gotcha!!

thank you so much for your input!!

awesome, thank you for the reply!!

so the birth certificates and such should be for my brothers and sisters only??

I don't have to included anyone else's information??

and if their children age out, they will have to turn around and process more paperwork correct??

do they have to be citizens to sponsor their children??

I looked at all of the guides, but couldn't get a definite answer...

So when petitioning for my bothers and sisters , do I do the I-130 form for them only??

What do we have to do for their spouses and children??

Thanks

Quick question, probably an obvious and stupid one, hehhe...

If both of my wife's parents would like to come visit from Vietnam,

do they both have to apply for a visa??

Thanks

Thanks, Long.

I entered the reciept number and it says the number isn't found??

I got my noa1 with the date of 01.07.2014...I wasn't able to quote a quote to add it, hehe...sorry

I sent my packet on the 01/02/2014, but still have not gotten an NOA from them.... is there someone I should be calling?

maybe give it some time due to the bad weather and all...I sent mine in the same day and they finally cashed the check today...so hopefully I'll recieve an NOA next week...

congrats!!

congrats!!

but regardless...my wife can't do it with the 2 year green card, correct?? we have to wait until the 2 years are up and apply for the 10 year?? Thanks, Long.

Thanks for the info Anh Map...

I've been trying to search, but couldn't find much,

Is there a write-up for sponsering for a relative or is it pretty much the same as doing one for my spouse??

How long does my wife have to be here before starting for her parents and siblings??

Thanks, Long.

congrats!!

congrats!!

same difference from what I have seen...but for the CR-1 visa, you would have to get a marriage license in Vietnam which can be a headache...

This is the first I have heard of this. All my years here and anytime I heard of anyone having the Mental done here in the states they were made to take it again in VN. I have learned something.

I had the mental done in with my personal doctor...we did a physical and he went ahead and signed it...we had no problems in vietnam

I think mine took less than 3 weeks. Maybe about 10 days, but it really depends. 3 weeks seems reasonable.

hmm, I haven't seen anything in the mail, and its been almost a month...who should I contact??

My SO finally got her 2 year "conditionally permanent" residence (2 yr green) card today. It was a net total of about 15months from the initial K-1 filing. Its a pretty good day, to say the least, even tho its all been relatively easy since the POE. I thank again those who helped us along the way.

One thing was goofy on her GC... somehow the card says she is from North Vietnam, when in fact, she is squarely from South Vietnam. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Not sure it really matters, and she doesn't seem to care, but still... Come to think of it.. there really is no North & South anymore.. shouldn't it just say "VietNam"?

How long did it take you to recieve this since she arrived in the states?? I heard it was suppose to take 3 weeks?? Thanks, Long.
