Hello all,

Thanks for putting up this post and sharing. It gave me relief to find others in the same boat. Wife and I are petitioning her mom who came here 3 years ago, had her green card but decided to go back to Vietnam and has been living there since. March 19th 2015 is our priority date.I first thought that since she already got her green card b4 it would be easier and sooner but soon found out we have to start over from square one. This time I decided to do the paperworks myself vs paying some immigration office to do it. It'll be 5 months in 2 days and some family members of my wife already blame the long waiting time on the fact that I didn't hire some one to do it. After reading the forums I realized that it's kind of a hit and miss thing with some luck factor involved to get a fast approval time. I got a little freaked out when seeing the process time of Nebraska (last file was Jan 2014) but read on some other posts that some Feb filers from Nebraska got approved so it eases my worry a bit. Wife is even more anxious to have her mom here. I plan on calling NSC after the 5 month mark and will update. Good luck everyone!

Hello to everyone.

I want to file for my mom. But the problem is she and my dad never got married. In this case what do I do? To show that she is my mom. But I do have birth certificate. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Birth certificate is enough to show she is your mother.

You don't need anything for her.

It's easier to show that she is your mother than to prove your father is indeed your father.

I called today and was surprised how easy it is to get to a live rep. She wouldn't talk to me since my wife petitioned. Called back 2 hours later with her in a conference call and again got through without a problem. She however couldn't tell us anything other than what's been posted on USCIS site which is just the original receipt notice. She did looked and said it's been 5 months so we should do an e-request (I think that's what she said) online and they'll respond by slow mail in 15-30 days. So I did just that but website said we're within process time so they rejected our request. Will try submit again in a few days. I did asked her about the process time posted last month (last file was Jan 2014) she said it was a typo, supposed to to Jan 2015 and confirmed 5 months is indeed the time frame right now.

got an email that says a notice of request of additional evidence was sent out by slow mail yesterday but email wouldn't say what. Guess I just have to wait for the mail. Probably 2013 tax return or an English translation of birth certificate.

Hi all,

I applied for both my parents at the Vermont center. Priority date was 04/23/2015 and I received a receipt notice on for 04/23/2015.

I was hoping to hear a decision anytime soon, then on August 21 I received a notification that my case has been transferred to the California service center.

Now I am wondering if they will use my original receipt date of 04/23/2015 in California or if the transfer receipt date of 08/21/2015 is what they will use. In other words, the processing time is 5 months in Vermont and California, is it now 5 months from 04/23/2015 or 5 months from now?

Thanks
