I assume the approval notice says "The petition indicates that the beneficiary is in the United States and wishes to apply for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident." Correct?

Yes, exactly what is on the approval notice.

Have you looked at the Guides on VJ?

 

File the I-485.  File the I-131 for AP.  File the I-765 for EAD.  Both the I-131 and I-765 are free with the I-485.

Not yet. I'm about to. Thank you very much.

Correct.

Thanks, one more thing. Can I include Form i-765 (Employment Authorization) along with Form I-485?

For the I-485, the sister is the principal applicant. There is no derivative applicants unless the sister has a spouse and children of her own. 

Thank you!

A spouse would automatically revoke the petition by an LPR parent.   lol.  Just joking with USS_Voyager.  

The intending immigrant is the principal applicant for the I-485.  Your sister is the one seeking to adjust status with the I-485.  

 

Thank you for this.

Thank you. So i just need to fill out number 3 and 4 and skip number 5 to 9? 

Good day everyone! 

I'm a U.S Citizen, and 3 years ago I sponsored my younger sister to come here in the U.S under F1 student visa. She is still here under F1, just turned 18, and currently on her first year of college. 

My mom who I petitioned, just got here last year and she is a permanent resident, as soon as she got here last year, she filed  a Form I130 for my younger sister and we just got a letter that it's has been approved and my sister can now submit Form I-485. My question is who is the principal applicant? Is it my sister or my mom?I'm helping my sister to fill this form out.  I'm also attaching a photo that got me confused. The part 2 about principal applicant and derivative applicant. Do I need to fill out the number 3 and 4 or just number 5 to 9? Thank you so much for you help.

hi

 

she can file immediately, with the i551 in her passport, then when she does get her GC, she will need to send copy of GC

 

 

Hi, thank you for your response. I don't see a i551 on her passport. Is that a stamp? I will have to take a look again.

Her endorsed visa is a temporary green card valid for 1 year. 

 

Has anyone paid the immigrant fee online yet?

I paid for her green card online before she flew here.

Hi, my mom just got here  in the U.S under IR5 one week ago , She hasn't receive her green card yet. I'm wondering when can she file a petition for my minor sister? Does she have to wait to file petition until she receive her actual green card or she can file now? And when can she apply for social security and actually work? The USCIS told her upon entering the U.S that she has to wait for her green card to be mail to her up to 6 months. Any info with this matter would be very appreciated. Thanks

My child has been stayed in the U.S since 2013 as F1. I become GC holder and currently sponsor for my child. And so yes i think they would ask my daughter about her school.

 

p.s: Is there a list of common questions for Minor Children F2A?

Hi, have you already sponsored your child under F2A ? I was wondering how long did it took for the petition to get approved and for her to become a permanent resident. I would appreciate your response.  Thank you

Hi Kimlyn,

 

How's your mom interview yesterday 7/6? what was the questions being asked? appreciate your insight thank you!!!

Hi, my mom passed her interview! She'll have to wait 5-10 days for her visa to be delivered. She said the officer asked her first why her Birth Certificate was late registered, also asked about my younger sister that's here on a student visa. The rest will be all about you and your partner, like when and how did you get in the U.S, address, work and income. I'm sure your mom visa will be approved!

Quick questions guys...

 

I’m completing the I-864 form.

I’m the petitioner/US Citizen (Daughter) petitioning  for my Mother from (PH) ..

my question is that my own salary is above poverty line already but I’m filing taxes jointly with my husband does my husband needs to complete I-864A form?

 

My Husband is very much aware about my petition for my mom and his OK with the application of bringing my Mom into the US.

 

But I don’t want my Husband to be liable for my Mom being here in the US,  

I feel like my Mom is my own responsibility not his specially if my salary alone is above poverty line.

 

my question is there anyone ever got RFE for having your Spouse not filing I-864A ? Specially if the petitioner is filing TAX jointly with Spouse?

 

Appreciate Y’all kind respond thank you.

 

Hi, I did the same thing. I completed and submitted the I-864 Form. I did not have my husband fill out the form I-864A since my income is above the poverty line. We have joint bank accounts  and we filed taxes jointly. They accepted all my papers and emailed me an interview date for my mom.

Last week I received an email that the Affidavit of Support that I sent them was incomplete, and they need my husband signatures in Form I-186A and my mom will need to bring this upon her interview. I thought everything was good until they emailed me about the Form I-864A. So I guess just submit it with your form to avoid any delays. I had to mail it express to the Philippines because my mom interview is coming up which is on July 06.

chest x-ray, blood test, urinalysis, visual acuity, physical exam and history of immunization. It depends on what pre existing condition, if it is tuberculosis and hasn’t been treated then it would be a concern. 

Hi, what if there is no record of immunization?

Hi, what else did you mailed to the NVC beside the IRS? I think, I already gave them a copy of my birth cert. and my mom when I filed the Form I-130... 

Hi, guys. I petitioned my mom last year and her papers got approved a couple months ago. I have paid all the fess and I am now filling out the DS 260  online for her.  I got confused about the child immigrating question. I put all of my brother and sisters name on the form.  My 16 years old sister lives with me here in the U.S and she is on a student visa. My mom is planning on applying my lil sis a green card as soon as she gets hers. I  don't know what to answer on this questions for my mom DS 260

Q: Is this child immigrating to the US with you? (My lil sis is here already in the U.S with me on F1 visa)

A: Yes or No

Q: Is this child immigrating to the US at a later date to join you? 

A. Yes or No

Any help with this matter would be very appreciated  Thank you so much.

Hi, guys. I just called today and got my case number! I'm wondering what would be the next step after this? The NVC told me to wait for the email for the instructions.

Hi kimlynn, im from the philippines too, im the beneficiary of my daughter who petitioned us with my husband. Still waiting pd august 28,2017. Nice to meet you here. Ours Texas service center, but now tsc have some approvals of july filers 2017. Hope and praying ours will be the next

I'm sure you will get your approval very soon!

Hi, I just want to share a good news today. I just got back from my vacation from the Philippines and checked the mail. My mom's Form I-130 got approved. Her priority date is June 07, 2017. It's from Nebraska Office. 

IR 5 Consular processing... I 130 from you first then the other documentation once it reaches the NVC stage. As already suggested - read the guides here and on the govt website.. they do answer all the questions. Take your time, read read and re read.

Hope it goes well!~! Approx 12 months from the time the I 130 is received by USCIS.

I will. Thank you...
