I petition for my married sister in December 2009. I received I-797C and I-797 but I lost my I-797.

1. Do I need that I-797 to do next step or NVC will contact me for instruction on the step? Is it okay for me without my I-797?

2 My sister have another child after I filed I-130. What form do I need to update the case? what are documents do I need?

Please give me advice on this case. Thanks

I had a question and was hoping for some help. I entered the US in Nov 29 on a K1 fiancee visa. With this visa I don't have employment authorization or permanent residency or anything (yet). I applied about a month ago for EAD and AOS. I am a Canadian Citizen. A friend of mine (US citizen) had been discussing starting an LLC once I arrived in the US, and that's what we did. In early Dec 09 we filed the formation of our LLC with the State of Michigan. During 2009 the company had no profits, expenses, revenue...anything. We simply filed papers. Do I have to do anything personally for my taxes this year to reflect this? Does an individual LLC member have to file taxes if all the boxes would have a zero in it? Let me state again, all we did was file the paperwork with the state. We made no transactions, received no money and had no expenses whatsoever in 2009. Our operating agreement states that at this time I'm a passive member of the company and not involved in the day-to-day operations of the company. We will add an amendment to this after I receive my EAD and AOS.

And help would be great!

You only file tax when you make any income. For your statement above you didn't receive any money from LLC then you don't have to file any tax.

However if you like, you can file tax with your wife together as a couple. She could claim you in her tax so it will help her to reduce her tax for the year.

hello guys..

question about list of immidiate relatives in form 1130, does she need to put her name even shes the petitioner, her parents was divorce does she need to put her mom name. and what she need to put the relationship ex wife. or what?

For immediate relative, if she petition her mother............then put only her mother name and relationship (write mother).

In the separate petition she can do same thing for her father if she would like to petition him as well.

Hello everybody!

My fiance and I are reviewing the whole package before sending.

My fiance was born in Vietnam and lived there with his family (all of them vietnamese) for 7 first years of his life. Then his family was sponsorized and their life in the US started.

His parents had naturalization and my fiance and his brothers had the citizenship so he has his citizenship certificate. The question is...since he has a citizenship so he is US CITIZEN certificate, does he have an A# ? (for the I-129F and G-325A forms)

Thank you all!!!

God bless

I put US Citizen in that question

Q: what is the timeline from this point?

Q: can her sister bring the child?

No. Cannot petition

Hi all,

I've seen a few posts about upgrading I-130 petitions and all that but 1) didn't want to hijack someone's topic and 2) some have been going for years w/ lots of variations so it gets confusing. But basically, here's my situation:

I'm an LPR who will be filing N400 (citizenship) in March. I was thinking of filing the I-130 in February and then waiting for citizenship to upgrade later. I've seen on here and heard that the upgrades can be fairly quick but then there are some timelines where it takes months for the upgrade to occur. The lawyer I consulted also said that the upgrading is a waste of time and to just file when I'm a citizen.

So...I'm throwing this question out to all of you wonderful VJers: what do you think? Is it worth applying as an LPR now? Or shoud I just wait to become a citizen?

Thanks! (and also sorry if this question is so repetitive and thus, boring).

If you think you can pass and get US citizen less than 5 months then go head and wait to do it without upgrade latter. Otherwise file i-130 right now is a better option for your kid because you don't have to wait another 5 or 6 months to start to file with USCIS after you get your US citizen. My sister had the same case as you right now. She filed i130 for her child while she was green card holder. The USCIS approved her daughter case and sent it to NVC. Then after my sister got her citizenship, she upgraded with NVC by sent out the proof-copy of citizenship certificate. And just a few day later, she received a letter from NVC to process her daughter case right away. Good luck to you

Back story: I am a US citizen and Married my wife who was from Thailand. She had a daughter with a man whom she never married.

I already got documents from the Thai government saying he was out of the picture, does not supply any support, and that my wife has full custody of her. (She is currently only 3 years old)

I'm about to send off the DS 230 form and I noticed Questions 19 through 23.

It asks for his Name and Date of birth, which I can get off her Birth Certificate. But then it asks for Place of Birth and Current address. Would it be ok to put N/A on either of these?

I'm assuming his place of birth is the same city my daughter is original from, but as for current address, I have no idea nor have a way to find out.

Anyone have a similar issue when filling out DS-230 for a minor where the minor's parent is a single parent?

Put "Unknow" you can also attach a separate piece of paper explain that you or your wife has no contact with him currently, and you don't know where he went or live right now. They will accept it if it sound reasonable. Good luck

From my knowlege, Permanant Residence is not allow to petition for married son/daughter.

Also not allow the US Citizen petitions married son/daughter when the son/daughter got marry before the parent become a US Citizen.

Sorry, I don't want to disappoint you or anything............I hope what I know it's wrong, because some info for discussion online it's not 100% right.

Sorry to hear that. Just wonder how long do you receive a denial letter after filed.

I did petition for my married sister too. The only proof relationship that we have it's our birth certificate with a common mother name on both BC.

I like to hear and share your story too. I don't have experience bout EOIR-29. Hope someone in this room can help. God bless you.

Hi everyone,

my wife is about to file i-130 for her father, we have all the forms and doc ready. However, she has a concern regarding her father's current residency issue. Her father was born in China and he is still a Chinese citizen, but he moved to Hungary back in 1996 and lived there since then with a permanent resident card (they call it blue card). Therefore, will he be scheduled for a interview in China or Hungary? What about contact information?

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi,

I have a question about section D on the I 130 form. I have filed I 130 for both my parents a month ago and I have received I 797C receipt, now I want to file I 130 for my brother and I am struggling with the questions on section D.

1- If separate petitions are also being submitted for other relatives, give names of each and relationship.

Does that mean if I am submitting other I 130 applications simultaneously with this one or if I have already filed other ones or both. In other words should I put the names of my parents or not?.

2- Have you ever before filed a petition for this or any other alien? Yes No

If yes, give names, place and date of filing and result.

On this question should I answer yes and put the names of my parents and the dates filed and say that the result is pending or should I answer no.

Can anyone help me answer these two questions?

Thanks,

medootoo

1. Write N/A. (if you only petition your brother at this time)

This one I'm not 100% sure, so wait for other post to make sure.

I filed N-600, application for certificate of citizenship on December 18, 2009 and it had been 31 days but I haven't receive any notice from USCIS local office. I did check my via mail status( mail delivered on Dec.21). Now I find out that I made an error on the first and middle name by putted in wrong order. Can someone please give me an advice on how to correct this error. I cannot contact the NCSC because I don't have the receive number yet and the USCIS local office don't have phone number to contact. Any suggestion? Thanks

I have a question abou i-134 I am using a sponser with this because last year I did not make enough. I just got a job a comple months ago make a decent amount. My question is on the i-134 it asks for current annual income. Do I put what I made before? What I have made up to now this year? Or what I will make at this job as long as I stay employed there? I am a bit confused on this anyone can help ? Thanks

I don't think they let you use the sponsor for I -134 for affidavit support. Check this again to make sure.

I did the same thing that you did. So you're all set. Donot redo it.

Question: I had filled out the I-134 and sent it to my fiancee to be ready for the interview ASAP. Then, his packet arrived at the embassy. The I-134 in the packet has a barcode. Does that mean I must fill out the copy in the packet? Or is it ok that I already sent it?

If I do need to fill out the one from the packet, we'll have to use snail mail again...

I would like to hear from any other Dec 15 (or other Dec 2009 dates) if you received a white slip and why?

what questions were asked at your interview?

My wife went 15 Dec 2009 and receive a white slip requesting other documents.

We provided those documents that day and they told us to again, wait.

I also gave them a letter from my mother's doctor about her cancer and chemotherapy treatments,

this could be our last Christmas with her and she has never met my wife. I asked them if they could expedite and also use the phone to call my wife if they need anything else, or email.

I also asked our Congressman to please help us.

I call but they have nothing to say but our consular is reviewing.

Any Idea how long?

I would love for my wife to spend the holidays with my Mother. We need a Christmas miracle.

I catch myself praying every minute they need nothing else and our consular has compassion to our case.

Thank you,

M of M and M

Sorry to hear your story, but at this moment nobody can help you to approve your case any faster not even congressman. It's all depend on consular. They review so many case in order" first come first serve". I can't tell you exactly how long you have to wait. However from my experience from the pass few years, my husband and I had to wait about 6 months after we supported all documents as they requested. I saw some case approve less than a month, but some case have to wait longer than mine case.

So whatever going on. I will pray for you both. I hope your wife will come soon.

You will receive a letter from NVC. They will give you an instruction to pay a couple of bills, one at a time, pay either online or mail it out , and they will request any missing documents from you and/or your kid before they sent it to US consulate in your country for the interview.

Ps. I remember that they also ask.... your kid pick an Agent( agent can be the parent if you would like to do that), sign that paper and sent it back to NVC.

good luck

One last question for this topic.

The child is automatic a US Citizen for now. After she receives her green card in the next three months.

1.Can she applies for her US passport right away after that?

2.Or she needs to apply the N-600 (proof of Citizenship) before she applies for the US passport?

Do both

Another issue may be any unmarried children under age 21 that your sister may have. If they turn 21 years old before the Priority Date becomes current, they can age out. The petition by your mom could get approved in 1 year while the one you file may be approved in 8 years (or vice versa). The one with the longer approval time will be the better one if your sister has any kids that will be over 21 when they are eligible for visas.

This part I don't get it. It's so confuse. Why F4 petition better, because it has longer approval time than the F3?

So you mean if the F4 approval after my sister kid turn 21 years old. They will eligible to come with my sister?

Can adult US Citizen petition married sister? (if US Citizen and the sister are related through only biological mother) not both parent.

F3- processing time is around 10 years. So F4 is about the same time, it maybe a year or 2 longer right?

I'm still confuse about the F3 and F4 case if members of VJ have experience about these two different case. Please give me more information about it.

Hi Hanh,

A US citizen can file for a sibling as long as they have at least one parent in common. See the Guides. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...p;page=ussibpet

The process is very similar between F3 (USC petitioning for a married child) and F4 (USC petitioning for a sibling). File Form I-130 with proof of a family relationship. The petition would include the sibling, the sibling's spouse, and unmarried children under age 21.

Read the Guides. They are pretty good.

Thank you very much for your help Aaron.

You're very helpful. I feel much lighter now, I was worry so much. Because I'm not sure that I qualify for the F4. Now I know for sure that I have 2 options to do either I do F4 or let my mom does F3. But I think I will go with F3.

As a US Citizen petition for a child -IR2

After the child enter United State. The child needs apply for SS number. Then next step to do, it's filing N-600 to become a US Citizen right?

This info I got and understand from reading post and did research. I hope some one can advice me the next step to do or let me know if this info is correct.

Thanks.

The child is automatically a citizen upon entering the US with an immigration visa if the child is under age 18 and residing with a US citizen parent. The child needs a SSN. Form N-600 is a request for a certificate of citizenship which is merely evidence of the child's US citizenship.

At port of entry in Chicago. The officer told the 16 years old child that she will receive the green card within 3 months. So i thought that she becomes permanent resident only. Therefore she needs to file N-600 for her citizenship.

So you said that she is automatic become a citizen right?
