My parents are living here with visas and would like to get their permanent residency. So I submitted the I-130 and I-485 for them

Hello,

Thank you in advance for reading and providing advice. I became a US citizen earlier in the year through marriage and I am in the process of sponsoring my parents to become permanent residents. They currently live in the New York and I live in Michigan.

They received the initial interview letter for form I-485. According to a lawyer friend, I as a petitioner needs to be present at the interview with my parents. However, the interview notice does not say anything about me having to be there. Has anyone invited their parents for permanent residency and gone through the interview process?

I know if you're applying for the permanent residency based on marriage or parent/child relationship and the child is a minor, both the petitioner and the recipient have to be present for the interview. I'm not too certain about my case where the child over the age of 18 sponsors the parent. I would appreciate any advice and clarification.

Cheers,

Jin

I didn't try to make infopass appointment. I did send a letter to USCIS along with my I-765 application explaining why I need it to be expedited. I will call USCIS and see if I can get it expedited. Thank you

Hello,

We filed the I-765 along with the I-485 on June 28th.

My wife is working two part time jobs to support us. I have a job offer that will allow me to work as soon as I receive the work authorization card. I explained the situation and sent a letter to my senator requesting to expedite my I-765 with the NOA.

Am I supposed to hear back something from the senator? How does the process work?

Thank you in advance
