SHIQUILO

i filed for my parents on o saturday 04/22/2023. received the recipt letter on friday 04/28/2023.
 
i couldnt find anything so creating one. please follow along so we all know where we stand. 
 
if a new forum is already created for this topic please direct me towards it. thank you,

Got my approval today.
Checked the status and it says that it's still being reviewed but noticed that the date changed to today, April 9. Signed in to my USCIS account to see an approval file uploaded under documents.
 
Yay!

i am not very sure but if this is the first time you are filing for your mother then your answer should have been a no as you have never filed for her.
 
if she entered USA through any other visa and that was filed by you then your answer should be a yes. 
 
i assume this is the very first application you are making for your mother ever.
 
again dont take this very accurate as  i can definately be wrong and not understanding your situation.

The answer is NO if you have never filed form i-130 on  their behalf or any other person. Regardless of wether either parent had been to the states on a tourist visa the answer remains No. if you answer NO, you wouldn’t be asked for location.

Don't worry, we all learn day by day.
It is the Visa Application Center (VAC)

thank you for your explanation, it's a relief

You are welcome!
That is what I will do if I need to travel before my GC arrives, but anyway try to find out how things work in your state before going to the airport.

Every state has their own rules.
I am in New Jersey and here they don't change your name in the Marriage certificate.
My marriage certificate doesn't have my married name, they said if you want to change your name you just need to present your Marriage certification and your birth certification and you should be fine.
So I did like that when I applied for my SSN and For the AOS, my combo card arrived with my married name.
When you travel you have to show your passport and married certificate and like that you prove your new name in your Combo Card and so on.

After nearly 1 year of stress and many tears (may 5th 2017 filer) I was finally approved at Sydney Embassy on Tue !

Tue 24th interview 
Thursday 25th issued and collected for delivery. 
My tracking number says I will receive today. 
3 days from start to finish !
the gods were smiling down on us for the first time in this crazy journey 🙏
POE is 7th May, so spending my last week saying goodbye to my family and be very thankful ! 
 

My fiance interviewed today and was APPROVED!!!! I have been crying tears of joy since. Since the interview was scheduled last month, I had to disconnect myself from the site to maintain my sanity lol. I read past posts of visa denial and it was making me too anxious, so I had to focus on other things. It has been such a long road, just under a month to the day we applied for this. God is so good. I want to thank everyone for your advice and sharing your experiences. I know most of our group has been approved and even arrived to the states, but if anyone has questions for me please don't hesitate to ask.
 
I'm happy to move on to the next step of helping my fiance find a flight!!!!

It's been a long, tiresome day but WE ARE APPROVED!!!!!!

Hi friends!!
Thanks all of you for your help.
Finally I am here in the USA with my fiance, we are very happy
POE was very easy.
They asked 3 questions.
