MARCH 2021 I-130 FILERS FOR PARENTS (PROGRESS REPORTS ONLY)

[EXP14 12]

Since I don't see a Forum started for March 2021 Filers, I'm starting this so we all can keep in touch through-out the I-130 journey of bringing parents to the US.

 

Today I submitted my form 1-130 online and paid the fee. 

 

Let the Journey begin.

Is the ban on IR-5 visas still in effect?

Hi everyone, 

 

So glad I found this forum! Filed for my mum last March 03, 2021 electronically. Good luck to us all!
 

Thanks, Exp14 for starting this thread!

it was revoked before earlier this month and NVC already has already been reviewing cases and been updating their website every week. Link below for more info:

Everybody here needs guidance. 

There are other threads for that (you have a new one of your own!).

The current thread is for progress reports only; tutorial questions belong elsewhere.

Hello Everyone, 

I filed a Petition for my Parents (Mom & Dad) from the Philippines. 

March 31, 2021 - Filed I-130 
April 05, 2021 - Case was received and a receipt notice was mailed.
April 07, 2021 - Case is being actively reviewed by USCIS (This is only under my Mom’s case/receipt #) while my Dad’s case still not being actively reviewed. 

Question: 
• Is it normal that one of the petition I filed got an update first while the other one is still pending or has not yet been updated although they were filed at the same time?

I filed for my parent in March, receipt date March 17, notification from USCIS issued on April 9, processing done by Nebraska Service Center.

Dumb question - I just filed I-130 for my parents with priority date 4.18.2021.

Does each parent need a separate I-130 application or is it 1 application for both parents who are still legally married?

Separate I 130 petition for each parent.
