Important Notice on Missing Documents: If a required document is unavailable per the country-specific guidelines, you do not need to scan the document into your CEAC. However, if you cannot obtain a required document for another reason, you must submit a detailed written explanation to NVC when you scan your other documents. During your visa interview, the consular officer will determine whether you must obtain the missing document before a visa can be issued. As a general rule, any document that is listed as “available” on the country-specific guidelines must be reviewed by a consular officer. Failure to obtain all required documents will delay your case.

Hello everyone. My mom’s I-130 has been approved and I’m trying to upload documents for the NVC stage. My parents marriage certificate is required to be upload. My parents does not have marriage certificate as they had customary wedding 35 years ago and no marriage certificate was issued. How do I go about this? Thank you 

I am about to start my mom’s IR5. Will DNA be required in USCIS stage? Asking to avoid RFE so I submit it along with the paperwork

Thank you

So, I got a RFE in the mail? My husband is in the process of bringing his mom to the states. The RFE stated that my husbands birth certificate was registered 23 years after he was born. The reason for this is Ghana has changed their system and he didn't have his old birth certificate so he had to get a new one. But , the RFE stated we can also get a voluntary DNA test in addition to the primary support we will send as reason why he has this birth certificate. My actual question is; Is it worth it to get a DNA Test done?

What stage of the process did he receive RFE USCIS or NVC?

Birth Certificate yes after all this is showing that she is your Mum

Marriage Certificate no, she was never married

My birth certificate or my moms?

You will need the BC when you submit the I130 to prove your relationship to your mother, so right at the first stage of filing for her.  When you fill out the I130, I assume online, there will be a place to upload a scanned copy of the BC.

 

Good Luck!

Mine or my moms BC?

I am a USC and applying for immigrant visa for my mom. She is currently in Nigeria! What stage of the process do we need her birth certificate? Also, she and my dad got married traditional, no marriage license was issued. I lost my dad few year ago. Is marriage certificate required at any point in the process for my mom? Thank you

I-130 is the only form needed.

 

You also need these pieces of evidence:

 

* your evidence of U.S. citizenship. 
 

* your birth certificate

 

* if her name does not match that of her birth certificate, her lawful change of name document(s)

 

Photo copies only.

Thank you. Do I need to upload my birth certificate or my moms?

I am in the process of filing I-130 for my mom. I am a US citizen! What documents do I need? Just want to sure, so I avoid RFE. The process already is lengthy, thank you

With a pending I-751 since March 2019, I am hoping for a combo interview!!!!!  It's time to end this journey.

N-400 interview scheduled for Dec 14th in Dallas!!!!!

Just had mine Monday it was a combo interview. Good luck to you guys.

A web search for what happens when you take oath  with I-751 pending comes  up empty so far. I don’t know what happens. For example can USCIS summarily denaturalize you if you take oath before I-751 is approved?

 

Or does taking oath  legally imply a pending I-751 is approved?
 

I would schedule a consultation with an attorney a week before your oath to get advice. 

My question is does taking oath legally imply a pending I-751 is approved?

Hey guys. I had a combo interview Monday November 8th and was told I passed both interview and if additional documents is needed for my removal of condition that I would be contacted.  My status on I-715 shows Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken. It was last updated 392 days ago and for the N-400 shows Oath Ceremony Notice Was Mailed. Should I be worried? 
Thanks

You may want to provide new evidence of your bonafide marriage including the latest joint tax transcripts generated since you filed the i751. Maybe the last year or so of shared bank record, since your i751 was filed, new purchases, any new children in the relationship, additional travel together...

 

Add anything new that may be helpful to i751 and n400 cases, both require proof that you and your spouse are together as a married couple over the past 3 years or so.

 

In our case our interview was 2 years after filing our i751 and one year after filing our n400 so there was plenty of additional good faith evidence to add to our case.

I will be taking the new evidence to my interview. Is there a way to upload them?

On 10/10/2022 at 6:57 PM, da95826 said:

1) Most likely yes you will have a combo interview, we did for our case and no they did not indicate on the n400 invitation it was a combo interview so you can not tell for sure whether or not it was a combo interview.

2) Yes, bring your spouse and updated evidence of a bona fide marriage. Be prepared to do both an i751 and n400 interview

3) You should bring what they are asking for. USCIS prefers a US birth certificate or naturalization certificate. You need to prove that your spouse is a US citizen for 3 years or more and a US passport doesn't really do that.

Thank you. Your answer to question 2. What do you mean by update evidence of a bona fide marriage?
