The movement is not on the basis of days, its on the basis of weeks... The cut-off date is always from these dates : 1,8,15,22 (irrespective of number of days) See the following movement in the last

I don't believe ! Still retrogression is not over. It is still in 2001. Moreover NVC does not have any clue of retrogression or future movement !! I called several time to NVC and I am not lucky enou

Jolly...I have been reading your request for a while that please don't pay IV fees...I disagree with this...we small number of people on this forum cannot dictate speed of VB by delaying paying IV fee

I am here in US on H1B and I have also experience of filling 485 based on employer case. I have also family based F4 petition going on for me. Based on my experience of both employment and family based petitions, in your situation it is better for you to travel to India and appear for interview with your parents and get the green card.

If you do decide to go for 485 please hire an experience attorney. Do not try to do this on your own otherwise there is great chance you will mess up your green card. Considering the legal fees and dual processes (one for your parents and one for you) I would still advice you to follow the first path. Hope this helps.

Thnx.. This clears my confusion... Will go consular processing only..

Thnx VisaGrant..

In my case my parents (ie Principal Applicant) r not in USA but in India. Is there any option that they can file for my adjustment after coming here and stil retain original date ?

From USCIS Website "Family based categories require that a U.S. citizen or permanent resident relative file a Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, for you." but i would want the I485 to be tied to the original I130 filed for my mom ? Is that possible ? or its better to visit India and go through consular processing to avoid complications ?

Eventhough it is possible to convert from Consular Processing to Adjustment Of Status and Vice Versa...I agree with the member "waitingforvisa" just for the reason in facing the hassles coming with that...India is not part of the VWP (Visa Waiver Program), so once your parents are in US, u should keep watching their Visa Clock and also make sure the F4 processing should be on time apart from the listed attorney issues...

Good Luck.

PD July 25, 2004

I got married in 2009 and I have four years old son as well. Now when is the appropriate time to get derivative beneficiaries added in my petition? Should I email NVC now or at a later stage? also let me know what are the required docs? What is the process of getting them added in petition?

Thanks and Regards,

First Welcome...."Always" the appropriate time to contact NVC is... "NOW"....Call them or Email them with the following details ....

1. Include Case Number, Petitioner Name, Address, and Birthdate.

2. Your Wife's Birth Certificate and Your Marriage Certificate.

3. Child's Birth certificate.

All documents shoud be with certified English translation if it is in a foreign language.

Till NVC confirms on the addition....Do not send in the I-864. Hold Off until your family details are added.

Good Luck
