US Immigration from Cambodia

Good luck(and congratulations) to everyone.

I am preparing to file the I-130 for my mother. I became a US citizen January 2023. Has everyone(or anyone) filed the I-130 online using the USCIS site or paper? I am filing on the USCIS site but there's something odd to me. During the application process it asks for an "A" number. Now that I am a US Citizen I don't need it correct? Even though I selected that I am a US Citizen, it seems like the site does not know it and keeps giving an error when I select "I don't have an A number". If I keep it selected, it will not allow me to submit the application. If I do not select it(but I don't put anything in the box) it will allow me to submit the application. Has anyone ran into that?

Got an email about 30 days after they submitted an inquiry. Got this as part of the response.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) confirm your constituent s case is in line pending. We do not yet have established processing times for this form. In the interest of fairness to all applicants, USCIS generally processes petitions and applications in the order they are received and there are a number of pending cases.

My question is because it is at Potomac, there is no way to check processing times for this form online. Is "in line pending" just template speak to say they received the form? The only information I got from an agent at USCIS was that Potomac is currently working on 824s received in March 2023.

First message: The income reported as stated on form I-864, I-864A is insufficient to overcome the public charge grounds of inadmissibility for visa issuance. To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 from a joint sponsor may be submitted. For more information visit https://nvc.state.gov/aos and https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p. A consular officer will decide if you meet these requirements at the time of the interview. Note: You, as the sponsor, and any other sponsors household members and joint sponsors, must provide updated or additional evidence for the applicant to present at the time of their interview such as: * Other income * Assets * Proof of current employment Note: You submitted documentation to the National Visa Center through the Consular Electronic Application Center CEAC. You can continue to upload documents to CEAC up until the date of your visa interview.

I have a new job that I am making almost 4x the poverty limits. I was the sole sponsor with an employment letter and three pay stubs. I will just give my wife more paystubs at her interview. This should be sufficient, correct?

Second message:
