visa3310

Also what if there was no marriage between parents???

I am working on filing the FOrm I-130 online and the online form is pretty lengthy I am only filing for my dad but the form is asking to provide information about parent two and also asking for marriage certificate etc but am only filing for my dad, so can i just skip adding information about parent 2? One will think they will make the form such that it will have conditionals like if one is filling for both parent or not and ask questions based on that but no, the dumb people behind the website just lack cognitive logic, but that is alright. So anyone here willing to answer this? I will think the only evidence here will be dad birth certificate and mine and whatever else related to showing proof between me and my dad not some marriage certificate Please advice

if he does not live here, will they revoke his permanent residency? if he can get that rather than applying for visiting visa all the time, which one will you go for? exactly

how then? over the border fence? lol

in this case they would not be staying trust me on that, if i wanted them here in the US i could have applied for them years back it took this long because they had no interest to add more my dad is not interested in living here so he wont even get citizenship because he will be here for short visits only brother on the other hand needs this more and no urgency yet so yeah not everyone is on life and death to move to the US like US is some eutopia matter of fact, i see migration from US to many countries in the coming years as reality of things here get worse and worse. already happening but in very small numbers compared to what is to come i can go on and on about how the west is not longer it anymore, and its not just about money/finance or opportunities anymore so anyways that should help because someone like you will be rejecting ppl wrongly with your thinking if given the job at the consulate to interview ppl

that sounds more like tourist visa you knew no one and yet it is visit visa?

like they say, there is no smoke without fire so are you saying all visits are classified as exactly same? someone visiting for some random reason compared to dad visiting for son's graduation or family visiting for a child's marriage can not be the same else we should be run by robots already at that point sure laws exists but you and I both know that does not mean nothing. not sure you want to argue this. only normies focus too much on written laws while others bypass and dont limit themselves based on some written laws created decades ago again i am sure all visits are not created equal except you want to argue that with me and i will gladly and respectfully disagree

I see, i thought in some cases i needed to write a letter approving of their visit or something that is not the case at all? i know of examples where lets say am graduating from college and i needed them to attend my graduation, then i can write a letter to allow them to come to my graduation so nothing like that exists?

what makes the changes lower with me living in the US?

i am about to allow my dad and brother from nigeria to visit me in the US for 1 month what forms do i fill to allow this? how long processing times is this for at the moment as we all know everything is all about processing time with USCIS thanks all!

ok got it, i meant to say he is 16 years i see what you mean by 4-5 years now, makes sense ok got great info from you all thanks again!!!

currently living in nigeria and will be coming from nigeria so they are not living here currently you mentioned 4-5 years before dad can petition for half brother when petition is approved for dad, will it be temp resident before permanent resident? sorry if this sounds stupid but i havent kept up with the immigration laws and all of recent so i can sound like a noobie besides 16 years is not young lol

i certainly learnt a lot today, never knew there will be different visa for half brother and wait time is that insane the freaking I-130 should have mentioned this but they did not, i guess like they say "read the fine print" thanks to you all truly appreciate all your responses your responses are much better that the consultation fee i paid a lawyer that gave me false hope will have to seat down and go through the links you guys shard to further understand and confirm everything you all said one last thing i wanted to check can i petition for dad and half brother and then while the 15-20 years craziness continues when dad gets LPR then he can also petition for half brother as his child? can that work? so that way it is like backup plan as 2 application for half brother? is that legal and allowed?

this is crazy to me that processing time for anything can be 15 - 20 years i mean that is so long that am not even sure how they keep tab of documentations and information provided that is way too long, long enough for the world to be completely different and for a country not to exist any longer just can understand why anything should take that long what i got from lawyer is really different, maybe i need to go see any lawyer again and double check all these information i remember lawyer saying i need to start the process fast before half brother turns 18 and now you guys saying age does not even matter and processing times can be mover 2 decades so what happens when the petitioner is no longer alive by the time processing time finally arives? i just cant understand this

where do i get the information on what the visa type will be? like the f4 etc and where did you get this processing time information from?

I am USC USC

i met with a lawyer and he said i will be able to file to parent and half brother fine as long as half brother in under 18 years so what lawyer told me and what you guys are saying are completely different

from the application requirements it states, it states i can petition for parent and brother so where in this is number of years here? also i hear that if siblings(half or full) are under 18 will make things faster so after mentioning half brother is 16 years, does that change anything? source: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/guides/A1en.pdf

under 16 years old so half brother is not considered brother? what will it make it take longer if half brother compared to if brother?

yeah sorry my fault, i totally forgot step-siblings can mean not sharing same parent but in my case yes we share same parent, and that will be the parent am filing for

nopes will not be faster. what will be faster is me filing for step-brother directly as i can do that that. the application clearly statets i can file for parent or sister/brother. a step-brother is a brother

step-brother means we share a parent. you can look up the definition in seconds

what do you mean step brother will be filed for by parent? step brother is brother, isn't it? are you saying i can not file for him directly? he is under 18 years please be 100% sure of what you saying before saying it

happy 2024 everyone!!! i need help with the following 1. I am about to place application for form i-130 for my parent and step-brother and wanted to find out if i also need to file form i-864 also or when do i need to file that? 2. is it advisable to file form i-130 online? thanks
