Hi Guys,

Could anyone please tell me how long it takes to get the results of the medical tests after it is done at Mumbai?. Expecting an  interview to be scheduled  at the Mumbai consulate probably in a couple of months or so. Since we  live abroad and will be having a very tight schedule as to the time we have to get everything done like the  medicals , biometrics etc at Mumbai,  I would  like to get an exact estimate as to how many days all this will take to get it done and be ready with the results so that we can plan for our travel accordingly . Biometrics, I believe only needs a couple of days isn't it?

Better check with doctor. In my case 4 days.

Would you mind keeping all related i485/i130 questions to one thread. You have several threads going, and it gets confusing as member have to go back and forth to provide a well-informed response. Besides, duplicate threads are messy. 

Thanks for the suggestion. However they are different questions for different forms. Also in each of the new thread, I tried provide enough information to avoid confusion.

Hi, I have a further question for form485, Part3, Q1 "Have you ever applied for an immigrant visa to obtain permanent resident status at a U.S. Embassy of U.S. Consulate abroad".

My uncle filed I130 petition for my father 10 years ago. Now the case is in NVC. I am current apply green card for my father. Should I answer YES or NO for that question?

Also for I-485, for my father's employment history, if my father retired for more than 5 years, can I just put "Retired" in employment history? Thanks!

hi

 

yes you can pay with check, money order or credit card

 

 

Hi, thanks for the reply. So I can pay for my father's application using my personal check, is that correct?

Hi,

I am applying green card for my father. I would like to pay with check. Since my father doesn't have bank account here, can I pay use my personal check for all the fees?

USCIS website mentioed "please use personal check with your name and phone number printed". 

If not, what is the suggested payment method?

Many thanks in advance!

Also for I-485, for my father's employment history, if my father retired for more than 5 years, can I just put "Retired" in employment history? Thanks!

Hi,

I am applying green card for my parents. I am citizen and the petitioner.

Do I  need to file G325-A form? Previous before the i130 expansion the G325 is required. Now it doesn't say so. However last year my friend got RFE for G325, not only for her parents, but also for herself.

Please help. Thanks!

It’s totally fine to have two petitions running parallel (I did). Whichever one gets current first will be actioned, and the other will lapse once the beneficiary has a green card.  There is no benefit to withdrawing the existing petition so I’d just leave it.

 

And yes, the question is just “filed” so yes is the correct answer.

hi

 

nope, there is nothing wrong with that petition, siblings petitions take 14 years to over 20 years depending on the country, they give out very few visas per year, so that's why it takes a very long time

Just answer yes and write an brief explanation on additional page. You know that there was a petition filed for him saying no is probably considered as a lie.

 

My wife was aged out as a derivative very long ago and I just said yes and note about it. My wife also got rejected on several non-immigration visa applications. During her interview, they did not ask about any of these.

 

#1. Your uncle does not need to do anything.  It will not impact your petition for your father.

 

#2. You can write brief explanation.

 

Thanks for all the answers above!

I have one more question here for I130, Part4, item53:

Was the beneficiary EVER in immigration proceedings?

Should I answer YES or NO? Maybe I would better open a new thread for this question

Yes it’s the norm. Sibling visa wait times are 13-20 years depending on country of origin. 

Thanks for the info! And this is also fine for my father to have two petitions, is that correct? The immigration lawyer of my company suggested to withdraw my uncle's petition. 

However I think that doesn't affect answering YES to the question "Has anyone else ever filed a petition for the beneficiary?". YES means there was a previous petition, no matter what the results are.

Thanks!

Thanks VNN! So YES should be the answer and I will write a brief on additional page. Btw, do you think the more than 10 years waiting for my uncle's petition case is a norm? My father is thinking maybe the that case was rejected so there is no update for so long.

I am a U.S. Citizen and I am filling I-130 petition for my father.

My uncle (my father's brother) is also a U.S. Citizen. He filed I-130 petition for my father 10 years ago. Several years ago, my father received a letter from NVC telling him  "A visa number is unavailable and this petition is not eligible for further processing". Also in the letter there is a NVC case number.

For the question "Has anyone else ever filed a petition for the beneficiary?", I am not sure about the answer. I don't know about the case progress at all for about 10 years. Should I answer YES or NO?

And if I should answer YES, do I need to explain my uncle's petition in the attachment? Will my uncle's petition affect my sponsoring to my father? Should my uncle withdraw the petition? And if need to withdraw, how to do this?

Many thanks in advance! Thank you all!
