i -130 Filers of Parents for July 2019

[sumesh 6]

Hello people,

 

I want to file pr for my mom. My dad passed away. My mom is in usa. I would appreciate if someone can share cover letter checklist for 130/485/etc.

 

I am also wondering whether I can put both 130 and 485 in same cover or different cover.

 

Please guide

Looks like I'll be serviced by the Potomac Service Center. Hope they're fast

Hi,

 

So I created a table to help us keep track, I found that with the N-400 process this made it easier, everyone can enter their own information.

Fill out the G-1145 too If you want to receive a notification about your petition status and G-1450 form Authorization for credit card transaction if you want to pay thru credit card. Goodluck

Hi,

during my preparing document process, I have seen there are 2 options. these are when your parent live inside USA and we can fill out I-485 (apply for green card) at the same time. the other option is parent live outside USA, we can only fill out I-130. Which way is faster time process? or both process may be taken same amount of time? I'm confused.

Thanks

Hello!

 

We sent petitions for my husband's parents (and siblings) on 7/22. I have added the info to the spreadsheet.

I filed in July 27 and they took money out around August 2. I forgot to include a notification form so I would get text and email.

how long would it take for me to get the hard copy?

Also I live in Washington. What office would I be likely to ended up with?

We received our hard copies about 4 days after the payment showed up on the credit card. Offices used to be assigned by where you lived but I think it's just random now! Or maybe based on the current workload.
