US Immigration from India

Hello all,

My parents were issued IR-5 visa in February, 2020. Little after they got their visa, the flights were banned from India to USA and Trump administration has suspended this category until March 31st, 2021. Their visas are already expired last year. Do they have to reapply their visa and start the procedure again? I as a petitioner have to apply for them starting from the scratch?

Any additional info is welcomed.

Your advise will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello people we submitted our i130 on 21 December 2020. And right now I am living in Hyderabad India. In 10 days I am moving to punjab with my u.s citizen wife. I got my passport from Hyderabad I already updated my wife name on my passport. So should I apply for my Pcc now from Hyderabad. Or should I do it in Punjab plzz help me.

Hi all, am a USC and my parents are here since October. I'd like to file their i130 & 485 concurrently. Question - can i130 be filed online and the 485 be sent via mail? has anyone done that - any tips/advice?

I m just perusing through the document requirements for IR5 visa for my mother in India. Looks like a marriage certificate is one of the requirements. My Dad passed away a few years back (death certificate is available). I know for a fact that the marriage was not registered (1962). I looked at the reciprocity document list in the State Department website and it s not clear what would suffice. Under exceptions it states None .

Has anyone been in a similar situation? What did you do? What alternate document suffices? It s too late to register the marriage, as my father is no more.

Hi there, what documents should we present to Embassy for CR-1 filing, we got married in a quite little ceremony (no family member as I don't have any family) but we do have marriage certificate and tons of photos , what else should we have before we file? Will having no family members in wedding photos be a problem? The beneficiary is from India
