  1. Hi, my name is M and I am a USC. I would like to bring in my mother to the US to live here. I did not use any lawyer, as the situation was straight forward, however now I need some pointers as I feel a bit lost. The story of the process is as follows: I-130 e-filed 3/30/22 approved 4/4/22 NVC responds 4/8/22, all package sent to the NVC 5/24/22 Initially, interview scheduled for 1/4/23 However she was not able to come as she needed more time completing her vaccinations and passing the exam She completed her medical exam ~3/15/23, with multiple follow ups for TB. I contacted the consulate, rescheduled for May. Unable to follow up as I got family emergency (wife struck down with cancer) I am trying to pick the pieces together now and restart the process What part of consular processing do I re-start with? 1. Is I-130 still valid? How do I check? 2. Is the set of documents uploaded to NVC still valid? How do I check? 3. Is the immigration file still open? Any actions required to reopen it? 4. I assume the medical she did ~2/23 is no longer valid. Is this correct? Where do I restart the process to get her an immigration visa? I will appreciate any pointers.
  2. @milimeloThank you for the prompt reply. The main question remains if they will count 13 months from the day we relocate, or from the day the petition is filed? Job searching may take a while until the right fit is found. My understanding that they have to complete a number of background checks centrally, and then transfer the case to the local office. Completion of background checks roughly corresponds with approval for AP. So, if the move happens before AP approval, then the time to GC keeps counting without interruption. If the move, and therefore the transfer happens after AP approval, the case is most likely already in the local office and there might be some delay involved. Is my understanding correct?
  3. Please help understand if relocation will shorten adjustment of status procedure for us. Situation: K&M. K entered on B-1 visa 11/30/2021, Authorized stay until 5/29/2022 M is USC K&M got married 5/8/2022 in good faith. I-130/I-485/I-131/I-765 filed concurrently, receipt dated 5/27/2022 EAD received 7/13/2022 We specified San Francisco, CA as an office where we will go for an interview. Timeline for I-130 for the California Service Center was 10.5 months, I-485 for San Francisco was 29.5 months. Question 1: - What processing time applies to us? I-130 or I-485? Or something in between? Question 2: What if M finds another job in San Diego, and M&K move to San Diego. Processing time for I-485 in San Diego is 13 months. 2.A. Will the case be transferred to San Diego office? 2.B. If it is transferred, will the 13 months time be counted from receipt date or from submission date? 2.C. Any additional complications we are not aware of? Question 3: M is able to get a position in his current company which would require 3 weeks in SD/ 1 weeks in SF per month. Obviously, the main place of living is SD. M&K move to San Diego, M will travel. 2.A. Will the case be transferred to San Diego office? 2.B. If it is transferred, will the 13 months time be counted from receipt date or from submission date? 2.C. Any additional complications we are not aware of?
  4. Submitted I-130/I-485/I-765/I-131 for my wife. Submitted on paper to the Chicago lockbox. Receipts received within next week. Biometrics scheduled shortly thereafter. All forms were submitted with cover letters, ordered as requested by the USCIS, bound by easily disassemblable binders. and supporting documents of about 400 pages total. However, when I log in to my online USCIS account, and check the I-130 submitted I see some file attached in the section "your uploads". The file is named XXXX-part5.pdf. There is no part1, part2, part3, part4. The file has 28 pages. It contains a mix of pages from original submitted documents. Like: 1 page from affidavit1, Marriage certificate, 2nd page from affidavit2 translation, checking account documentation, page 2 from affidavit 1 etc. The number of pages in the file is significantly less than the number of pages submitted (28 vs ~200). Apparently, the lockbox stuff mangled our submission. Question: should we A. wait for RFE/NOID to submit copies of all the documents OR B. preventatively submit them as unsolicited evidence? When replying please give a reason for your answer. PS. Same story with I-765 in my wife's online account.
  5. No questions about this citation were asked during the interview.
  6. I understand what you're saying however this is not very helpful. There was a page on boundless regarding how to document such cases. Can not find it at the moment, but it involved a sworn affidavit of some witnesses. Anyway, at the current point I see 2 avenues: 1. Phila PD records 2. Sworn affidavit of couple witnesses 3. Forget about it, and hope that the statement from N-400 instructions: "You do not need to submit documentation for traffic fines or incidents that did not involve an arrest or did not involve drugs or alcohol, if the only penalty was a fine of less than $500 or points on your driving record." will be interpreted as: "You do not need to submit documentation for ... incidents that did not involve an arrest or did not involve drugs or alcohol, if the only penalty was a fine of less than $500 or points on your driving record" Anything else?
  7. That is my hope as well. However, how do people document those infractions when little written records are available? One more thing I will try is to connect to the Phila PD that issued the citation. They might have a record
  8. N-400 filed (5yr) Back in 2005, I got a fine in city of Philadelphia for putting the trash out 45 minutes before the allotted time. I paid it promptly ($25) and forgot about it. When filing for a GC, I asked my lawyer if I need to mention it. He said "You do". I mentioned it an I-485, got no RFEs, got approved without an interview (EB-2). Now, when filing N-400 I mentioned this minor fine at where you have to mention all the criminal record. Now, I realized I have no documentation whatsoever for this fine. I threw away original citation (was stupid back then). I paid by the check, just called my bank they have discarded check copies long ago. I called City of Philadelphia Street's department, and they do not have any violation reported on that date on this or neighboring blocks. When I asked the clerk over the phone as whether they can give me a certified answer that no records are available, they said "they do not think it is possible" Only "document" that I have is a photocopy of my hand-written check registry with the date and the check payed to "City of Philadelphia" What do I do? How do I document it for the naturalization interview? Besides this one, I have just 2 minor traffic tickets from long ago - 1 paid and 1 dismissed. Am I sweating too much?
