Hello,

My parents aged 80 and 75 went to India in July,19. Their return tickets were for May, 20 but got cancelled due to COVID. At present air travel is unsafe for them due to COVID. What should they do to keep green card ?

Update

Got GC for both parents. June fist week.

There was a little delay for mom as her fingerprints are always sub optimal.  I had to get a police clearance letter from where I live.

quick update on my end...

 

my mom had to do a sputum test so we had to wait 2 extra months.  the medical center just released her results and she's good for an interview.

But now she has missed her May 2019 interview date because of the sputum test.  

They don't automatically reschedule you for an appointment. They don't notify you either to schedule an appointment. 

So she had to call the embassy everyday to get an appointment.  Each day she would call they would say no available slots for IR5.

After a week of religiously calling throughout the day she finally got a September 2019 interview - which is getting really close to the expiration date of the Medical Exam results.

We were so worried when we weren't getting any interview dates because her medical exam results will expire in October. That may seem far from now -- but it's really not.

She need those medical exam results to enter the US, so I was so worried that we won't have enough time to get her a flight to come here.

 

Now, we just have to worry about her interview.  I hope she passes the interview.  She's a widow and I hope for her to live with me.

 

So who here have already have their family arrive in the US?  and who here are still waiting? 

Thats why its always better to do AOS in USA. 

Interviews done for both parents.

Dad approved.

Mom finger print not good quality.. sent a police clearance report to USCIS.

Now waiting.

Filed in Feb, 2018.

Got interview dates for may 20, 2019.

Anyone knows how long it takes for green card after interview ?

Congratulations

Depends on the language your original documents are !

Google official translation services for that language. 

Was this concurrent filing ?

I hope not but you never know.

How long does it take to renew ?

Cost ?

Probably, that is the reason for quick processing.

I am in Phoenix and the officer told me it's a long road.

Congratulations.

Which city you live in ?

Hi

 

I am USC & planning to file petition for my parents who live outside united states. What are the documents we need to include with the petition. I read online but its all confusing please can somebody help me with the document checklist. Do we need to submit I-864 with  I-130 or later.

I believe your case goes to the nearest field office but I am not sure.

I don't know if you can now file i131.

You can call USCIS and ask.

You should have filed for I 131, ap.

What if she has to travel ?

My parents are even older.

Your case processing will be determined by where you live.

Look for processing times for your local office.

Your case will be transferred there.

Mine is Phoenix. 9 to 18 months.

Did you file for Ead and ap as well ?

Those have case filing dates based on your service center.

You can file online.

I 485 now a days is taking 9 to 24 months, thanks to current administration.

Thank you.

Wish all the best to all of you.

Received EAD AP combo card.

Timeline

2/3/18 sent application

2/8/18 received

2/16  Fingerprint notice

3/5 RFE i864

7/9 text for ead approval

7/12 EAD received

Thank you.

I read on other forums that EAD and i131 are combined now.

Should I expect a combo card ?

EAD approval text received.

National benefits center has increased the time to 4.5 months today.

In the morning, it was 4 months.

Case dates were changed from jan 15 to jan 1, 18.

Anyone got I 131 ? 

4 months(from priority date) have passed by..

No parole or EAD.

Feeling anxious

USCIS website says if your center is national benefits center for I 485, then look at the processing times for your local office. 

For phoenix, its up to 24 months. 

Thats horrendous. USCIS is run by money paid by the immigrants, not on federal money. It should not take this much time.

I guess you kept your I 130 ready for the post. Mailed same day as you took oath!

Pretty fast
