Yes, absolutely. You've got a long wait ahead of your so best to start it asap, get the I-130 filed as soon as you can.

Thank you so much

Yes, absolutely. He'll need to be married to bring his wife for her to be able to be included in his application. As said above adjustment of status isn't an option. 

 

So petition him and then wait, he can visit in the interim. 

Can I start the process as single and then once he gets married change the status to married ??

Thank you everybody

I am an american citizen and I would like to know if I can file a petition of green card for my son. he is 27 years old, still single but getting married next year. He has visitor visa, his fiance has italian passport so she can also come

First I would like to know if I can file a petition for him as citizen and if he can come and do adjustment of status, also how will that work if he gets married 

Sorry for all the questions. I truly appreciate your comments and h

She is here in the US, she went to Austin, I asked for the fingerprints and the agent told me that they didnt ask for them, maybe because of her age?

Good morning, 

My mother had her biometric appointment yesterday, but they didn't take her fingerprints just the picture, is that usual ?

A lot of people have skipped applying for either the I-765 or I-131 and have regretted it later.  Regardless of timing, file for everything possible at the earliest opportunity.

i -131 HAS ANY COST? I WAS TOLD THAT MOST OF THE TIMES IT TAKES THE SAME TIME AND THE GREEN CARD

I wanted to know if I should send the travel authorization form, I was told it is taking almost the same time than receive the green card

Who told you that? Adjustment of status packets require I-693 when filing. Otherwise it will get rejected.

 

"Effective Dec. 2, 2024, you must submit Form I-693, or a partial Form I-693 (such as the Vaccination Record), and you must submit it with your Form I-485. Otherwise, we may reject your Form I-485. "

Don't use notarios / paralegals to file immigration cases! Don't rely on advice of friends who filed cases long time ago. Things change all the time. You need to be aware of all requirements.

Thank you for this information, I just looked up for a doctor listed in the page, I will call today to make a appt. my mother doesnt have a shot record Do I just make the appointment and bring the for I693 with me ?? Do you know approx how much can cost ?

Thanks again

I am still confused about this process, I sent the form I130 already, I received the I-797C and now ready to send I485, I was told in a post here few days ago that I need to send copy of the notice of action attached.

 I just downloaded the check list for this form I485 and it says I need passport pictures, birth certificate, and few other forms including the Medical Examination form, affidavit and bunch of forms

Please clarify me what exactly I need to attach to my form I485

I am citizen requesting my mother, she is widow

I really will appreciate your help I am lost and get more and more confussed

Thank you 

Good afternoon, 

I read and knew that we had to send forms I130 and I485 together but my husband sent I130 first, we already got the letter confirming it was received now my question is that is the process going to be delayed because of that ? I am sending I485 form tonigt,

are going to have issues if we sent the I130 first ? How long it is taking to complete the process in Texas

Thanks for your help and advice, I will appreciate it

I have a question for a friend.

She lives in Dominican Republic and getting married in August over there, she has tourist visa and she is planning to move to US with husband in the middle of August.  Can she request adjustment of status ? what documents will she need  to start the process?

Thank you so much for your help

I started my Citizenship in March 2018, I went for my fingerprints already, after that few months my status said that my application was in reviewed. Now since last month it says At this time USCIS cannot provide you with information for your case.

Is there something I should do ?

Thanks

I will be here in USA 5 years in December, and planning to start my citizenship in Sept (90 days before) so I am still a resident. 

PLEASE SOMEONE ASK ME THIS QUESTION !!

Good Afternoon:

My daughter finally got the letter for the interview on July 6th, (almost 1 year later) Lol............

She is 18 now and the petitioner is her stepfather, we had been married for almost 17 years, we are having problems in our marriage and now that he is upset with me he just told me that he is not taking her to the interview.  Can she go by herself now that she is 18 ? she will bring all the documents required in the letter.

Please let me know what we can do

Thanks

Thank you sooo much !

I've been married for 17 years with American Citizen, we lived in Dominican Republic most of the time, but we decided to come to USA for multiple reasons,including that we wanted to come back to his country.

I got my PRC on 12/20/2012 and  I am living in Texas since 07/04/2013.  I am thinking about getting divorced and going back to DR as soon as my daughter finish High School, she is planning to go to College over there too.  My question is : I read about the 3 year and 5 year options to become citizenship, I know I can apply for the 3 year option but I would like to get a divorce so I would like to do the 5 year option.  I was told too that I can apply 90 days before (09/20/17), I will try my best to wait until October here, but I would like to know how long after I start my citizenship do I have to stay here in USA? Can I leave after I send the paperwork ? if not, when can I leave?? . I was also thinking return my Green Card but I really don't want to do it, you never know if I will need it eventually in the future.

I need advice please, my marriage situation is unbearable and desperate to leave

Thanks

Thanks !!
