US Immigration from Lebanon

Hello Everyone

I am completing the I130 application so I can bring my mother to the US.

I already submitted evidence such as Birth certificate, however on the last page I see there is additional evidence request. If anyone went through this, do I still need to get that additional evidence or the birth certificate by itself is enough?

I do see in the text below they are saying "may be submitted" but I just want to be sure before I send my application as I don't want us to face delays in processing because of something I failed to submit.

Thank you

Hello everyone,

So I applied for my husband online for I-130 (second time) and I added the mobile App on my phone at first I didn t see anything no movement or anything. But then second week of May I kept seeing update movement (touch I guess you might call it) but every time I sign in through my laptop there is no case update so I find it weird all these weird touches that happen almost everyday for the last 2 weeks on the mobile App but nothing if I login via my laptop. Does anyone have any idea what this could mean?

I included a snapshot of the app page and I underline where is keeps changing or being updated.

any ideas would be helpful

Thank you

NOA 1 - 3/1/21

So today I had my oath ceremony in albany NY.

You can check my timeline for the exact dates.

Now for the interview:

I had mine last week. I applied under the 3 years rule and I was fully prepared arrived 20 mins earlier checked in and waited for 10 mins until I was called. The interviewer saw the big bag I had and was confused but when I say I was prepared it means i was realllllyyy prepared. Straight to the civic and English and passed then went through the form and corrected all the mistakes I made filling it. Then he asked me if i had anything to add to my file. I gave him few bank statements and credit cards then he said its enough you already submitted tons of paperwork which i replied " the issue is when it comes to prove the marriage is legitimate you never know what is enough". He complemented me on how organized i was.

Two things i was worried about.

1. I did have a misdemeanor from 2010 in my country which i paid the fine and had proof that i did. He did ask alot about it but he was nice and gave me enough space to explain but i was certain it will be the reason to get a "a decision cannot be made" which i didn't get

2. In my file there was a malpractice lawsuit we filled against my old doctor i did provide the letter from my attorney of the settlement. But i was never asked about it at all.

The officer than left the office came 5 mins after with a congratulations i was recommended for approval and the oath ceremony notice. I was so excited im sure i started speaking some weird language and he kept smiling. Then i left extremely overwhelmed with happiness.

Today i attended the ceremony and it was beautiful. Quick and no guests but nonetheless it was still lovely. the officers were extremely nice and down to earth they even offered to help us take photos which we did.

If you are reading this i wish you the best of luck in the world. This process wasn't easy at all we all here know that. My journey is over. Thanks to everyone who took the time to give me an advise or even sharing their stories it definitely helped.

One last thing, when this year started my removal of condition was still pending and 5 months after I am a citizen. Doesn't get better than that.

If you have any question please feel free to send me a message and ill gladly answer you.

Last favor to ask. If you are reading this please always fill your timeline. It helps seeing how others doing.

Hello all!! I didn t see a May group for this yet. I am currently waiting for my daughters Birth Certificate and I am sending my application right away. I have gathered as much proof of relationship as I could(bills/pictures/our baby girl BC/tax returns/$680 check Wishing us all best of luck unto this next phase.

Also...hubby and I will be reaching out 3rd year of marriage this coming November. We do plan to file the N-400 while our I-751 is pending. If anyone in the Chicago area have experience with the processing time for both...is combined interview a possibility?

Hello,

We received our DQ on March 9th, 2021. We expected to receive a notification about our appointment with the embassy by now because we understood that 4 to 6 weeks is the usual time it takes following the DQ (Documentarily Qualified). Since we haven't heard anything, we're thinking of contacting the NVC. Is there anything else we can do? And how long does it usually take to schedule an interview with the embassy?
