Hello!

My husband will be applying for both of his parents at the same time (separate I-130s). However, we got confused on the question that asks "Have you EVER previously filed a petition for this beneficiary or any other alien?". If we were to submit his dad's I-130 and then a few minutes later, submit his mom's, should we answer Yes to this question on his mom's I-130? If so, it goes on to ask "Where was the petition filed?", it asks for a city and state. What do we put for that if the only other petition filed was his dad's?

Hi there, honestly idk much about this process but im wondering what happens when you get approved, i had my interview in montreal a while ago had the medical stuff and papers looked at and now just got news of approval! But what happens now? Ive done some research and im a sibling sponsor btw, but im unsure if its just a matter of waiting for the mail or if theres more paperwork and checkups to come. If anyone could let me know that'd be great!!

Planning to do the following:

1.apply for passport at local post office

2.update status with Social security

3.update status at Secretary of state (it's like dmv that issues driver license and state Id)

4.anything I'm missing? Any additional tips,tricks or resources? Thanks everyone for all the help.

Hi,

I am having my interview soon and received the USCIS Courtesy Email to upload some evidence in advance.

What Types of Evidence to Provide

For a Form I-130 filing, you may provide additional evidence of the bona fides of your relationship from the inception of the relationship to present.

Examples of documentation may include but are not limited to:

• Supporting evidence of your relationship, such as documentation regarding joint assets or liabilities you and your spouse may have together. This may include tax returns, bank statements, insurance documents (car, life, health), property documents (car, house, etc.), rental agreements, utility bills, credit cards, contracts, leases, photos, correspondence and/or any other documents you feel may substantiate your relationship.
• Birth Certificates
• Marriage Document issued by the appropriate civil authority
• Divorce decree/death certificate for each prior marriage
• Certified English translation for each foreign language document

For a Form I-485 filing, you should provide:

• Copies of any immigration documents
• Related police reports and the certified final court disposition for each arrest, even if the charges have been dismissed or expunged.

Items that Cannot be Uploaded in Advance

Form I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Records that were not submitted with the original filing cannot be uploaded in advance and should be presented unopened to the officer at the interview.

Please note that we still require you to bring in the original copies (or certified copies) of your documentation in person.

I was wondering should I upload the same documents they asked in email that I have already provided when submitting my application?

In my opinion they already have everything and I'm going to bring originals to the interview. The only new would be additional photos and some bills, health insurance

Would it look better for me if I upload it beforehand (even though they already got almost all of it)?

Hello.

Thanks in Advance
