I-130 for parents?

[jc_colin 3]

jc, I'm printing the cover sheet and it looks almost identical to the AOS cover sheet same address too. The only difference is one says submit application for immigrant visa and alien registration with supporting civil documents and the other says affidavit of support. Same address...........

Good! I should have been more specific (For the AOS, it said ATTN: CMR AOS and for the IV, it said ATTN: CMR). Not that big difference.

One other thing i want to ask is can we send copies or they need originals?

Angkorthom,

You must send:

• Originals
• Photocopies of all originals
• Translations of any documents that are not in English

You want for the process to go fast. If you do not include copies, it's like you are asking for the NVC guys to make copies for you.

Thanks a lot JC, i'm gathering all the documents and its been rough since i'm not there with them trying to help out. When its says petitioners documents its asking me for:

1. birth certificate

2. marragie certicate

correct? So you are saying have originals and make a copy for them as well. Thanks again man..............

Angkorthom: thx for the headup. I asked my mom-in-law to make another orginal doc. She gonna go PP and have them make another orginal and seal it. I think back in when i did K-1, they just stamp on the doc. But now she told me that they handwrite and place a sticker seal on every doc. Oh, where are your parents live at, PP? mine in Kampong Chhnang

Hi! Can someone help me. I am planning to file a petition for my parents. How did you submit a proof of citizenship? Will my certificate of citizenship be enough for both application? How did you guys do it?

Any assistance that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Angkorthom,

No problem. We are here to help each in this long journey to reunite with our loved ones! I know how hard to gather these documents when a coming to a non-english speaking country. Sometimes, our relatives asked why they have to go through all this just for them to come here.

Yes, the petitioner's documents are:

• Birth Certificate: Original, Copy and Certified English Translation (if the document is not in english)
• Marriage certificate, if she/he is married: Original, Copy and Certified English Translation (if the document is not in english)
• Decree of Divorce (Divorce Certificate), if she/he has been divorced: Original, Copy and Certified English Translation (if the document is not in english)

Great, i have to get a birth cert for myself and translation. I have a US issued marriage cert so i'll just copy that for them. I'm almost there, i just need for my parents to send the civil docs and i should send this out to the NVC. Does anybody know if there is any fee on their end when they go for an interview?

Is that what you are looking for?

Hey JC, i just got an email from the NVC saying they are reviewing docutments blahblahblah and on the last page instructions i guess they are asking me to send in "iMMIGRANT VISA APPLIATION PART 1" and supporting documents. Should i just send them part 1 and not part 2 or both? Why are they specifically saying part 1........kind of weird.

Better to send certified copies of your marriage certificate. One certified copy for each of the IV packet. During my parents interview, US Embassy in Manila Philippines returned one of my certified copy of marriage certificate.

Your parents are only going to pay for medical fee for their medical examination. No fee for the interview since you will be the one to pay for that before you send the IV packets.

So send them orginal marriage certs? I think i have one only i have to get another then. Also do you know if i should be sending them visa application part 1 or both? They sent me a letter in my email saying part 1 with supporting documents.

Travessia,

A proof of citizenship can be either a copy of your passport or Certificate of Naturalization. DO NOT SEND THE ORIGINALS!!

[let-it-be 36]

Send certified copies of marriage certificate from your vital records county.

My parents filled up the whole DS-230 form. Had their signature (sign) Part I of page 2.

Left Part 2 page 4 unsigned, since they are to sign this infront of the consular officer during interview.

Send both Part i & Part II of your parents DS-230.

Hello Angkorthom,

I have received similar letter in the past. What you have to do is to send both parts of DS-230 (Part I - signed by the applicant & Part II - unsigned). In brief, the Part I (BIOGRAPHIC DATA) needs to be signed by the applicant (beneficiary) and sent along with unsigned Part II. After the case is complete & submitted to US Consulate, the Part II (SWORN STATEMENT) will be signed during the interview by the applicant (beneficiary). Ensure that you have all the supporting documents as well. If not, you will receive checklist for missing documents. Good luck!
