account and work next month. The guidlines you guys sent us was so helpful!! I wish you guys all blessings, joy and luck in life! You all are such kind people!!
  10. Hi, guys. My mum was approved IR5-visa with I-551evidencing permanent resident for 1 year. Do you know when I will need to renew her visa? 90 days before expiry date? And the form to apply is I-90? After that, how long will her new green card be valid for? (like 10 years?) Any condition beside not going overseas outside the US for more than 6 months? Thank you so much!!!
  11. Thank you so much for all of the info that you guys have shared. I just paid for my mum's fee of $220 today. I entered her Alien registration number and IV case number correctly and carefully. Then I got a confirmation receipt that I paid but for an IOE case number that I have no idea. Then I entered her Alien registration number and IV case number again. It said that this person's case fee was paid. I hope everything was fine since I am at the airport right now with her, waiting to fly back to the US tonight. Also, do you guys know upon arrival, how long can she receive her social security card upon entering the US for the 1st time? I already chose "yes" for applying her social security card when I filled in DS260. Can she work with a valid I-R551 (valid for 1 year) but without her social security card? Love this community!! Thank you again for your support!
