I-130 Accepted- Different responses for each family member?

[erinmt 0]

Hi,

I am now a US citizen and sent in two I-130s, one for my mom and one for my dad. We got a notice that they were both approved, but my dad's letter said "As the petitioner requests, we have sent the petition to the U.S. Department of State National Visa Center (NVC)" etc and also got an email that gives details to continue the process by logging in to the CEAC. However, the letter of approval for my mom says "The above petition has been approved. The beneficiary of this petition will be notified separately when a decision is reached on his or her pending adjustment of status application."

 

My question is, Do they combine my parents now into one application going forward?

Like I know the next step is paying the Immigrant Visa Application Processing Fee and Affidavit of Support Fee to the NVC- are these fees for both of my parents as a unit or do I have to pay each fee x2?

 

Thanks for the help!

looks like they’ve got one as AOS and one consular..two entirely different routs

 

are your parents in or out of the US? If they are both out of the US, you may need to contact USCIS and explain the issue to have it corrected.

Oh really? I wonder how they messed that up. They are both outside the US. We applied for them using the I-130 online form and sent them on the same day, but received their notices 2 weeks apart.
