IR5 visa for parents

[js0622 4]

Hi everyone,

 

I am in the process of immigrating my parents to the US. I applied for both of them separately by submitting i-130 which have been approved and now my MOTHERS case was approved first and she has already received the NVC case number and everything. However my father has been approved later and has still  not received an NVC case number. Will they somehow connect them later? Will I have to fill out an affidavit of support for both separately? Or will they add my father in the system. Will they have to attend the interview separately? They are married and live together. Is there anything that has to be done to insure that they are processed together.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

This is a good question. I am wondering why USCIS approved your mom's and dad's separately. Did you indicate on applications that you have been filing for multiple family members? I think there was a question asking if more petitions are being filed together or something like that?

I don't have an answer to your question, however I have seen posts in other threads mentioning something about cases not being approved together. Now I am wondering if mentioning on 130 concurrent filing of multiple family members would ensure to prevent such separation...

I would wait for your father's I-130 to be approved before proceeding at the NVC. You will need two I-864 but you should only have to pay one AOS fee.
