Hi I am doing the form l 130 for my stepchild  he is an Ukranian and I am not sure what documents I have to submit with my petition.

Any information could be appreciated.

Thank you.

 

The official instructions for the I-130 form has the detailed list of requirements -- https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-130instr.pdf

Hi does anyone know if I need passport photo for l 130 for my stepchild?

[Carburo 4]

I just filed l 130 online for my stepson today. I am planning to call to uscis on Monday to ask for expedite processing. Anyone know if they are approving ? 

Any idea what to say? Or anyone who was approved can give any idea? 

Thank you.

Hi, I did the expedite process, I got tired of call the UCSIS number and I did it thru Ask Emma, finally can chat with a live agente that help with the petition, she said that it will take approximately 7 bussines days to get response. Anyone knows if they are approving expedite process for Ukranians? Thank you in advance.

Hi I filed form l 130 on April 15th. 

Request an Expedite process on April 19th

On April 26th they send me an email approving my Expedite process.

Today April 27th I saw that I  have a Notice of Approval for my I 130  on my USCIS Account where they said  my case was sent to  National Visa Center ,but on the initial page said my case is been reviewed. 

Can be a mistake my Approval Notice.

I am a little confused now. 

Any 💡 idea? 

Thank you.

You can try.  No guarantee the consulate in Warsaw will approve, but it won't hurt your case.

Thank you, yes I will try.

Re-scan the document using a lower resolution, or use a PDF editor to compress the file below the acceptable size.

I've found that SmallPDF.com is a wonderful site for compressing PDFs.

Which form has the error?  If it is the DS-260 form, on the day of the visa interview, request the consulate staff to update the info on the DS-260.

 

[Carburo 4]

Yes is the DS 260 Visa Application. Thank you for your response.
