  1. each G-325A requires a photo - one for you, one for her.

    Petitioner = USC (Reread checklist 12, see where it applies to YOU, the petitioner )

    you don't need a G-325As in I130 filing for your mother. you need this if you are filing for your spouse.YOu only need these,

    -Form 1130

    -copy of your naturalization certificate,

    -your birth certificate to show that she is your mother

    -fee $355

  3. I am a us citizen and going to file a i-130 petition for my mother. To bring my mother to live in the United States, i have to give a copy of my birth certificate along with other documents.

    Question?

    My Pakistani birth certificate dose not have my mother name on it. old Pakistani birth certificates only have father name on it. In this case what to do?

    Thanks in advance.

    Show them other doccuments where your mom's name is there like baptismal,school records,hospital records.

  4. Does NVC asks for the petitioner's Marriage certificate and Birth Certificate in I130 petion for parents?Thanks

    Hello!!! Anybody who would want to help me?

    Hi!

    Has your case have been approved and it's in NVC now? If so..when filing the DS230,it's required to submit the petitioner's original/certified copy of Marriage and birth certificate for IR5/parent petition.

    Ok. Thank you. I haven't filed yet but I am gathering all the requirements so that when NVC asks for them, I have themm all here. Thank you again!

  5. Hey Aaron,

    2 people one thought...

    What you said is exactly what I do.I talked to the Texas General Attorney today,called the WA child support Enforcment Office AND mailed a letter to Bio Dad that he has until Oct 15th,2009 to cooperate and fill out my sons N 600 where it asks for his Info,send me an Affidavit of Paternity and his BC or else I will take him to Court..

    He is active duty military AND lives in Texas........Texas doesn't play games when it comes to Child Support and much less does the US Military.

    So it would be much cheaper and nicer to just give my son his Citizenship..

    NAT

    goodluck to you !

  6. Sorry Aaron your info is not correct.I have talked to an IO about this ,and it does state so in the N 600 that the child HAS to be a Permanent Resident first.

    Doesn't make any sense to me either and I sure would have liked to spent the 600$ we spent for AOS for my son on his N 600 but thats how they want it done...

    Nat

    That's only if you are looking at #2 which is how a child of a USC gains citizenship as an "operation of law." This includes adoption by a USC and being an unmarried minor in the custody of an LPR parent who becomes a USC.

    A child born to a USC who meets the residency requirement is a USC. That child has a claim to US citizenship based on birth and not by operation of law.

    A child born to a USC who meets the residency requirement just has to report his/her birth to the US embassy to get proof of US citizenship. So, it does not make sense that your child would need to do an adjustment in the US as he is already a USC and does not need to adjust to be an LPR.

    ---------------------

    INA: ACT 301 - NATIONALS AND CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES AT BIRTH

    Sec. 301. [8 U.S.C. 1401] The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:

    (g) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years: Provided, That any periods of honorable service in the Armed Forces of the United States, or periods of employment with the United States Government or with an international organization as that term is defined in section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (59 Stat. 669; 22 U.S.C. 288) by such citizen parent, or any periods during which such citizen parent is physically present abroad as the dependent unmarried son or daughter and a member of the household of a person (A) honorably serving with the Armed Forces of the United States, or (B) employed by the United States Government or an international organization as defined in section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act, may be included in order to satisfy the physical-presence requirement of this paragraph. This proviso shall be applicable to persons born on or after December 24, 1952, to the same extent as if it had become effective in its present form on that date;

    Here is the cheaper option for your son. Bring your son and his fathers naturalization certificate,your son's GC and passport fee to nearest USPS and apply for passport for him. I know a relative that did this and they issued US passport to their children. they did not apply n600 /try this. and you can save some money.

  7. A copy of your citizenship certificate is also required. If your mother's name is now different than the one on your birth certificate, you will need documentation to prove this. Read the guide. Your situation is only four lines. Don't know why you think your birth certificate is the only document you would need.

    Yes, you will need to supply more paperwork after the petition is approved. Look up I-864 and DS-230.

    There are no magic time to file. You will need to send requested information within certain time period or the petition will be considered abandoned. Read the Guides for basic information. Read the instructions for Form I-130 for more information.

    Thank you aaron2020,

    I'm just confused about what I'm supposed to send initially and what I need to send after the petition has been approved. The basic information only mentions birth certificate of the person filing the petition to show the mother-daughter relationship, I don't see anything else. But I just want to make sure I have everything. I don't want my petition to be incomplete and consequently be denied.

    You need to read more carefully then if you think the Guide only mentions your birth certificate.

    --------------

    I am a U.S. Citizen and Petitioning for:

    * My mother:

    If you are applying to bring your mother to live in the United States, you must file the following with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (please note: if you have been legally adopted, you may not petition for your birth parent):

    o Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative (if you are filing for both parents, you must file a separate petition for each parent)

    o A copy of your birth certificate showing your name and your mother’s name

    o If your name or your mother’s name is different now than at the time of your birth, you must provide evidence of the legal name change.

    o If you were not born in the United States, a copy of either

    + your Certificate of Naturalization or Citizenship or

    + your U.S. passport

    Sorry, I forgot to mention I was born here in the US.

    here are the steps when USCIS approve your case

  8. hello all,

    i just registered here, and would like to mentioned few things,

    i would like to give credit to the owner of this site, as well as members, admin, and rest who maintain this site well enough.

    i have used this site before many years back, and now i decided to register, i regret i should have register long ago.

    http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...p;page=examples

    i see above link contains quiet interesting information, but i think only additional piece missing is, sample i864a.

    does anyone has the sample form of i864a?

    if so please let me have it,

    also i need serious help understanding filling the forms i-864a, and i864, since they have been revised. its a bit confusion.

    My brothers wife's AOS is in pending, we received a letter requesting initial evidence, which includes i864a/i864

    Petitioner= Brother

    Beneficiary= Brother's wife

    Sponsoring= ME

    Does Petitioner has to send I-864A & I-864 or only 1 of these form?

    Does Sponsoring person (which is me) has to send I-864A & or I-864?

    I would like to mention this, that my brother is my dependent on my last 3 years of federal tax return. He reside with me, and his IRS income is 0$.

    please help.

    thank you

    You can get the forms I864 and I864a in USCIS website. 1864 is for your brother and i864a is for you to fill out.

  9. Why not submit both marriage certificates?

    Good luck.

    NSO has only one registred to them, only the Aug.1978. And my mom went to the church to get a copy for their Sept 1978 weddinng, the church said that they dont have the files anymore.and how long does the NBI clearance good?

    And can my mom bring my younger sister(minor) along with my petition (I130)to her?

  10. Hello! I am about to petition my mom and gathering all the requirements first before filing it. Anyway, my question is about her marriage certificate. My parents got married twice. One in Civil (aug,1978) and then Church(Sept.1978) The marriage date that they put in my Birth certificate is the Sept. ,1978 but NSO issue them the marriage certificate dated Aug.1978. So, will this be a problem? Will it be ok if I'll submit the MC in NSO paper which is the Aug.1978 even though in my BC their marriage date is Sept. 1978? Hope somebody can help me with this.

  11. Hi Tay,

    I sent DS-3032 for my Dad via e-mail to NVC last week and just received two forms today from NVC via e-mails:

    DS-3032 and AOS Fee Bil ($70)

    Does this mean NVC acknowledged receiving my DS-3032 or do I still have to resend it via e-mail and by mail?

    There was no acknowledgement they received my DS-3032 e-mail.

    And mooninlove, how did you ask NVC to have your Dad case waiting for your Mom's case? did you ask NVC by phone or e-mail?

    Thanks.

    hOW DO YOU GUYS RECEIVE EMAILS FROM NVC? LIKE ONE OF YOU SAID, THE AOS BILL ,HE RECEIVED IT BY EMAIL. i LOOK AT THE FORMS AND NEVER SAW ASKING FOR MY EMAIL ADDRESS. AND WHEN YOU RECEIVE EMAILS, DO THEY STILL SEND IT BY SNAIL MAIL? THANK YOU. IM A BIT CONFUSED

    I called them 2 days after receiving by mail the NOA2. The Officer asks infos about me and my dad and email add but told them my mom's case is still pending so i'll wait for it and she said that's fine. Maybe around 2 weeks or less I received by mail the DS3032 & AOS fee for my dad. As Tay have said, no need to make further actions if I wanted to wait for my mom's case and that's what I did. So hoping this week they have already my mom's case @ NVC.

    @ Richard-UK, goodluck to you and ptrober!

  12. Congrats!!! :thumbs:

    Congratulations! By the way, What is the RFE in your mom's case?Thanks!

    My mom's name is slightly different from my BC, their MC and the I-130 form..I provided all docs that proves that this & that person is one.

    How did you do it? We have the same case. My mom's name in my BC and her bc is Arnie but in her mariage cert, it's arne. What doccuments did you submit to prove that this and that peron is the same. thank you!

    I provided my baptismal certificate wherein her name was Rosita Emerita, all her school records (she's a teacher) are all Rosita and her MC was just Emerita. In my BC they put her nickname as well so it was confusing! I provided my baptismal record, school records, her legal change of name( from NSO) to Rosita, affidavits, pictures of me and my mom during my highschool grad-vacation '07 to PI, letters of her with that name and barangay clearance. As you have known, it was approved :)

    are they all original or photocoopies only?

  14. How many years that it takes for a GC holder to petition her minor child in the Philippines? Thank you!

    Currently, it takes about 4-5 years for a GC holder to petition for an unmarried minor child from the Philippines. A case like this would be in the F2a family preference category. You can see from the visa bulletin that those with petitions filed before April 15, 2005 are now eligible for visas. http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin...letin_1360.html

    Remember that the child has to be unmarried until he/she arrives in the US on an immigration visa. Furthermore, a child may age out by turning 21 and having to wait longer in the F2b category. CSPA will protect the child while USCIS approves the petition but not when the case is at the NVC.

    How old is the child?

    She will turn 15 this Oct.

    How does CSPA works?

  15. Thanks Kathryn!

    my mother-in-law has 2 sons, my father-in-law, mother, father, brothers and sisters in Brazil. She would only be visiting us the first time by herself to help us take care of the baby. The problem is they don't have a lot of money, so I hope the consular officer doesn't look at that as a major requirement. I was thinking of writing a letter and getting my senator or congressman to write a letter saying we're upstanding citizens, etc. I don't know if they do those things, but I'll try.

    Thanks again!

    Andy

    I know somebody who got here for the I130 . Her son petitioned her and when she got here, she stayed for 6 months and went to USCIS and let her GC change into a tourist Visa. Uscis changed it. Now, she comes here using her tourist visa.
