Hi,

 

About 3 weeks ago I filed I-130 for my dad. My dad is a Canadian Citizen and has been living in Canada for the past 40 years, and prior to that he was living in Afghanistan. A few days ago, I got confirmation that I-130 is approved without asking me for a payment (I did not pay anything) and now it's moved onto the NVC stage. The NVC portal says I already "paid" and its because he is an Afghan national. Is this how it's supposed to be? Or did USCIS make a mistake? Because in the I-130 form I put he is a Canadian citizen living in Canada. I am worried that this will delay his application.

Is he actually an Afghan national? Or did he just live there and never have citizenship?

Yes he is an Afghan national, born in Afghanistan.

 

Then why do you think USCIS have made a mistake? He's an Afghan national and has a visa immediately available to him, so he should qualify for the fee waiver. If you're not sure, then double check it using the fee calculator - https://www.uscis.gov/feecalculator

Hi 

My husband has been living in England since he was little and was born in Afghanistan. I just submitted his I-130 yesterday and our form was $0 too. He’s lived and been a citizen of the UK for 21 years now. Any updates on your case? I am nervous about it
