US Immigration from Germany

Hi everyone,

I am filing form i130 for my mother. what documentation should i submit .

Thanks.

Hello everyone! I m wondering if anyone can help with giving me a starting point.

My parents have been living here in the US for a number of years now with their permanent residency card, I am a US citizen.

My mothers son (my half brother) is 39 years old and he is a special needs person who is also handicapped and incapable of self maintained living. At the moment he is living outside of the country with family, and spends half of the year with us and half of the year with the international family.

Now that my parents have become permanent residents, we are looking to find the best possible way to sponsor him to live with us with as little wait time as possible as it is very stressful and hard for him to be away from his parents and not have access to proper medical care.

He will be back with us in about 2 weeks, and I am trying to figure out the best time to file (where maybe I can file while he s here and I don t have to wait 4 months until he goes back) to reduce the stress of care on everyone.

We are in Germany and are filing for citizenship from Germany under the 319b exception, where you also need to send in fingerprint cards and passport photos. So according to the instruction we mailed our package to the Arizona Lock Box. We also have an account with USCIS which we indicated on the N400 form. In any event, USCIS received it on 8 Aug 2022, but we haven't received anything back yet.

Has anyone else gone this route and has an idea of the timelines?

Also, since I am from Washington State, we chose Seattle as the place where my wife will be interviewed.

Hi, my wife filed a fianc visa petition for me before we got married 5 years ago but then we decided we wanted to live in Germany. We filed I-130 earlier this year, and wrote that there had been a previous fianc visa petition and that it had been withdrawn.

Looking through emails recently we figured out by accident that she had written USCIS to withdraw the I-129f but they replied that the case was at the NVC. She then wrote the NVC that replied that it had been forwarded to the embassy. At that point we just abandoned it.

So the problem is we genuinely forgot that there had been this back and forth. It's a very stupid mistake, but it was all shortly before the wedding which was a busy time and it somehow didn't register in our brains. The I-129f had been approved, and not withdrawn like we thought. I'm not sure whether we should try to amend the I-130 by uploading an explanatory letter in unsolicited evidence, including the emails to USCIS and the NVC and their answer, or just wait it out and explain the situation if they ask? Has anyone made a somewhat similar mistake on I-130, that is more than just a typo?

We were document qualified 2 weeks ago. Does anyone have a guess as to how much time it takes the NVC to make an appointment and the time after that to the actual appointment? We have the med exam scheduled for next week, but that would be wasted if the process takes > 6 months.
