Are you the US citizen? If it is your mother then your wife can not file for her. Only you. If you are not, then your mother has overstayed and her B2 visa is now no longer valid.

my wife emmigrated here , and is now a us citizen , her mother is not currently in US .... we want to start the process to get her permanent residence, we would like her to come here and wait in US while her paperwork is being processed. Thanks  

Yes, my wife is a US Citizen

Can we file while for mother while she's in US on a tourist visa? Any issues from overstaying visa while waiting ?

On the list it asks for form i-693 unless submitted.... Is this needed again or do they already have it from when we submitted the medical earlier(in colombia and when entering the country)...... Been really busy i havent had time to do much........ any advice on exactly what we should bring? I

Update........ 90% sure we are sol until we get the EAD...... The people there simply say " if its not on that list we cant except it", and yesterday i waited all day for a call back from a supervisor and when i finally got it, it was like talking to a parrot...." if its not on that list we cant except it" if its not on that list we cant except it, ...... They have no interest in the fact that although theI129f

Is on the list, the uscis does not send us the approved I-129f, they send a 797 notice of action approval of the I129f.... Literally wont listen period......

So this is what im doing..... Im going to a lawyer to have him fax the 797 and explain this is the process....consult and faxing this...$150

Im also having my congressman file both for an expidited EAD for a medical emegency, and im having them contact PCIP insurance directly since it is a federal program and noone will listen to me......

Its the pcip insurance for california.......when i send the aos i can get an employment auth card right ? If so how long does that take? How do i get it? Sorry im scrambling here

One of the choices is "Form I-129F, K-1 visa." Surely you have that? It's the last box.

I sent a copy, they want an approved i-129f, which the government doesnt send, they send form i797 notice of action........and yes im referring to the expired i94 ......

Hi my wifes insurance provider wants proof shes here legally and her k1 visa expires july 7, they are giving me no latitude here..... Heres a list of acceptable documents

Does anyone know how i can get one of these quickly?

Ok thanks, i just found a preexisting condition plan for only 164 a month, wont take effect until june 1 but i think it will be best choice.......... Just came from the local hospital here, a sonogram here is $1100....... $30 in colombia.........

Update..... Everything went great she did miss her booked flight but then caught one right after that....... Noone spoke spanish, but it was ok.......thanks

So ive seen mixed answers ... Is it ok for my 5 month pregnant fiancee to apply for medi-Cal? Would it be a problem for the AOS Later?

But like I said, you must book 2 hours or more between flights. If not, is at their discretion to rebook you on another flight. If they do is simply because they have enough seats available to do that. Imagine if they don't....

Her flight is with United, 2 months ago i had a similar issue with united where the flight connection in houston was only 45 minutes and i had to go through customs, and i told the united salesman theres no way i would make the flight, he simply said go to the counter after customs they would het me on the next one...... Long story short i got into a bit of an argument with an officer in the secondary security after id waited over an hour for no good reason, so i waited ( detained) 3 more hours , after all that i just went to the counter and said it took awhile in customs and just like the salesman said they put me on the next one no questions asked......

Yeah thats the time frame i was thinking......shes prepared to have to catch the next flight they can get her on, i just went through the same thing a couple months ago .....its a pain but at least the airlines get you on your way quickly

to clarify , i booked my flight months ago directly with the airline, then recently after she got her visa, i booked hers on the same flight as my return but through a third party book agency despegar.com, and a few days ago they cancelled her ticket..

Hi anyone know If its ok if my fiance speaks basically no english (spanish only), and shell be entering in houston alone?....i had her ticket booked with mine but the third party booking agency just canceled her tickets on me , and of course there are no more tickets available on the same flight i will be on ......also, how long it takes to pass customs/immigration?........ My fiancee is flying into houston with a 1 hr 45min layover.... is this enough time? I know from past experience, in Houston in particular it can take almost that long without the extra poe wait....

I found insurance for my pregnant fiance through a picp plan (pre existing condition) for 157 a month , was directed through the dept of health website...

My fiancee will be coming to the us 4 months pregnant and since i found out we cant use medicaid, i was planning on paying cash for the doctors appts. and filing for emegency medicaid once the baby is born.....ive realized there is a flaw in my plan, emergency room/ complications... I live in california , is wic ok? I know medicaid is not..... Can i just get her insurance and not put that shes pregnant ? I think i just answered my own question lol

Jacob, first, congratulations on getting through the process!!! One question, when you were talking about not bringing Western Union Receipts, what was it in your documents that triggered them to ask for the reciepts? I have a couple Western Union receipts I sent for her last birthday and christmas, but have not done any other transfers, so just wondering why they asked for that.

Thanks and best wishes.

Jon & Clau

I had nothing in my documents saying anything about sending money or western union...... I think its just one of the standard questions, at least with her ( lady in window 5)

Greetings all, just had our interview today and it went great , just a couple hickups..... Didnt bring the reciept for payment to the embassy, so i had to go to the internet cafe accross the street to print it out...the security let me just come back in without waiting in line again which was nice.....when we went to the first window (la colombiana) she was so nice and quick i didnt think that it was an interview , the only questions she asked my fiance was my full name and my phone number.......we waited and waited and waited some more, we passed the time helping this woman fill out the 230 forms for her and her 2 kids since she spoke no english and i was the only gringo there ( besides the embassy personell).....by the way, the 230 form was not on the list of forms at the embassy, so we didnt even take it out of our envelope.....i am in no way suggesting not bringing it, just an observation...... 3 hrs later when they called her to the window the lady was very serious, asked all of the standard questions, where met, when engaged? Blah blah blah..... Theere were a couple things that raised her eyebrows.... The fact that ive been in colombia for three months.... She even said " americans dont take 4 month vacations", my fiance simply replied i have my own business so i can do what i want...... The other thing which was MAJOR is we didnt bring receipts from the money i sent western union..... Didnt think it was a big deal since we had an abundance of other evidence, photos , skype history, boarding passes, etc....... The lady was stuck on wanting these receipts, in fact, she did not ask for 1 other piece of evidence, she said " you need to bring those receipts" and i was diying inside..... But before i knew it the lady behind the window smiled and my baby turned around with tears in her eyes and i knew it was over........i think i have thought about this every day for 8 months and im so glad i dont have to think/ worry about this anymore....... A HUGE thank you to everyone this site has been so helpful..... Besides the info / checklists on completing the steps, but just knowing what the next step is / how long it will probably be was very comforting....THANK YOU VISAJOURNEY.COM

Buenas tardes nuestra historia fue algo complicada desde el principio, llegamos a la embajada a las 6:45am nuestra cita era a las 7:30, llegamos bien, nos pusieron el stikers verde hicimos la fila 3, luego entramos y fuimos a la taquilla 32 y organizamos los papeles segun las instrucciones, el problema nuestro fue que no imprimimos el recibo de pago de internet y tampoco teniamos el papel con la cita, mi novio tuvo que salir a imprimir e recibo y eso nos retraso el proceso, por favor tener esos dos documentos, las fotos que sean todas iguales a las que tienen que pegar en las formas y tener los papeles sin sobre cuando la señora los pida, fue muy seria pero formal, luego nos dijo que esperaramos en el cafe iguana que desde alli escuchabamos el llamado a la otra taquilla, y esperamos y esperamos fueron 4largas horas, estabamos preocupados pensando que de pronto faltaba algo en los papeles, pero nos llenamos otro rato de paciencia, por fin nos llamaron a la taquilla 5, y ahi empezo mi calvario, era una señora extranjera muy seria, muy precisa en sus preguntas, las preguntas que me hizo tan personales y con tanta insistencia me pusieron muy nerviosa, pero yo siempre respondia muy segura, pidio cuentas bancarias de dinero que mi novio me envia y no tenia, teniamos de todo menos eso, fotos, registros de llamadas, staba muy asustada, pense iba a decir no, luego me dijo esta bien, tu visa esta aprobada, yo simplemente no lo podia creer, ella me sonrio por fin, le pregunte por mi pasaporte y me explico que en dos semanas lo podia reclamar en medellin en el DHL asignado por la embajada, mi novio y yo estabamos muy emocionados, fue la espera y la experiencia mas aterradora de mi vida, y la mas emocionante tambien, ya estamos planeando nuestro viaje a los EEUU con nuestro bebe a bordo, les deseo mucha suerte a las parejas proximas a su cita, es una experiencia unica, muy emotiva, llenense de paciencia y traten de ser seguros en sus respuestas asi se sientan presionados un poco, creo es parte del proceso para ellos comprobar si todo es cierto, espero nuestra experiencia les ayude. Gracias a todos !

The "antecedentes judiciales" is the the same thing as the "pasado judicial" .... that's the one you want. Enter the cedula number and print.

Im still not 100% .... If they are the same why do the instructions ask for both?(seperately) Do you know of anyone who has already gone to the interview without the pasado judicial?

Thanks alot.... I see your interview date is the day before ours... Good luck!

Estas seguro? Es que en los requisitos dice que aparte del pasado judicial se necesitan tambien antecedentes judiciales

Por favor necesito ayuda con el documento que necesito para mi entrevista en la Embajada es el pasado judicial del Das pero no encuentro como ya que se encuentra en supresion, quien me pueda colaborar con esta informacion muchas gracias

Im having trouble locating it .... The DAS office is Shutting down and it isnt available online....... Ive read on here that it is available on the police website but i cant find it .... I can only find the "antecedentes judicial"( which i need as well)..... If someone knows where it is can you please post a link?
