No one can tell you what will happen once you submit the the evidence. Just wait for the notice and submit the evidence. All you can do at this point.

I have a question. So i applied for my mother and father Dacember 5th. I have seen online that they have updated the dates that they have looked the documents but yesterday they send more evidence for my mother. I dont get it, i sent 8 documents, probably is because i sent too much and online says 5 documents. i'm waiting for the notice to be updated so i can read what s the evidence about. Both of their application are in Texas center. I wonder if i have the evidence and i upload. Will they approve it right away or will it dealay the process?

I have passed through the process so I have some suggestions and experiences to share and then a few questions as well .

EXPERIENCES : My daughter applied for me and my wife from North carolina in late 2017 under first preference as parents in one packet. She got RFE as they did not consider her birth certificaee valid as her name was not listed on it. We got to done through due process and sent it back in May 2018 in one packet. Going through all steps my wife's case went from USCIS to NVC and to Mumbai consulate and she got her Visa in Feb 2019. We contacted USCis for mine case repeatedly to which they responsed case being processed; then it slowly moved to NVC where it kept lying for so many months as someone has thrown it in a dustbin and forgotten about( like the Indian clerks do). On every contact they will say case under process. On being reminded about clearance about my wife's case with same document having been cleared long time back, they said we consider and process each case as unique. Finally I got my interview in Late October 2019. 

Since both my children are US citizens and my wife was in USA as GC holder , I was trying to settle property issues to move to US and booked my flight for 17th March as my visa was valid upto 29th March.But my flight was cancelled at the last moment and then lockdown came.

I contacted the US consulate which stated that a visa will be reissued on payment of the fee once embassy opens.

Then came the Trump ban which targeted the parents , strangely, from the first preference ccategory.How come parents most of them being Senior citizens snatch the jobs of Americans.

So here I am a senior citizen sitting alone in a India with all my family in USA.

Suggestions: Do not wait for the approval of the file of the other parent.Which ever parents gets approval , buy a ticket as early as possible and get into the US. 

QUESTIONS:

I have been told now the the filing of I 130 is online along with the associated documents and perhaps that is hastening the process. 

Is USCIS accepting new applications for parents despite the ban by Trump.

If yes, should my daughter file mý case afresh or wait till the US consulate in Mumbai opens?

Really pathatic situation . Why are you thinking to apply I.130 online afresh, when you have been told by the US consulate that your visa will be reissued on payment of the fee once embassy opens. However , your daughter is the best guide for you . Best wishes .

There is no need to reapply for the case from start when US consulate is telling you that they will reissue the visa to you.

I have a question. My mom's case shows that they need more evidence, it has been showing like that since thursday. I thought it was going to update in documents and read the notice what kind of documents do they need but the only thing that shows when i select the notice is some kind of error 503 or 500 smth. Should i call them, or it might come in the mail too?

I have the same issue since April 22... no letter in the mail and I have called multiple times and spoken with a tier 2 and tech support rep, all advice that I give it sometime. Another rep said they may have gotten what they wanted and decided to pull back on the RFE (that I doubt). I see it as a tech issue. But it is strange I don’t have it in the mail yet. Any word on yours?

Have you got the approval for Dad by now ? If not yet , will you be submitting info/docs to NVC right away for your Mom  or  otherwise wait for your Mother's approval and then submit info/docs for both together ?  How to ensure that the Interview for both parents is done on the same day .
