I-130 for parents?

[Aristedes John 2]

You send the Form DS-3032 Part I &II and your civil documents ( e.i. BC, MC, 2x2 photos, NBI, photocopy of passport bio-page) to your daughter. She then sends all of that to NVC. I attached the NVC Process Flowchart file below.

This is the address:

Your daughter can pay the AOS fee $88 the same day that you send thru mail the DS-3032.

Hello Everyone,

My husband and I are about to send the AOS packet(I-864EZ) for my mother-in-law. Just wanted to know that my mother-in-law has e-mailed to NVC her DS 3032(choice of agent form)rather than mailing the physical copy, so is that OK or she has to post mail the form. I read that it takes couple days to a week for NVC to acknowledge the e-mail and to appoint the agent.

Thank You,

-Bani

I sent the package for both my dad and mom in one envelop. Few days ago I received the case number for my dad but nothing for my mom yet. I also received AOS email for my dad only. I have been waiting for news regarding my mom's case since then. It's weird that their cases are being handled separately.

Should I wait until I get NVC email with my mom case number to proceed both of them or should I go ahead with my dad's case only and pay the AOS fee?

Same thing happened with my parents petitions. Dad's case was adjudicated first & so his was assigned a case number, IIN weeks before my mom's. I paid the AOS fee an hour after NVC sent me an email of mom's case number etc. I wanted to be sure that when I paid the fee it will pull up mom's case along side dad's. You only need to pay one AOS fee for multiple petitions (cases).

I'm here. I came back already hehhe

Thanks Let-it-be! Luckily, we only have to pay AOS once hehe. I will continue to wait then. How many weeks gap between NVC emails for your mom and your dad?

It was just 9 business days (14 days). Around that time, I felt like it was taking so long. In the end, once I paid the aos fee, everything seems to be progressing well than I anticipated.

My timeline below: The 14th is the day I received the email from NVC about mom's case # & IIN.

01/14/13 - DS-3032 & IIN invoiced (email)

01/14/13 - emailed DS-3032 & paid AOS fee (In-Process)

01/15/13 - AOS fee status : PAID

01/18/13 - mailed AOS packet

01/29/13 - received DS-3032 acceptance email

01/30/13 - received IV invoiced email & paid (In-Prcoess)

01/31/13 - IV Bill status: PAID & mailed DS-230 packet

I am so excited that I finally get to petition my dad to come live with my husband and I.

I have a couple of questions regarding the I-130 form.

My dad is a widowed. What do I write in the space for Date and place of present marriage? Should I write the date he married my mom? or it should not apply anymore?

how about name of prior spouse and the date the marriage ended?

In the field to write List of spouse and children of relative, do I still put mom even though she passed away?

Thank you for your help!

Your mom doesn't need to fill up G-325 A form. That form is only needed if you are petitioning a spouse.

For initial paper works in petitioning your parent (MOM). You need the following:

1. You fill up Form I-130

2. A photocopy of YOUR NSO Birth Certificate

2. A photocopy of YOUR Marriage Certificate (as proof of legal name change)

3. A photocopy of YOUR Certificate of Naturalization or US passport

4. The Check of $420

Hi Let-it-be, I just rcvd the case number for my mom. Thanks God! I'm going to pay AOS fee right now.

I noticed in your timeline you typed "emailed DS3032". I also want to ask my parents email their Choice of agent (which is me) instead of mailing the forms. So did your parents emailed to NVCinquiry? Is it an easier and quicker way?

Yes, we emailed the Choice of agent to NVCInquiry from my parents email accounts. I think it is easier & quicker to send it by email versus by mail.
