My mother filed for sister in november of 2010. she is a permanent resident i filed for her, now she filed for my sister. we got a letter in the mail the other day that it was approved and getting forwarded to nvc. guess now its time for the long wait. sister is under 21. anyone else at this process?

Hello,

I filed for my mother and she got her greencard and will be coming here in a few weeks. Does she have to be here for a while before she can file for my sister or can she just do it once she gets a job? my sister is 19.. thank you...

I just checked my email and saw that my moms case is complete as of 4/21/09 and her interview is scheduled for june 2, 2009 in nassau, bahamas.. Good luck to all those who are waiting...

oh i forgot to mention that you might have sent your birth certificate, or marriage certificate with the I130 and not the documents afterwards so who knows what they might have done with them.. originally i sent a copy of my birth certificate with i130 and not the original, so im not sure if thats why they want it now...

I got the same thing today through email with them requesting my birth certificate also, but I am just gonna send it in..... good luck..

you should look on the nvc website also it tells you what is required... http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3190.html

My wife is bringing her mom and pops here to the US. My wife is a USC and is acting agent for parents. I-130 has been approved, AOS fee paid, and DS-3032 sent. Concerning the I-864... can we just pay the DS-230 IV fee ($400) online and then send the DS-230 and I-864 together to the NVC? Any help much appreciated..

I have heard sending them separate is the best thing to do since DS230 and I864 are reviewed in different departments but I could be wrong.....it would make sense to send them together since both of them are going to the same address. I wouldn't take a chance if I were you though...

its right you have to send them separately. on the cover sheet it says attn: cmr aos, but im waiting for my other cover sheet for the ds-230 so i guess it makes sense to do that.. good luck...

thats what i plan on doing.. i just paid the $400 fee then im gonna mail them both together sometime next week. i think as long as you have a cover letter in front of each form it might be fine. good luck..

First of all, congratulations on your fast I130 approval.

I am also working on I-130 for my parents, they're in INDIA. Please let me know what type of documents you sent, cover letter sample etc.

Thanks,

Thank you all.. i pretty much just sent what they asked for on the form.. i filed for my mother, so i sent her birth certificate because her name changed due to marriage and marriage certificate because they wanted to make sure she was the same person on my birth certificate.. good luck to you..

I just wanted to share some good news with you folks... I just saw online that my case was approved 1/29/09.. I am so excited now on to the visa center..

I don't see whats the point of arguing.. Now that we know we have that option, we can choose to utilize it or let it go.. Its entirely up to the individual. We are here to learn things and if a person chooses not to follow someones advice then thats their own business.

When I took the oath ceremony the emphasis was really on informing Social Security. The did talk about getting a passport, and registering to vote but both these were kind of optional. However they again and again stressed on going first to the Social Security office and informing them of your change in status.

I have been a citizen since 1986 - I was never told that and I never informed SS - because they are irrelevant for me - my retirement is from a private institution. The SS card doesn't say anything about being a citizen on it either, does it?

You should read this:

You have to go to social security to change your status. all you have to do is bring your certificate and you will have to fill out a form and they mail you a new card with the same number. well they sent me a new card, i dont know if they do that for everyone. best of luck.

My interview is this coming April 10th.. Wish me luck guys... Thanks

Good luck to you too richie. its good to see the july filers finally moving...

There was a woman at my ceremony who filed in 2006 and she was surprised it took me about 7 months to complete my citizenship but I guess everyones situation is different. I wish your father the best..

Hello,

I just did my naturalization ceremony today so I am finally a citizen. Good luck to all who are waiting. I am just very happy its over and done with.....

Congrats

what did they ask you?

would u share with us please !

They didnt ask me anything. All i had to do was bring in my greencard and a sheet they gave me and checked off if there was any changes since my interview such as marriage, name change or travel out the country and provide proof. I signed my certificate then we had the ceremony which lasted about 40 minutes and they handed out the certificates to the 32 of us who were getting naturalized. Then they told us it was over and we all signed up to vote if we chose then we went home.

I don't understand why you guys havent received your interview dates yet. There are a few people who i saw filed after july that got their interviews but i guess its the location that's the issue.. once again, I wish you all the best..

Hello,

I filed vsc, I am just now waiting for my oath ceremony. Look at signature for my timeline. Good luck to all who are waiting..
