Mom's I-30 was approved back in Sept. 2009. Next step?

[c47v3770 0]

How are you?

I'm a US citizen filing for my mom who currently lives in Bolivia.

I received the I-797 saying that the case was approved back in Sept. 24th of this year.

The "priority date" in the form is Sept. 3, 2009.

Since then, I haven't heard anything back from the NVC.

I still haven't filed (although I have it ready) the I-864 and the I-485.

What should I do next?

Please assist me in this matter as I'm a bit lost.

Hopefully I haven't wasted almost three months waiting for nothing..

Thanks!

Call NVC, inquire, get a human.

They will email you a 'DS-3032 kit' at some point.

Do the stuff in this kit, register for onilne payment portal.

Something's lagged, though.

OK good deal, I registered the email addresses today and already received the email with the DS-3032.

I used the email template for the DS-3032 and sent it from my mom's email address.

15 minutes later, I got another email with the AOS fee and another DS-3032.

Should I just pay the fee and wait for the email confirmation for the DS-3032?

Thanks..

You should pay the AOS fee now. Once it is PAID, print out the cover sheet and send the cover sheet with the AOS form and documents.

The DS-3032 'processing' and the I-864 and DS-230 are not connected - ie - this is not a serial process, but a parallel process.

you got the online payment portal info, for the AOS, I-864, right? go ahead and handle that, now.. in a few days, go back to the portal, print the receipt, then include that receipt, the barcode, and the I-864 packet - send it off to NVC.

For the DS-3032 - sure, get it off to yer Mum, asap. It is NEEDED towards the end of NVC processing, but IF you use the online payment portal - the lack of DS-3032 in the casefile will NOT hold up the other processing...

GOOD LUCK !

OK will do. I will be paying the $70 tomorrow.

Just wondering, was I supposed to mail two G-325A forms with the I-30? I never did since I thought the forms were not needed for a parent petition.

Either way, my case as accepted.

Any idea if they will tell me to send them at some point?

Thanks for all your help Darnell!

No, you dont have to send G-325A as it is not necessary for parents cases. I answered to your question on I-130 progress list......

Thanks so much Raj!

OK, almost ready to send the I-864. Bill already showed as PAID.

I will be filing with a joint sponsor since I'm a student, work part time and my income is too low.

What I have so far:

Two I-864s (mine and my joint sponsor's)

In part 1 of form, I chose ""I'm the petitioner (obviously ) and the sponsor checked "I'm the only joint sponsor"

Household size on both I-864 adds up to two: me and the beneficiary for the first one. Joint sponsor and beneficiary for the second one.

That's correct, right?

Income evidence:

For my I-864:

-Tax return transcript showing income for 2006, 2007 and 2008

-Three most recent pay stubs

-Letter of employment (not sure if it's necessary)

For my joint sponsor's I-864:

- Income tax declaration for an IRS e-file return for 2006 (hopefully this will work)

-Copies of 2007 and 2008 tax returns

-Copies of W-2 for 2006, 2007 and 2008

-Copy of biographical page from passport

I do not have a letter of employment or pay stubs from the joint sponsor.

Do I need to get any those documents? The joint sponsor also declared assets in his I-864, so I'm guessing I must get copies of a bank statement?

The joint sponsor is a family friend by the way, not a household member..

Thankss and happy new year!!

OK, I know my last post is too long..

So turns out the use of assets in the I-864 is optional

So in my case, there's no need for the use of assets because:

-The joint sponsor's current income is $42,000

-He doesn't list any dependents on his tax return

-The amount for a household of 2 listed in the poverty guideline is $18,213

Therefore I can leave the assets page blank.

Do I make sense?

Thanks!

Good deal...thanks!

OK, 3032 has been received and IV bill generated..

Now I'm a bit concern about the DS-230. For some reason, my mom, in the I-30 we sent a while ago, only mentioned

her second husband and not her first. And she believes her Cuban marriage certificate does show that she had been maried before her second marriage.

So, will the above cause any problems after I send the DS-230 and all the documents?

If so, could I maybe send a corrected I-30 with an explanation?

Thanks guys!
