Hello. it depends.

My brother is currently in the US on a student visa so for #14, she provided his status along with I-94 details that's attached to his passport.

So you need to mention what status your son is and his I-94 details.

Am not sure but I believe you just need to send in a cover letter asking USCIS to upgrade the application and include a copy of your NOA(from I-130) and also a copy of your mom's passport).

Please use the search feature on this forum for more information.

secondstage, looks like you've got everything in that package. Here is more info on the i-30 application, in case you haven't seen it already: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=c67c7f9ded54d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD. Best of luck and God bless.

Received 'Request for Evidence' in the mail.

USCIS wants the following:

• Birth Document - Issues by a civil authority(we had submitted one from the hospital) or non-availability of birth certificate along with secondary evidence.
• Name Difference - Birth document from the hospital does not show the full name of the child nor of the mother ( its typical to show only the first name of the mother and/or child)

What's scary about the RFE is this wording - "Pursuant to 8 C.F.R. 103.2(b)(11) failure to submit ALL evidence requested AT ONE TIME will result in denial of application.

We will try to get a birth document from a civil authority and also for name difference, submit an affidavit.

Anything else?

Edited March 25, 2012 by second stage

[second stage 14]

We submitted the following documents in response to RFE about 3 weeks ago.

• Birth Document - Issues by a civil authority along with a notarized affidavit from Petitioner stating that the Beneficiary is her child.
• Name Difference - Submitted copies of passport along with a notarized affidavit regarding the name differences.

Received an email today that the application was approved..yay!

Now, the long wait begins for the priority date to become current!!!

[second stage 14]

Received a letter from NVC advising that there is no VISA number available(which we knew) and have to wait until next communication from NVC.

Priority Date is June 2010 so we have a long way to go.
