US Immigration from Poland

Hello all,

I submitted our I-130 online two weeks ago, and I noticed the portal allows us to upload additional documents even if USCIS isn't requesting it.

Is it a good idea to upload more documents while we wait for our petition to process? While we've been waiting we thought of a few more financial documents we could get translated and upload. Is it a good idea to upload more documents while we wait for our petition to process?

Hello everyone,

My wife and I are submitting are I-130 soon, but we are having a bit of a dilemma deciding when we should do it.

We would like to submit it as soon as possible because we will have to mail all of our documents from Poland and given some of the wait times on processing everying - the sooner the better. However, our third child is due to be born in mid-August. We also be going through the process of obtaining their US citizenship through the US embassy here.

We were wondering how easy it is to add a child to our application and whatnot after we have submit our I-130? We also will be going through the process of obtaining their US citizenship through the US embassy here. Is it a pain enough where we should wait until our child is born to send everything in? Or is it just a matter of submitting the necessary documents online or something? Because like I said, we would prefer to send everything in ASAP.

Thank you!

Hi All,

I have a question regarding mailing address on the I-130 form. I'm currently a USC living abroad in Poland for the past 3 years, and I'm a little stumped on what I should put my mailing address as.

Basically, I still use my parents house as my US mailing address and for conducting business in the US, and I use my current address in Poland for my business here.

Should I use my US one since it may make a stronger case for proving domicile when we get to the I-864 process? Or is there the issue that stuff from USCIS may get sent there in the future?

Thank you!

Hello

I don't remember whether you can contact your alderman or your congressman about your case. I know I did it for my case but I don't recall who it was.

We are trying to see if alderman/congressman involvement may move the case forward.

Can someone tell me whether it is the alderman or congressman?

Thank you.

Hello

In January I became a US citizen and in March, my parents have applied for AOS. My mom did not have a SS# but my dad did. My mom received her EAD card a month ago but my dad's case is still in review. My dad desperately needs his EAD approved before 6/17 as he is a truck driver. I will be able to support my parents financially after 6/17 if my dad does not receive his EAD but I know this will stress him out and it will bring him down. He loves being a truck driver.

I know that USCIS works at their own pace and I do not believe we can expedite it as we are probably still within the processing window but just thought I would get on here and see what others are experiencing.

I wish I knew someone who works at the Chicago USCIS office but I don't think that would help (asking the person to look into the status of my dad's case).

Thank you.
