[mee-me 1]

Hello everyone, im just now trying to make everything ready for my husband's parents to get grren card, they are out of USA in there country. So im little confused, all I need  is: 

• Form I-130  (535 USD all together?)
• A copy of your birth certificate showing your name and your mother’s name
• A copy of your Certificate of Naturalization or U.S. passport if you were not born in the United States

 

that is it? I don't need form I485 and others? whats next steps? can someone pls guide me if the topic was discussed before with the instruction. thank you very much!!!

Is your husband a US citizen? If yes, he can petition his parents.

 

Just separate i130 for each parent for now, that means separate fee for each one. Parents marriage certificate is also required if petitioning for his father.

 

Once i130 is approved after lots of months, then NVC process and finally the visa interview process. No i485 process. You can see read the guides in this forum. 

 

May be around a year or more of total time till they get immigrant visa.

1-4 is good, add his birth certificate that shows his mom’s name. Items 5-8 Not Required.
