US Immigration from Georgia

Hi all! Long time VJ-yer here. I am a USC. I have never done much research on this topic myself and info that I found seems to be all over the place. Long story short I have a brother who is married with 2 kids (he is in his 30s). He lives in my home country outside of US. If I file I-130 for him now what is realistic time frame for his PD?

Another seemingly important detail is that my mother who is in US currently filed I-485 (concurrent filing) and we are waiting for her application to be approved. Once she is an LPR is there a faster way for my brother? If so, by how much longer?

If my mother naturalizes (5-6 years down the road) and then she petitions for my brother what does the wait look like?

P.S. my brother's kids are 12 and 8. I assume by the time his PD rolls around via whichever way we choose to go kids will age out and this will add to the wait and complicate things more?

Thanks ahead of time!

Hi all,

sorry if I am posting this in the wrong place. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with trying to obtain a DL with I-797 (NOA) in North Carolina?

Thanks in advance!

I am filing I-130 and I-485 concurrently for my mother who is in the US. Do I need pictures for I-130? Instructions only address the spouse and asks for pictures but not other relatives.

My question: Do I need pictures of myself and my mother for I-130?

I know I-485 requires principal applicant pictures.

Thanks!

I am getting ready to file I-130 and I-485 for my mother who is in the US. Is there advantages of filing I-130 online and once I get I-797 then file I-485 based on that VS mailing all the forms together?

I would appreciate if someone can share their experience who went through either of the above ways.

Hi folks,

I am sure there is a post about this somewhere lingering on this forum about this topic. I am looking for a post where someone has detailed AOS from B1/B2 for parents and has all the checklist docs as well as steps. I have the USCIS resource page on I-485 with instructions and am familiar with it. I would appreciate if anyone can point me to the above mentioned post.

- I know insurance is expensive and have means to pay for it

- circumstances changed as we need a caregiver for our newborn and job changed caused us to lose parental leave

thanks ahead of time.
