Hi Everyone, 

 

Finally! After 7 years of waiting. I am now a US Citizen. I can Petition my Parents from the Philippines. Thank God! 😭

 

I am currently doing their papers online. Unfortunately, I am having trouble about some questions. 
 

Questions: 

1: They were asking for travel document number. The only number I can provide is their Passport number. 
 

2: I am petitioning my Papa and Mama. I don’t know what to do exactly with their papers. Do I need to file one by one? Like, submit and pay for my Papa first then do the application again for my Mama? 
 

3: What supporting documents do we need to provide? I just want to be on point about this. I don’t want to cause any delays. 
 

4: How long do I need to wait for this process before I receive the NOA
 

5: My Father’s Sister who is living here in United States filed for Siblings Petition back in 2016. What do I need to gather in case they will ask for it? 
 

We’ve been dreaming about this eversince. Hopefully, I can reunite with my Parents and my sibling soon! In Jesus name, Amen. 🙏🏻

Leave blank or enter "Not applicable" on the field for Travel Document.  Fill out the field for Passport number.

You need to file 1 petition for each parent.  Your papa's case will be separate from your mama's case.

Prepare your PSA birth certificate and your parents' PSA marriage certificate.  Evidence requirements are different for mother and for father.  Follow the instructions listed here -- https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-130instr.pdf

Nothing from the previously filed sibling petition which will be treated as a separate case from the ones you will file for your parents.

Is your sibling also in the Philippines?  Are you also filing a petition for your sibling?  Note that derivative beneficiaries are not allowed for IR5 parent visa cases.

Thank you for your quick response. I am currently gathering all the documents needed. But still confused some of the question as expected. 
 

I will bring my Parents first here then they will file for my siblings. I still have one minor sibling. He is my youngest brother.
