Yes, this is a complicated situation. I appreciate your suggiestions. I think I will have her apply for an I-131 and then we will see. She plans on moving in once all her children get their LPR. At this time, she cannot live in the states alone for medical and cultural purposes. I don't live in the states either to support her (Foreign Service). As to her child under 21, we were hoping he could make it first and then she can live with him until the other ones get their turn. He was born in July of 2003! Right now, according to the processing times of his I-130 which is currently sitting at California service center, his wait time is 2 years.

Hello friends, My mom applied for her 3 children under her IR5 status. She is currently in the States and the three petitions are pending now. 1 of the three children is under 21, but will age out next year. I am assuming he is protected under "child protection Act" if petition is not approved before, correct? Also, my mom cannot stay in the US as she needs to be back with her kids and her husband who is currently still working. What is the best option for her to avoid her residency abandobnment? I was thinking about submitting an application for re-entry permit (I-131). Thoughts on this? In the event that her residency was abandoned, will the petitions be dropped, or could the children still continue their immigration process? Thank you very much for any input.

I-130 for mother approved now what?
Ansbekk replied to zcorner19's topic in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America
Interesting, but VERY helpful!!! Thank you. Is this something requested for the interview, or during the NVC process as an upload? According to the link you shared, they are listed as pre-interview. I'd like to time everything, so I am hoping to get a sense of when this is needed based on your experience. Thanks a lot! -

Just received an email from the NVC with case account information. My online status also changed to "Case Was Sent to The DoS" -

Going through a similar process and stumbled upon your response. Thank you for that. Though, I have a question; Do we really need two criminal records? Based on their requirement, it seems like the court record is only required if convicted of a crime. Otherwise, only the police record is required (which expires in 90 days). Thoughts on that? Thanks! -

December 2021 NVC Submissions
Ansbekk replied to Shabaz's topic in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America
Sounds good. Well, now their current case creation timeframe is Jan 31st which is not bad at all! I am guessing it only takes a few days before we receive a NVC case number! Did you get a chance to work on the required civil documents? I am not sure what they mean by that! Thanks for the follow up btw!- 14 replies

So, your case was approved Dec 15 and got a NVC profile on December 20? According to their website processing times, they are a few months behind! My mom's I-130 was approved today.- 14 replies

Based on the DoS, they are processing applications submitted March 2007. You are within normal processing times, so you still got some years to go! -

Just a quick update here that the case was approved today (From Texas Service Center). My online status changed to "Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS", but in the documents tab, there is the approval notice. Very strange!!! Now the wait begins for the NVC and the US consulate. Please share your timing as you go through this so we can get a sense of how this goes from the DoS perspective. Thank you! -

N-400 Cleveland 2020 filers
Ansbekk replied to Réina17's topic in US Citizenship Case Filing and Progress Reports
Thank you. No appointment, nothing! The officer asked if I have an appointment, I said no and that I just had my ceremony. He was ok with making the order then. Same building, same floor, except different office. This is the office where they do interviews and stuff. The ceremony is held in a different room. As soon as you finish the oath and have your naturalization in hand, head to their main reception office and tell the front desk person that you would like X certified copies (they are free). If they asked about an appointment, just say "I just finished my oath and got my citizenship". They should be ok with that (they were for me!) You will wait some time as they make copies (About 15-20 mins), certify them in the system, press them, and then stamp them. You are good to go then! Fun fact if this helps anyone regarding social security. I used my passport card to update my social security. Sent it in the mail and was returned to me few days later. They updated my record to a citizen. Worst case scenario, card gets lost, I only have to spend about $25 to get it replaced versus the whole naturalization or the passport book which will cost a @*#& load of money. I hope this helped. -

Congrats!! That's Awesome. I hope that's the case. It seems like your status was changed immediately after you applied and it took about 3 months before it got approved. I hope it is not the case with me because I waited 3 months already. It is bizarre because my online status showed that it is Nebraska, but the notice came from Potomac. Exactly like @zcorner19's case. You can never know where your case is according to these changes! I just hope this whole process goes as fast as everyone hopes for. Thank you and keep us posted on any updates especially when you get to the National Visa Center. We can learn a lot for each other's experiences. -
