I had filed i-864a with my father to bring my sister's family to u.s 2 years ago. Now i live separately not with my father any more. And my sister and family became permanent residents and they also moved out of my father place.

I am going to file I-864 to sponsor my wife, daughter and mother. In Part 5 section 21.F of form I-864 asking me that If i have sponsored any other persons on an I-864 or I-864 EZ who are now lawful permanent residents, enter the number.

Question?

Because i had filed i-864a and not i-864 or i-864 EZ with my dad to co sponsor my sister family, do i have to include my sister family here?

I really appreciate your answers to my question in advance.

Hi i am a u.s citizen and i had filed i-130 for my Wife, Daughter, Mother. After there cases approved and transferred to NVC i am required to send form i-1864. I am in need of expert advice here.

Part 5. Sponsor's household size in form i-864 section F says " If you have sponsored any other persons on an I-864 or I-864 EZwho are now lawful permanent residents, enter the number here".

Question?

Oath Ceremony at Brooklyn N.Y

My appointment was for 8:30AM, got in the court around 8:15AM, went through security (you are not allowed to take cell phones or camera) went to the court room at 1st floor.

By 9AM, the room was almost packed,the court officer introduced herself,told us to look at our appointment letter to make sure it has the correct date on it. We all did. She said she will call us row by row to hand in our permanent resident cards, and any travel documents issued by USCIS/INS. So the slow process started. When my row was called, went up and hand in my appt. letter, it was checked and signed and handed back to me, then they take my green card. i then checked my naturalization certificate, for any errors, and write my full name in capital latters on it, and then went out to cafeteria.At 10:00 AM, we all went back in the court room, and waited for the judge to arrive. During this time, another guy from NYC Dept. of human rights took the microphone. He explained what his organization does, etc. Advised us that if we feel we are being discriminated against to contact them - of course we got a pamphlet. Now we were all wondering where the heck is the judge, as i was dying to leave. He came in at 11:15PM, and of course we were all happy to see him. Nice looking pleasant guy, with a great sense of humor. He led us through taking the oath and also the pledge of allegiance. He explained that we should always embrace our culture and ethnicity, don't drop it, and teach it to our children.. I was really impressed by what he said. He said that we have the same rights as those born in this country and not to let anyone tell us otherwise. He spoke some more, then left - he took around 20 mins.

Then the part we all waited for, our names were called, we exchanged our appt. letters for our brand new certificate. I left at 11:45PM and went to the post office to apply for my passport also made some copies.

So that was my journey, a life time experience. Well life goes on and we have to move forward to achieve new milestone. And for me next one is to apply for my doughtier and wife and mother!!!!!

Best of luck to every one who are waiting for there interview,oath or who just filed there cases.

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.

November 5, 2009

Your total income.

thanks again for replying. i will file next income tax above 125% of poverty line for 4 person.

I had applied I-130 for my wife in April-2006 and in OCT-2008 my DAUGHTER was born while i was a green card holder, now i m getting my citizen ship on NOV-12-2009.
Questions?

1- How to upgrade my wife's case or change category to expedite the process( I-130 Petition is approved week before i became citizen and transferred to NEWHAPSHIRE)

2- My daughter born 1 year before of my citizen ship, is she a us citizen? if not then how to file her case? or how to show her in my wife,s case so they can get immigration visa together.

3- After becoming citizen how can i file for my MOTHER immigration.

Thank you in advance for answering my question.

1. Write to USCIS and the NVC to update the petition for your wife. Let them know that you are a US citizen and request that your wife case be upgraded to an Immediate Relative. Include a copy of your citizenship certificate. Include case numbers.

2. Your daughter is not a US citizen. Use Form I-130 to apply for her. It will take about 6-12 months for her to get a visa. Once she enters the US as an immigrant, she automatically becomes a US citizen. File Form N-600 to get her a citizenship certificate.

3. Form I-130. One bit of caution. Make sure that you are 125% above the poverty level for 4 person (you, wife, child and mother) before you petition for your mother. It would be really horrible if you only made enough to petition for 2 people and either your wife or child is not included. I would wait to file for your mother until after your wife and child are in the US to play it safe if your are close to not meeting the poverty level. See Form I-864p.

Thak you so much for your prompt reply.

My net income ( total income-expenses) should be above 125%? or my total income ( which is also called Gross income).

I passed my interview on 10/20, but haven't received my Oath letter yet, should I be worried? Historically, people have been getting their oath letter within 10-12 days...

Is that true? I mean, getting OL within 10-12 days of interview?

I have been waiting too.

Congrats KamranAshraf1!

Passed interview today. Arrived at 12 at USCIS interview center in GARDEN CITY N.Y. Waited for abut 40 minuets in the main lobby. Then transfered to 2nd floor. Again a 30 more minuet wait, then my name was called. IO was very friendly. She verified my info from then N-400. Then she asked me 6 questions, which i answered correctly so she stoped there. After that i read one sentence " Who lives in white house" and wrote the answer. Then she asked me if i want OTH latter today. I waited for about 2 more hours for OATH latter.

Over all it was not a bad experience. Got the OATH latter for 12th NOV.
