I-130 will expire soon (merged)

[Smooch-Esther 8]

Hello,

 

My spouse who is a USC petitioned my son to come here. We got the approval April 2020. I didn't really bother much on processing it yet coz plans changed due to the pandemic. It will expire next month, the 16th if I won't start processing for the immig fees. So I paid it last week. My only concern is, my son's passport is expired already. My mom back home wasn't able to renew it due to the lockdown in our city and senior citizens and kids weren't allowed to go out. They lifted it this month already so my mom was able to got an appt to passport renewal already. 

My concern is, my son's passport won't be release before April 16. So that means I wont be able to upload his new passport info in the CEAC portal. 

Are they gonna reject or deny the application if I won't be able to provide it by April 16 or the i-130 approval is extended already since I already paid the fees. 

I'm just on a panic mode right now coz i don't want to go back to zero again on processing again.

 

Any advice will be appreciated. 

 

Thanks bunch

According to what I have been told here, anytime you have activity, it extends your time window out 1 year from that point.  So in theory when you paid the fees, that would restart the clock and you have a year from then.  However, just to be safe, upload a document.  Any document.  You can delete it later if needed.

Paying the fee, restarts the one year clock. It shows that there was contact. That will buy you the time you need.

You can call NVC to confirm.
