Police clearance record for I 485 after I 130 was approved

[lananhlananh 0]

Hi,

I filed I 130 concurrently with I 485 for my mom when she came to US last April on tourist visa. 

June 17: filed I 130, I 485

July 17: finger print 

Sep 17: reentry permit was sent to home

Nov 17: my mom left the US, going back home as my dad was sick

Feb 18: they asked for finger print again, but because my dad was sick my mom couldn't do it and i rescheduled for her

May 18: second finger print

July 18: new I 693, as the old 693 was more than 12 months

July 18: I 130 approved letter

Aug 18: they sent a letter saying " to make final decision,.....we need: petitioner's marriage & divorce certificate (me), my mom's marriage certificate, my mom's police clearance record from places she had been living in past 5 years

 

My question is:

1/ is that normal to ask for my marriage and divorce certificates? 

2/ is that normal to ask for my mom's marriage certificate?

3/ is it normal to ask for my mom's police clearance record? is it because she left the US while her I 485 and I 130 are in processing? any other reason?

4/ They approved I 130, and they asked for more documents to work on I 485, I 485 filer is my mom, not me, why do they need my paper work?

5/ Does my mom need only police clearance record in Vietnam? or also in the State? as she lived in the States last year for 7 months, does she need police record here in US?

 

I really need someone can help me understand this more. Please help. As to what i know, my mom's i130 and 485 has taken a lot longer than normal and i am worried.

Thanksss

its the government. they can ask for whatever they want, but nothing in that list seems out of the ordinary to me. its all part of verifying identities and previous names used. this is a good thing. 

 

she has to provide police certs from everywhere she has lived for the past 5 years. the US will pull their own report for here, I believe.

Hi

Thanks for replying that fast. It is a very relieved to know that all these are normal.

So, she just needs to police record in Vietnam, not here? 

Thanks
