Will they still get processed/approved at the same time even if the estimates are two different timeframes? I submitted my parents at the same time too but checking it now and one is two mos while the other is four. 😣

I'm sure both will be processed at the same time! fingers crossed.

Question: when you apply for both parents what happens if one is approved before the other? Both my parents live outside the U.S., so it would be consular processing in Montreal. Just wondering if the system knows to wait for both approvals or if one will get sent for interview and get approved before the other. Only asking because once consular approves you only have 6 months to cross right? 

 

Also for the question where the form asks for the beneficiary's intended address -- for now, do i list that as my home? They will plan to buy something small but cannot until they sell their home and they can't sell home until all this approves. So wondering if i just list my address in that part since they live outside of the U.S. and this is going to be a i-130 and consular processing not an adjustment of status....THANK YOU!

another (probably dumb) question -- in the i-130 where it asks to list the beneficiary's children (25 a) -- so i list married names or names at birth (i am their only child, but my name now as a married woman is different than what is on birth certificate) so for 25 a and b do i list my current name or name at birth?

You don't have to submit your marriage certificate.

I am planning to submit for my parents who live outside the u.s. --- when do we submit the financial stuff for sponsorship??? The i-864? Or is that something they need to bring to their interview at the consulate and a check/credit card form?? Do i only submit i-130 right now? When you look on the USCIS qebsite/instructions they say where to mail the I-864, so im confused.

Financial information/ Sponsorship info will be submitted in next stage that is when you apply for NVC.

Updated from 2 months to 4 weeks. 

Will be interesting how long it takes to get to NVC and on...

same boat as you. I doubt petition will be approved SEPERATELY.

 

again same for mine. They will sell their home first in UK before moving. I was told International moving companies need the VISA when booking their services.

 

Address - they will live with ME - so therefore I list MY  US address.

I used my name at birth

what JK1018 says. When application is approved by USCIS and is then passed over to NVC for processing is when you fill out the I-864 - I have already pre-filled mine since I am the ONLY SPONSOR.

Anything changed on your application status now? It has been more two weeks since you said one of your parents' application showed up as two weeks to go.

Parents application recently showed (1) week. Checked the processing time recently and got that notification 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

😂 Im monitoring as well! Hope it doesn’t mean a year time frame. Im browsing past timelines to find other experiences with unpredictable processing time…..

I’m a naturalized US citizen and I filed for my mother on January 23rd of this year and received a receipt notice a few days later. The receipt mentions the Texas Service Center, so I assume that’s where the application is being processed.
 

A few days ago, the estimated processing time changed from 11 months to 4 months.   

This week, the processing time changed from 4 months to 3 months. Going by other posts on this thread and others, that doesn’t necessarily mean much. But it’s nice to see an update regardless. 

[Jk1018 11]

Processing times for both of my parents changed to 2 weeks for one and 2 months for another. Hoping they both get processed at the same time.
