Hello I have filed for my mother and father I130 on Nov 3rd and I received notice 797C saying that my petition is accepted, now what will happen next? Please give me detailed steps involved and timeline.

Thanks

You are now waiting for USCIS to approve the petition, at which point it will be forwarded to NVC for further processing.

I did the same thing!

I sent the documents on October 30 and got an email saying they accepted and sent me a notice through mail yesterday (Nov.11). Your's was a bit faster than I.

Now I will be waiting.....and waiting anxiously.

I am about to petition for my mother who lives overseas and noted that the I-130 asks about her prior spouses. Does USCIS require a copy of her spouses death and or divorce certificates for processing? The only requirement I noted in the instructions is my birth certificate to prove our relationship.
