Do My parents need eta visa traveling to usa with a valid 10 years visa through Canada

Hello all,

Firstly, thanks for all the help in last couple of weeks here, I feel like we are almost ready to apply and figuring out the payment stuff and lockbox locations and final evidence etc.

Our info: I am the beneficiary married to USC, adjusting from F1.

If my spouse applies I-130 (and I-130A) online after creating their own USCIS account, I understand I receive a receipt and submit that with the application.

Will the priority date be available in the receipt?

Is there anything else I need to fill out or update in any of the forms?

Thank you!

Hi lovely everybody peeps.....
Some of you may remember me(don't feel bad if not)....a quick recap & update ....

I'm originally from Scotland(I guess the name kinda gives it away lol) I came to Michigan on a K-1 visa to marry my wonderful husband....& 6 months after we married he sadly died....I wish I had a better story, really I do....however....I decided to stay & thankfully USCIS decided they would grant me a 10 year green card ......let me just state at this point that the support & assistance I received from everyone here helped me so immensely in both getting through the K-1 process & in obtaining my green card....

It's so hard to believe it's been 6 years(almost)....

Update:
I put myself through local community college to qualify as a Massage Therapist by working nights as a CNA in the dementia unit of a local care home, I've been massaging for the last 4 years & specialize in oncology based massage, post-op breast massage & have recently qualified in Manual Lymphatic Drainage.,.....
I have also met someone.....someone really sweet & nice & of whom I think my husband would approve of me spending my time with.....

Anyhoos....I have decided, all things considered, to apply for citizenship....ugh.....please help guide me.....can I do this even though I no longer have my spouse?
Any help/advice is greatly & thankfully received.

Hope all is well & good & groovy with y'alls xx

Hi everyone,

I'm working on my naturalization application (Form N-400).

On the myUSCIS website, it gives two options: filling out the form completely online, or uploading a filled PDF. It also states clearly that if you're applying for a reduced fee, you cannot file online; you must upload a PDF.

So, I followed those instructions: I downloaded the N-400 PDF, filled it out (including checking the box for the reduced fee in Part 10 and filling in the income fields), printed it, and then tried to upload it to my myUSCIS account.

However, after uploading, the system still shows the full payment amount of $710.

Curiously, the system seems to detect the legibility of the document and even recognizes my signature. But it doesn't seem to acknowledge where I checked the reduced fee box and filled in the corresponding fields in Part 10.

What am I missing here? Why isn't the system recognizing my reduced fee request in the uploaded PDF? What should I do next?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
