Petition for Alien Relation - Quick Question...

[MouadsWife 161]

We are petitioning for my spouses parents to come here to live.  The only two forms that I am aware of that I will require is the I-130 Petition for Alien Relative and I-864 Affidavit of Support, correct?

 

Thanks!!

Look for "Parents of US citizens".

Your spouse will begin the IR-5 process for his parents.

Here is a summary of the process: http://www.visajourney.com/content/immigration-parents

Here is the relevant page of the U.S. Embassy in Morocco: https://ma.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/immediate-relative-visa/

Do you know if documents, like birth certificates would need to be translated? Thanks!

Yes, everything submitted with the I-130 needs to be translated.  It's in the instructions.

 

Google "USCIS translation block."

I have just one more question I can't seem to locate the answer to and I have searched everywhere, even in the guided you sent me.  I remember, when I did the K1, filling out banking info, showing that I could support my spouse.  I am not finding that this process is requiring that, asking for support forms for that.  I have printed out and read so much and nothing states that.  In the K1 I had to provide 3 years of tax returns.  Is that not required for bringing a family member, a parent over?

The K1 is for a non-immigrant visa that requires AOS in the US.  That's a completely different process than getting a IR-5 immigrant visa for a parent.

 

Remember the I-864 requirements for AOS on the K-1?  The I-864 and meeting all those requirements will come later once your parents' cases moves to the NVC.

The directions and paperwork for this process really stink.  There is nothing consistent!  Nothing precise!  Everything either contradicts one another, leaves something out, or vague.   

1.  Affidavit of Support? Needed or not when sending the I-130? Or when do I send?
2.  Passport photos?  Needed or not?  Do I send with I-130?
WTH
So confused!

Ok, thanks Jojo!

You are confused. 

 

Different immigration paths, then different processes.

 

Nothing contradicts one another, leaves something out, or vague.  You simply don't have a basic understanding yet.

 

The Guides and instructions are very clear.  You are choosing to interject the K-1 process into this probably because the K-1 is the only part of immigration that you have experience with.

 

1.  It's clear.  The I-864 is not needed with the I-130.  The I-864 is needed when the cases move to the NVC.

 

2.  Passport photos are needed for petitioning a spouse.  That's why it's under petitioning for a "Spouse" section.  It's not needed for petitioning a parent.

 

READ THE GUIDES.   READ THE I-130 INSTRUCTIONS.  Everything that you are finding confusing is in there.
