US Immigration from India

During filling DS-260 at NVC stage, there is column "Mother surnames at Birth" in Family Section. Should we fill Mother's maiden surname in this column along with first name and middle name at her birth in "Given name" column or is it fine to put current name as present in Passport, which is now her legal name? We have filled current name as per passport for mother in the I130A form (i130 petition is already approved) in the Mother's maiden name column in Parent's Section.

Kindly guide, whether we can put same current name as mentioned in I130A and as per passport in this DS-260 "Mother surnames at Birth" column to avoid discrepancy between I130A and DS-260 forms or will there be any issue during Consular visa processing interview if we put current legal mother's name as mentioned in passport in "Mother surnames at Birth" column in DS-260 form Family Section?

Hello Team,

I am applying permanent residence for my dad who is currently in the US on Visitor visa. (Mom passed away recently). Iam filling his i-485 and have the below questions -

1. Part 4- Information about parent/SPOUSE
   1. Dad's mom has no Family name- What should be entered?
   2. Dad's parents DOB is unknown - DO we enter Unknown?
   3. Information about current spouse- DO we enter anything here (Since Mom passed away )
2. Part 16 and 17 regarding SSN- Do I need SSN for my Dad? He retired long back and will not work.
3. Can the i-485 be signed electronically or do we need physical signature (Asking because he is currently with my other sister in a different state)?
4. Every page has an A-Number. can we leave it blank?

Hello!

I have my N-400 Interview (probably a combo interview due to pending I-751) on Jan 9th, 2024 and was wondering if anyone has a document checklist they used to compile all documents outside of the documents mentioned on the interview letter. Any additional tips are also welcome Excited but also nervous for the last step of the process. Thank you all for all your guidance throughout this entire journey!

my wife is a permanent resident and it has her new name(after marriage) on the PR Card but her foreign passport still has her old pre-marriage name

when we leave to depart, i know the airlines will check the passport and match it with authorized travel document, which in our case is her PR card

the names will not match and im not sure if this will create an issue, she also has her state ID card and copy of the marriage certificate which shows the name change

Hello I am looking for guidance on whether to send out a separate application for the 18 yo daughter or send out one single application for the mother and the daughter.

From some of the earlier posts I noticed that if the green card was received over 90 days from each other then we should send out two separate applications.

In our case- both the mother ( my wife) and the daughter ( my stepdaughter) were interviewed together by the same officer on the same day and have the same issue and expiry dates on their conditional green card.

BUT the physical card that the daughter received was after 95 days of the date of interview vs. her mother received her card in about a month from the date of interview.

Would it still be okay to send out one single I751 application?

Thanks
