Hello, anyone? 

Can someone please answer my question? 

🤔

I'm trying to get information on how to approach this. My biological father's name is not on my certificate up to this day. I'm a US Citizen whose already successfully filed for my mom and step dad. Is it possible to petition my dad at this point? If so what substancial supporting documents would I need to prove emotional or financial relationship between me and dad? Also will I need to get his name on amended to my birth certificate this point or it's pointless? 

Hello

My dad who is green card holder submitted an I-130 for my brother last week. My brother turns 21 in June. Do you think he will make it through in the F2A category?

Thank you kindly,

i spoke to a supervisor who informed me that I might get an interview in November in Jamaica, despite my parents' cases being completed on May 13.

Are you waiting for Mumbai ?

JAMAICA

I've been waiting with a case complete since May 13th for an interview for my parents.

Hi
Its me IR5 again.This thread has helped me keep my sanity. It so good to see interview dates being scheduled! This has given me hope about interviews for IR5 mumbai and I have been calling NVC everyday. It has been really tough but thanks to everyone for giving me hope :-)

hahaha! yes speaking to a supervisor really helps... i hounded one down all week and guess what FINALLY my case has been complete!!!!

if anyone wants to know the name, go to Sylvia!! she knows what she is doing !

Silvia is GREAT!!!!!

when was your case completed?

I need the interview to be scheduled

How do you go about getting your case expedited?

My case was completed on May 13th.

Was told they are done schduling for the month of July! So i should call back in July for August scheduling!

You can't use the EZ form because you won't be able to check yes on three questions asked.

Request or demand to speak to a supervisor!

They have been together before I turned 16 and they didn't get married officially until 2007 so I was already pass 18th. Will that be a problem.

Yes it will be a problem. The marriage would have had to take place before your 18th birthday. Sorry...

I saw that US Citizen can apply for stepparent. I will apply to bring my dad after citizenship is completed so can I apply to bring my Stepmother as well? does it take the same amount of time?

Yes you can file for your stepmom. The process is equally the same. however you must ensure that your parents have been married before you turned 16.(I think it's between your 16th or 18th birthday).

as long as it can be changed at the interview that is perfectly fine. Thank you!

I submitted the ds-260 for my dad and forgot to put his middle name. will that pose a problem? can this be fixed before the interview or during the interview?

Just send all your dcouments in nontheless. They take 60 days to review them, so I'm sure the fee will be invoiced by then.

I don't know how long it takes to get the card per say, but I am sure on your passport you have an official visa stamp that serves as evidence of temporary residency while you wait for the green card. With that you could go to the DMV office an obtain a DL. You may also need to provide proove of SSN to get your DL which you can apply for one once you enter the US. Once you apply for a SSN it takes about two weeks more or less to get the card on the mail. By the way, if you have an active DL that has not yet expired from your country and your passport with you, you could drive in some states. See reciprocity for your state and see if you are allowed to drive with that or if you need an international drivers license if you desperately need to drive while you wait to obtain the one for your state.

Best,

Jorge

Hi can that same stamp be used to get employment? Does it have the permanent resident number that will be shown on the card?

FYI it went up.

I will be happy to share my journey with you when the process is complete.

Thanks again

I've heard everyone's opinion. My opinion is, well from what I've read regarding US laws. Once you can prove abandonment by both birth parents, then the child is indeed an orphan. Which in my case, my niece absolutely is. Both her parents were absent since she was 3months.

Also she lived with me since she was 3months old when I lived in Jamaica. Making it a total of 4years. I left Jamaica and my father who lives in a different parish is now raising her. He is not her legal guardian, but he is raising her. So she is still in fact an orphan, because her birth parents don't provide for her financially, emotionally and never visit her. So she is just basically living with my dad until I complete the adoption process.

Thanks everyone and have a great day!
