Married2009 - LPR's can petition for unmarried son/daughter.

milimelo - Country China(how long is it for this country?), we filed 18months ago, got petition acceptance notice in 15 months.

How does NVC know that the benficiery(19yr old brother) has 2 petitions for him(one from the USC sister and one from a LPR parent?)

Do they find it and append it altogether?

aleful - i didnt want to change the petition, I was thinking that when the parents(LPR) peititoned the son, the 15months waiting by the USC would count towards the priority date, isnt that how it works? my main concern is to be able to lock in his age.

USC filed for sibling was around 18months from today, dont have exact date, not at home right now. Country is CHINA.

the child is UNmarried and under 21 right now.

Hi all,

First of all, I want to thank all the members from this forum, we have gotten real far in our journey, lots of help from here.

Question:

a USC files for her brother, 10+yrs wait time right? or something like that...

Now that the parents have come to the USA and are LPR, we want to change the original petitioner from USC for the sibling to be LPR for their unmarried 19year old son.

I believe this cuts it down a few years in the timeline.

*currently the status of the USC-sibling petition has been accepted as of MAY2010 (does this mean the age is frozen so the brother never ages out?) i'm still a newbie at this aging out issue.

Please advice where to start,

thanks

Ben

Hi all,

I really hope that someone can shed some light on this issue.

my wife(a USC) filed for her parents in Guangzhou, China and at their interview recently, they were denied the visa due to 212(a)(4), which is public charge.

My wife has not worked CONSTANTLY in the past because we had 2 kids in the last 2 years. so her work history is gappy, months here and there.

I being the co-sponsor and also included my information have worked for 5 years with the same company. recently making 41,000 a year.

we have 2 kids and plus the parents, that would make me support 6 people total....(unless I did the math wrong and 41k cant qualify, then I screwed up)

We have 2 people who would jump in to co-sponsor, but at the time we I didnt feel we needed them, assuming my math was correct

Now the guangzhou officer checked the box that says "A different and/or additional co-sponsor will not effect your application" box.

The office also checked the box that says the sponsoring support is not credible????

I also just called some free anonymous immigration hotline and the guy on the other line said that my wife being without work history was NOT suppose to be the main sponsor and that I was to be, even though they are her parents...is this true?

Anyone out there have any idea how to approach this issue?

thanks

Ben
