Can someone help me please? I want to start the process for my mom - she is not in USA- what do I need to do? What forms? I’m so lost.. don’t know where to start. Thanks 

Hi. For biological mom, the process should be simple. The most important document you will want is your birthday certificate; You will fill out form I-130 Petition for aliens relatives.

I filed for my parents in Dec 2023. Progress on the portal says I should know the decision in 2 weeks. Anyone else seeing it ?

I do not see the progress tab anymore. It just shows that the case are actively being reviewed

Is it ok to follow this thread?

I filled in December 2023 for Mom and Dad; Doesn't seem as if much members filed in December.

I filed on 12-12-23 and 12-18-23. I received notification for both of them between yesterday and today, that the case is actively being reviewed. Petition is at Texas Service Center. 

Good luck to everyone!😊

Just received notification that my mom case is actively being reviewed; the progress update also changed to 2 months.

My dad case hasn't been updated since NOA.

Have you tried logging out then logging back in to start the second one ? 

Hey :). I did, and played around a little then I was able to do it. Thank you

Hi everyone! I hope everyone is doing great! 

I am filing I-130 for both of my parents. However, I just submitted an online application for the first parent, now I am trying to submit the second application but the page continues to redirect to the case page. So, does this mean I cannot submit the application for both parents from the same account?

I'd think your father's name on your certificate is sufficient. But others can correct.

Hi, OldUser. Thank you. I am so concerned 😬 I hope not. My father has always been in my life; you never see one of my parents without the other. I understand that I would have to gather the evidence if i have to, but the thought it is so frustrating already knowing we did not live our lives building trails of evidence thinking one day I will become a citizen of another country and I would file for them. 

Hi, everyone. I am getting ready to file for both of my parent. However, they have never been married but have been together over 50+ years. My Father name is on my birth certificate.  Do I still need to submit proof of that I was legitimated by my father before my 18th birthday; showing proof of financial and emotional support?

Yes

Thank you 🫠

🤪I know this may be a silly question and the answer is yes... Will I have to file separate i-130 for each parent?

You birth certificate, your naturalization certificate, all of yours and theirs lawful change of name documents, their marriage certificate.

 

Eventually they will need their own birth certificates and passports.

Thank you, Mike. I appreciate your help 😃

One crucial question that I missed. 
—what are the documents that I will need for the initial filing? Thank you 😊

Hi everyone. I’m not really new to this forum, I’ve gone through the K-via to citizen process but it’s been so long that I may have forgotten a lot of things along the way. 
So, here I am again. I am planning on filing for my Mom and Dad. I would really appreciate your help in getting started.

I will also do my research and review the guide. 
1. what is my first step, which form do I file? 
2. I know the timeline varies, but for

you know the average wait time? 

3. will they get a permanent residency or a ten year green card on approval! 
I really look forward to going through this process soon and share my expletive with you all. Thank you!  😃
