Give it a go then, you might as well. 

 

Good luck. 

Any idea on what papers and documents I should take with me? That is what I am stuck on. Do I need my taxes and do I need the joint sponsors as well?

Yes, take a completed I864 for you and also one if you are using a co-sponsor along with all the supporting evidence.  Also, bring a copy of your BC and your parents marriage certificate.  Basically bring all the information you submitted for your mother's petition.

 

Good Luck!

Hey guys,

I just want to know more about DCF in general. How does it work and how long does it take from filing to visa issuance?

I currently have the opportunity to do an emergency filing for i-130 for my father in Cairo and I want to know what documents do I need. The only thing they stated was a birth certificate and passports.

I want to know what happens after the i-130 approval. What paperwork do I need then? I want to take everything so he will have it with him when he has his second interview.

 

Any help/advice is appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Hi everyone!

 

This is an update. I went to Cairo in March earlier this year. They scheduled us an interview in May and they approved my petition on the spot. They scheduled my father's appointment for August and he has been approved!!! His got his passport last week and now he is on his way here!

Thanks to everyone who replied to my questions.

PS My mother also had her interview (at a different post) and was also approved! They received their passports on the same day lol. So they will be arriving here together. I'm so happy that 2 years of stress is finally over!
