Thank all for the help.

Can I use the same application (I-130), to apply  for both my parents and 22 yr old sister. Does she qualify to be a child on my parents' application. Thank you in advance 

@stevelnbostonI130, have already filed I-130 on line, do not know when to file the rest of the forms.( I-485, I-864, I-765 and I-131)

thanx

@Boiler the guide only talks about mailing. I-130 has changed to online application for people living in the USA. 

i am helping them with the filing.

Hello everyone, I appreciate your constant help. Can anyone guide me to what happens after you file for I-130 online for a spouse living in the USA. I know previously one could mail all other forms together with I-130.

He has already filed the I-130 online. He want to know the next steps, i.e. adjustment, work authorization all other stuff.

 Thanks

So she just had her 18th birthday within the past 3 months?  Just double-checking because this is a critical point that would determine her visa process.

 

the daughter was 17 years when they got married. thanks for helping.

Was the daughter already 18 years old on the day of your friend's wedding?  The exact age on the wedding date is important.

 

17 years, thanx

She cannot as she is not yet a legal resident.  The husband can possibly start the process.....see @Chancy question above.

we thought he could apply for both processes, Visa for the daughter and green card for the mother at the same time. how soon can he apply for the visa for the daughter after they get married?

the daughter is 18 years and they have been married for 3 month. been together for two years. 

Thanx

Crazy cat, I am the one helping him with their immigration stuff, how soon should she they apply for the daughter`s visa.

My best friend, an American citizen, recently married a beautiful lady from Zimbabwe, she is a student living in the USA. she has a daughter back in Zimbabwe. He wants to apply green cards for both them. The mother lives with him in the USA and the daughter lives in Zimbabwe. Can he apply for both green card at the same time? What is the process?

Thank you all.

hello

does anyone know what case numbers are being processed at National service center?

Nivh nick, sorry, I made mistake with i864, it is in the i134 question 11 where you specify the duration and nature of help of the immigrate. So coryl can state his obligations before his son in law comes to the US. And when it comes to I 864 during applying for a green card, corly's obligations will end when his son in law become permanent resident. Lets just agree with citizen, that can also happen in three years.

Nich nick, you r right of when to file the I 864, it is not at the embassy but at aos. but I pretty sure there is a provision in I 864 Where one is asked how long they r willing to be in the commitment. I can not open the form now that I am using myvphone.

ChrisMorrison thanks that is wat I wanted.

Corly, Nich nick is right when she says that when your daughter's fiance comes to US and She is still in the same situation, you may need to be the fiance's joint sponsor again. It is the same process and form, you can still state that you will obligated till when he get authorisation to work, which takes only a few months even before he gets his green card.

Nich nick, one of your posts clearly says that I 864 obligations end when one becomes a permanent resident. that is a few months after marriage and applying for a green card. So you agree with me on that because that is all I have been saying.

If corly does not file for cosponsor and his daughter does not meet the minimum poverty benchmark. The fiance won't get the visa.

No, no, nich nick, the reason why I am so passionate about this, is because I came to the USA on co sponsor so I really know how it works not just what it says. My sponsor clearly stated on my i864 that she was only reliable till when I start to work. The embassy never had a problem with that. Just think about it for a moment, being reliable for someone till they die, that won't be right. The process is to make people part of US not dependents of others in the US.

Coryl, you are right about every thing but I have one more thing to clarify. you do not have to be reliable till he become a citizen. you do not have even to specify the actual time of your reliability, on I 864 form you can state that you will 'watch out' for him till he gets authorization to work, that is a few months after he get married and apply for a green card. you do not have to be in his life or give him any thing.

just be patient , it can take up to 3 weeks to get your passport back.
