I tried to look for the "I-130 for parents August 2015" post, but did not have any luck. If there is one exist, please let me know. If the time that you filed I-130 for your parents was around August 2015 , please join me:)

Let me go first!

I-130 filed. 08/05/2015

Check cashed 08/11/2015

Receipt of I-130 stamped 08/11/2015 from Nebraska Service Center (Priority date 08/06/2015)

I-130 approved 12/24/2015

I-130 Approval Notice stamped 12/29/2015, I am not sure on what date I received the notice because I was not in town.

Case transferred to NVC 01/06/2016

Case received and scanned by NVC 01/12/2016

I called about every 10 days to check on the case and I was told that it could take up to 42 days for NVC to create a case in their system, after they did that, they would inform me the case number.

Is anyone else on this journey? Please please join me. Thank you.

Hello, do you mind sharing the document you sent along with the i130.

Hi. As I remember, these were the documents that I sent in: 1) Form-I130 2) my birth certificate (I am the petitioner) 3) my marriage certificate (I had my name changed after marriage) 4) naturalization certificate

I just sent in whatever the I-130 Instruction asks for.

I have never been in this situation. But this is what I think, if your mom's real name is not on your birth certificate, then is her nickname on there? Does your mom use this nickname officially? If she does, doesn't it mean that her nickname is her real name since everyone knows her as her nickname?

If what I said was not the case, then maybe ask her to go to the whatever agency that deals with name change in her country to get it corrected and then have that piece of paper notarized? Edited February 9, 2016 by lilmeow

Hi. If you are the petitioner and the ONLY sponsor, you will need to fill out Form I-864 ONLY.

Employment letter should include your employer, the date you got employed, your job title and your income. Use company letterhead paper.

If you are only sponsor and you are only sponsoring your mother then yes number of persons that you sponsor should be 1.

Persons not sponsored auto-populated to 1 (according to the I-864 instruction)

Yes your household size is Two (you and your mom)
