US Immigration from Philippines

The pinned topic only has kids and siblings.

what are the steps and forms for bringing parents

my wife s mother who has been married twice

first husband died

currently still married

wife doesn t work and is the petitioner. I will provide financial support

we filing taxes jointly

appreciate the help. We are about to file the I-130 so i just want to have ducks lined up for the other forms and documentation.

my MIL doesn t have a birth certificate yet, PSA doesn t have any record of her birth so she needs to get one made essentially. Then her passport but what else will she need?

marriage stuff death certificate stuff( first husband) police clearance? Etc

what will she need to fill out Vs what can we fill out for her? She doesn t have a house with a house number so getting and sending mail is very hard. We need to use LBC currier and she picks up.

Thanks!

Another month another round of AOS submissions. Please be aware that this checklist is NOT all inclusive and you must consult the USCIS website to crosscheck this checklist against/with. I have been reluctant to post a new AOS filing month because there have been so many changes to the requirements some happening overnight. The AOS process has been confusing since the pandemic hit, not to mention the added politics. So please I want to stress that you only use this check sheet as a starting point and guide if you will. The USCIS site will be the final guide. Please ensure that you check your forms for the correct version and edition because if you use the wrong forms USCIS will send back your application to you. This is easily checked on the USCIS website prior to downloading your forms. You should also ONLY download your forms from the USCIS website. The current and correct fees can also be ascertained from the USCIS website.

AOS Checklist

• Cover Letter listing Table of Contents

• (Check Payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security - $1,225.00)

• Be sure to use the correct filing code of (c)(9) if this code applies to you. The I-485 instructions explains all the codes in detail. If you are filing under a different code (other than (c)(9) the fee for your AOS will not be correct and USCIS will reject your entire packet.

Form I-864 (completed and signed by USC) (goes with form I-485)

• Proof of USC's citizenship (copy of birth certificate, copy of passport bio page, or other)

• 2019, 2018 (optional), and 2017 (optional) Tax Return (with W-2) or Transcripts (transcripts are better if you can get them)

Be sure to double check for the current fees as fees do sometimes increase and they can change on a dime so please check. Additionally, check the forms as listed above i.e., current version and or edition date, there have been many changes to various forms. Consider sending tax transcripts instead of the 1040, and W2's. Also consider preparing a cover letter for each form in addition to the main cover letter.

Make sure you send long form birth certificates and not the short form. Hope this helps in your preparation of your AOS. When in doubt ask questions.

Please consider filing the I-131 and the I-765 even if you don't think you'll need them right now. You never know what changes your life will have on down the road, so I recommend you file these two forms from the start. There has been much confusion coming out of USCIS, partly due to Covid-19 and partly self-inflicted. This confusion filters on down to the people filing for AOS. The above listing is subject to change at a moment s notice so please check, recheck and check again BEFORE you send off your packet for any last-minute changes.

Congratulations on a successful submission of your AOS packet!

Greetings!

I am very pleased with NVC to review the case for my sibling even if this category is under Trumps Proclamation which is still ban. I hope that it will be lifted soon.

I am simply keeping my hopes up after waiting for a long time. NG

Hi! I hope this is the right place. I've been chatting for a few months with a girl online from the Philippines. We video chat for hours. We would like to find a way to meet up. Ideally for her to come and see me. Is that in any way possible? Even if she got an au pair job in my hometown?

I am in the United States

I guess is there anyway that we can see each other at this point?

Thank You
