Hello guys, I need some help please! 

 

So I file the I-130 for my mom and dad back in October 08/2019, to the date i receive the notice saying my case is on process...

 

My dad came in january 23/2020 with his tourist visa and he had a flight back to Colombia in may 25/2020 but the flight was cancelled by american airlines because the airport in Colombia is closed due to COVID 19 and looks like is going to be closed for a while unfortunately...yes is a difficult situation and super stress since is nothing we can do about it.

 

So I did a lot of research to see what was the best option, either apply for:

 

A. extension I-539, which can take months to get approve or if it get denied that will be a problem because his tourist visa will be cancelled and etc.

B. since I applied for I-130 last year, and is not approved yet but is on process was thinking about adjustment of status I-485 which i know takes time but at least doing the legal way.

I called USCIS two times and they told me he can apply for adjustment status since he came with a legal visa and was here already in the USA...

My question is, I am working on the forms that i have to send which is form I485, Form I944, Form I864 ...etc, so me and my husband will sponsor my dad financially, what documents we need to attach to the application.

 

Thank you so much for your time.

You shouldn’t be worry about the interview. Just answer the questions truthfully. It’s not a test that you have to study something. They want to make sure you relationship is real.

Hi, curious if anyone has planned out the formalities once their parents arrive in the US - the financial piece (no credit history), buying/renting a home, any benefits for elderly etc, the social/community side etc - would be interested to hear feedback from anyone willing to share. Thanks.

My husband filed I130 for my mil in January 2020 and we received an rfe on May 27 for more evidence.  Last week  we sent the rfe with evidence and it arrived today at USCIS.  We are at the California service center.  Hopefully rfe goes well and we keep moving along.   Also we did our I130 paper and snail mail  and not online.

Hello, 

what is the average wait time from time filed to interview? 

A couple years.  Figure about a year at the service center, 3 to 5 months at the NVC and depending on the consulate 1 to 15  months.   If you have specifics that helps to get a better estimate.   Oh and all of that is pre COVID19 and before USCIS runs out of money this summer.

Does anyone know why this happened? I am so upset as I spoke with an agent a week ago and was told it's 7-9 months processing time for parents.  Can they just continue to keep increasing from 6 months to several years now?! Anyone using an immgration lawyer? Would be interested in their feedback on this.
