Ok this is confusing me...does anyone know whether Minnesota even has a "long form" BC???

The one we got when James ordered his wasn't wallet size but I can't recall whether it stated info about his parents..........

So in short-

does MN have to forms of BC's ???

Thanks

As I recall Hubby got a paper BC about 5X7 with all the stats on it...Mom and Dad's name, date, and place of birth, etc. It wasn't as impressive looking as my LF BC, but that was the only one they gave out and it was fine with the powers that be. You just have it go to the office of the county that he was born it to get it.

good luck with it

I wasn't sure if NY has the long form or short form either, so I sent in whatever form I had (front and back), along with a copy of each and every page of my current US passport (including the cover). I haven't been approved just yet, so I hope that is sufficient.

MN birth certificate is a typical one like other states. If James wants more copy(ies) of the birth certificate, he can contant the local county office (Vital Statistics Department). Yes, it is about 8.5"x11". As long as it is issued from the local county office, I would not worry about its size. The copy of the birth certificate is enough proof of US Citizenship.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview

What is the difference between the long and the short? Is it just the size of the paper it is printed on or is there a difference in the information included?

I submitted mine and it was on a half sheet of paper but it included all the pertinent information such as both parent's names, city of birth etc.... It was issued from Washington County, MN.... No problems whatsoever...

YMMV
