Hi, im petitioning my brother for b2 visa. He is 17 yr old and currently in senior high. He is from philippines.

May I ask the things he need to bring to the interview.

this is what she was convicted of 

Section 12. Possession of Equipment, Instrument, Apparatus and Other Paraphernalia for Dangerous Drugs. - The penalty of imprisonment ranging from six (6) months and one (1) day to four (4) years and a fine ranging from Ten thousand pesos (P10,000.00) to Fifty thousand pesos (P50,000.00) shall be imposed upon any person, who, unless authorized by law, shall possess or have under his/her control any equipment, instrument, apparatus and other paraphernalia fit or intended for smoking, consuming, administering, injecting, ingesting, or introducing any dangerous drug into the body: Provided, That in the case of medical practitioners and various professionals who are required to carry such equipment, instrument, apparatus and other paraphernalia in the practice of their profession, the Board shall prescribe the necessary implementing guidelines thereof.

The possession of such equipment, instrument, apparatus and other paraphernalia fit or intended for any of the purposes enumerated in the preceding paragraph shall be prima facie evidence that the possessor has smoked, consumed, administered to himself/herself, injected, ingested or used a dangerous drug and shall be presumed to have violated Section 15 of this Act.

She was jailed for 1yr and 4 months

there is no waiver for that, if they deny her visa?

she was convicted of drugs (Meth)

My mom's I30 is approved. We are just waiting for her interview date in Manila embassy.

She has criminal background. She was convicted 7 years ago. she was in jail for 2 years and was released. but she was convicted. 

I know this is a ground for inadmission. I wonder if there are any here who had the same situation and was able to bring their loved ones in USA.

It’s two separate petitions. Each of them needs their own everything. 

thank you

Hi, Im filing concurrently (I30, I485), for my mother and father who are already here in USA. Im filing the I30 online, and will file the I485 by mail.

My question is, do I need to file two I-30's and two I485? or just one I30 and I485 for both of them?

are there other things I should file while filing concurrently?

Thank you!

I am a bit confused, and I hope somebody here can help me. here's my story.

My mom came to USA as work Visa 25years ago, me and my dad was with her. We came to USA legally. My mom did not finish her contract, our visa expired but we stayed and live with our relatives. 

I applied DACA when I reached 18, married a USC, become a permanent resident, and now I'm a USC.

I wanted to file for greencard for my parents. What forms do I file? 

Thank you!

Does it really take this long?

I take it you were inspected on your last entry?

Yes, I enter this country when I was 11yrs old. MY Mother had a working visa then. She brought me and my dad with her. After 2 years, my mom had to quit her job and she could not renew it with other companies. Then when I was 25, DACA became available and I applied for it.

Hi, I applied for concurrent filing  last March 2018. My EAD and AP was approved August 2018. Until now my case is still "Ready to be scheduled for interview."

Anybody here who are under DACA and applying for AOS still? Pls share your stories.

I filed March 1. We did concurrent filing. Im a DACA married to USC. Im done with biometrics. Aside from “fingerprints were completed” for work permit and “case ready to be scheduled for interviews”, since april, we havent heard of anything yet. It seems like mostly here got their work permit already. My current work permit is expiring on September, it worries us so much.

My wife came on a K-1 and I am a USC.

DACA has no impact on an EAD issued due to AOS. You would fall into the same bucket as anybody else doing AOS with an immediately current Priority Date.

Thank you.

GEOWRIAN - did you go through the same process? Are you DACA married to USC?

Hi, I have a DACA work permit expiring September 2018.

 I filed my AOS, and work permit last March 1, 2018. Biometrics done April 2018.

How long does it sually take to get approved for the work permit based on marriage to USC?

Our package was received 3/2/18. We did not get any notfications yet. But today, our check has been cashed but no notifications yet. I called USCIS and told me that we wait at leas ta month and call again if we don't hear anything from them. Anybody in the same situation? Is this normal?

Hello everybody!

We sent our package yesterday (3/1/18). We are doing concurrent filing (I-130, I-485, work permit, and AP). Hopefully everything works out.

when did you file? We sent ours (concurrent filing of I-130, I-485, and I-765) just yesterday March 1, 2018. How long until they cash your check?

Hi, I entered USA legally, H4. My mother brought us here, and unfortunately her visa expired. I overstayed, and finally got a working permit through DACA. Now, I'm married to a USC. We are going to file for AOS this week. My working permit will expire on October 2018. Should I apply for renewal for work permit together with AOS this week, or I should just apply for AOS. I'm not sure if I can apply as early as now for renewal of work permit. But once it expires on October, I can't renew it anymore through Daca.
