Thanks. We’ll look into this matter more later on. Just successfully submitted the I-130 form.

Thanks a lot. I’ve submitted the I-130 form and am currently in the waiting phase.

yes, it took ~2w for my parents too..

Thanks. I hope California offers better healthcare coverage for new elderly immigrants. My parents will be joining me here next year. Hopefully, I’ll find the most suitable and affordable healthcare for them with by the time they arrive.

Thank you. Are my answers for second question in this thread correct? Thanks. I will upload that letter. What do you think about my answers for my second question in the thread?

Hi everyone, Many years ago, my sister-in-law, a U.S. citizen, filed an I-130 petition for my wife. Unfortunately, the petition was denied because there was no response within the specified timeframe. This was due to my sister-in-law having moved to another country and not receiving the Request for Evidence (RFE). She learned about the situation after contacting USCIS in 2016. I am currently in the process of submitting a new petition for my wife. Should I include the letter my sister-in-law received from USCIS in 2016, explaining the reason for the denial of her I-130, in the additional information for the following question? And one more question about this form: my wife is married to me only and we both don't have children. Should I fill in my own information from 21a to 22 for Spouse 1, write 'N/A' for #23a of Spouse 2, and 'None' for 25a of Person 1, and leave everything else blank, including Person 2-5?

My cousin sponsored her siblings Oct 2007 and haven’t got their visas yet. They are from Vietnam.

8.5 months for a police certificate. Oh my!

Thanks. I will.

Thanks. I will.

Thank you. No, she is not here. I won’t submit hers..

I've included the link in my original post, but I might also attach a screenshot from the USCIS site where I found confusing information. According to the instructions for filling out Form I-130, is the passport photo requirement waived because my wife is not in the US?

Hi VJ members, I've been reviewing the checklist before submitting the I-130 standalone. Is the passport-style photos applicable for me only (USC) since my wife (the beneficiary) is residing outside the US? https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-130instr.pdf I'm not sure since I also follow these steps:

My mom came for a visit for almost two months from Toronto Pearson June this year and no questions asked. Her I-130 just got approved last month. She came to visit me twice while her I-130 was pending.

Thanks. 😊

Hi everyone, My parents are immigrants and they have been living in Canada for more than 10 years. They have been visiting backhome a couple times during the last 10 years but never stayed there over a duration of one to two months. They are Canadian citizens for more than 7 years now and they are in their 70s. Their I-130 form got approved recently and we are not sure if they have to go back home to ask for their police certificates there as well as the ones from Canada? I've looked at this requirement and got confused a bit. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I've been searching for answers here on this forum, but unfortunately, I haven't had any success so far. I have a question regarding the process of filing taxes for both of us while the I-130 form is still in the processing stage. I am a Canadian residing in Ontario, and my husband lives in California, holding U.S. citizenship. We are both employed full-time in our respective locations and have never lived together. We are about to embark on the CR1 visa journey following our marriage certificate. It is likely that the I-130 will still be pending approval by the end of the next tax season, so we are seeking guidance on how to handle our tax returns while we are separated. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
