I am posting this on behalf of the beneficiary

"My dad petitioned for me (filed I-130). All the process was completed, paid all the fees/submitted documents etc. Also got the interview call. A week before the interview my dad who had petitioned for me passed away due to which we were denied visa. Someone at the US embassy told us that we could file for substitute petition. So we decided to transfer the petition under my mom's name. We submitted all the documents to do that few days after the interview. A few months later we received a letter saying that the case is a humanitarian case and they didn't mention any time frame. The letter was under my mom's name, but we dont know if the substitute petition has been approved or not because when I call USCIS they say it is still under my dad's name. Whenever I call them or check status online they say that they are reviewing the case. Am I supposed to receive a new receipt number or priority date? I'm not sure if the case is under my mom's name now. When I call them they say that they can't see my mom's name in the system but the last letter my mom received was under her name. My mom Is a US citizen and I am 50. Is it still possible for me to move to the US ? I read a few similar cases and I wanted to know if someone was successful in moving to the US after the death of the petitioner.  Please explain the process" Please answer I appreciate your time.

Hello I am US Citizen filing for Brother in India, I have few questions before i file my application.

 

1) Me and my brother don't have Birth Certificates showing common parents.

What alternate documents we can submit to show our sibling relation/common parent? 

 

2) My Brother is married and have a child < 21. do i have to file 3 separate I-130 and pay I-130 fee x 3 or just 1 I-130 application will be sufficient.

 

thanks for you help.

You may contact the hospital you guys were born in and ask the hospital to write a statement or two saying that you and your brother are biological children of the parent. You may show school report card (10/12th grade). You may also MCD (a local ozganization that keeps all the birth records).

you mean to USCIS National Customer Service Center (NCSC) at 1-800-375-5283?
 

did you get the welcome letter/checklist if yes then contact NVC (National visa center)

Your best bet is to explain this to an NVC customer service and ask them what is the best option for you.

Try contacting the hospital you were born in and ask them to add your name and your parents name on it if its not mentioned or you can ask them to write a statement saying that you are their biological child and get it signed by some document. you can also get a new birth certificate from your local office where they give you all the records and ask them to add the info that you need and is missing. You can also send them school records depending if they have the info that would prove the relationship.

I 130

When did you submit the civil and financial documents? How long does it say in the letter it will take for them to review the document before they schedule an interview? Did you contact NVC what did they say?

My son applied for me on dec 2015 n we still waiting for the interview. They r asking for more than 8 weeks to review any paper u sent.

Is that for AOS or I130 ?

No, I dont have any format. Thanks for your reply. 

you were suppose to send death certificate when you submitted all your civil and financial documents. May I know when did you petitioned for your mom and how long did it take for you after submitting all the documents to NVC to get the interview call? how long does NVC give you for the interview and the medical?

I must be on the certificate you get at the oath.

If you have questions regarding who is suppose to submit what document call USCIS and ask them specifically because thats what I did. DS 260 opens AFTER you pay the fees from what I remember. 

Hello, 

I am US citizen, residing in Dallas, TX I petitioned for my mom in March 2016. My mom is an Indian citizen. The I130 was approved and the case was sent to the NVC. I have submitted all the financial and civil documents and have paid all the fees. NVC received all the documents on December 28, 2016. On Jan 28 2017 I received an email saying to submit DS 260, which I had already submitted. I called them and asked they said the system automatically sends a reminder and they asked me to ignore the email.  It said it will take 4-6 weeks and if all the documents are complete they will schedule an interview. I contacted NVC and they told me its just a matter of time before they move on to the next step. It has been been more than 2 months from Dec 28, 2016 and more than a moth since I received the automated e-mail. What should I do? How long does it usually take for them to move on to the next step.
