    Filed I130 and missing document

    in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America

    Posted

    Hi all,

    I got the receipt number. It said it's sending to Nebraska Service center. Should I send the document to Chicago or Nebraska?

    Thanks again.

    Belinda

    I may be wrong, but if I am you, I would wait til I receive the RFE. I imagine they would have a separate stack of files whom they requested RFE from. So if you just send it out without them requesting for it, it may get lost.

    That's just my theory though. Somebody here may have a first-hand experience with this type of issue.

    Good luck!

    2014 - IR-5 Timeline

    in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America

    Posted

    Why on earth would you go and start a new thread? We have an existing thread that is perfectly functional and is to be used for all users. If there are multiple threads and someone posts a question, it may get missed. People have been asking me questions over multiple threads and it is just because I have had pm alerts that folks had asked questions that I seen them. Lets stick with the original thread please.

    Collie, I'd like to be able to see/compare timelines between ONLY 2014 filers that I have seen changes in timeframe lately. Thanks!

    2014 - IR-5 Timeline

    in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America

    Posted

    I'd like to start a new thread for everyone who submuitted their I-130 Petition for Parents (IR-5) in 2014. I know there is already an IR-5 Timeline thread, but I've noticed that the timeframe for the processing have changed lately, also the IR-5 Timeline has so many entries already.

    I feel that it'll be helpful for us new filers to see the timeline with around the same time of submission. Please feel free to add your timeline for all the 2014 IR-5 filers.

    Thanks!

    I wouldn't suggest stopping the check. I don't know what will happen if you do, but the idea doesn't sound good to me. Worst case you would get is an RFE and it doesn't necessarily mean a 5-months delay as I've seen a lot of people here, even myself got an RFE (with my own visa processing), but got into the process as soon as they received the missing document.

    Take a deep breath. Watch for the mail and respond to it with your proof of citizenship. Good luck!

    Correction to my post. It was too late for me to edit.

    It does NOT hurt to try. Only bad thing that could happen is they wont let you in without the appointment letter. This is possible if you live in Manila but for my parents in Davao, we have to have everything before we show up for the appointmen/exam.

    Thank you lovers0720.. I check VJ Cambodia embassy, police certificate is only vaid for 3 months.

    You're welcome khmerguy. Good luck!

    my mom is from mindanao, davao city also.. the important is the case no.

    that's what i am gonna do to my mom advance medical after i paid online :-)

    so far in my case wayback 2009 no problem smile.png

    Sheila-Todd, magkababayan pala tayo! dancin5hr.gif Let me know how it goes. Good luck!

    1) is the below the same?

    • Original NBI Clearance
    • Original Police Clearance

    In the Philippines, they're different. Police Clearance is a City Criminal Record while NBI is the Country's.

    2) In Cambodia it will take a month or so to have NBI clearance and about a month to mail and get it here in US. What is a good time to have my parents do there NIB? how long does it valid?

    As far as I've seen, the petition's timeframe is between 2-3 months. So for me, I'll have them get the it as soon as you send the petition.

    3) Medical exam: As a partitioner, do i need orginal of my parents medical exam to mail to NVC along with these

    • Form DS-230 (Send parents FORM for them to sign and return with below documents)
    • Original NSO birth certificate
    • Original NSO marriage certificate (1 for each)
    • Copy of biographic page of PASSPORT
    • 2X2 photos (2 for each)
    • Original NBI Clearance
    • Original Police Clearance

    Check your country's US embassy's visa application, as it may be a different process with regards to how the Medical Exam result is being sent. In the Philippines, the clinic will forward the applicant's results to NVC before the interview.

    I will be soon applying for a petition for my parents to be able to come over here in US. And I have created the guide below for my reference which hopefully could help fellow applicants who just applied or soon be applying IR-5 for their parents. Also, I hope to get suggestions from those who've been through the process.

    Documents on Petitioning Mother

    in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America

    Posted

    Hi so my oath taking is on August 5th, and I'm gathering all the documents needed for petitioning my mother in the Philippines, can you guys check if this is all i have to submit? let me know if im missing stuff.

    Form I-130

    Application Fee $420

    My Birth Certificate

    Certification of Naturalization ( getting on Aug. 5th)

    My Marriage Certificate (due to name change)

    Passport Photos

    G-1145

    i've took passport photos like 2 months ago , is it still valid to submit? or do i have to get new passport photos again? Im planning to submit these documents after my oath taking. And also, what documents should my mom submit during these processing? can you guys list everything! I am so excited. Thank you!!! smile.png

    Hi Mikeylla!

    I am taking oath on Aug 6th and will be petitioning my parents soon after that.

    I did my research - browse through forums, read form instructions in USCIS, NVC, etc.

    For submitting the I-130 petition, you would need these:

    • Form I-130
    • Your birth certificate
    • Your Certificate of Naturalization
    • Your marriage certificate
    • Check for $420 payable to: U.S. Department of Homeland Security
    • Form G-1145, E-Notification

    No need for photos. Nor marriage certificate, as your birth certificate alone will serve as a proof of your relationship with your mother.

    Good luck!

    Please keep me posted.

    BOTH PARENTS - AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT

    in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America

    That form can be used only if you are able to answer yes to all of the questions at the very beginning of the form.

    My answer to first 2 questions is YES. Not too sure about the 3rd question:

    "The sponsored immigrant is the only person immigrating based on the underlying visa petition".

    I will be petitioning/sponsoring both my parents, which is in separate i-130. So my answer is yes, right?

    Thanks again!
