Thanks for the reply! Will the notary public accept my own translation of the marriage certificate?

I'm a naturalized U.S. citizen. I filed I-130 petition for my brother who has been in his home country. He got married recently after I filed the petition. I want to add his wife to his I-130 petitition and asked NVC about required documents. NVC (National Visa Center) told me to submit the...

I'm a U.S. citizen and have filed immigrant petition (I-130) for my brother. I have received I-797 approval notice from USCIS, in which I'm told that USCIS has sent the original visa petition to the Department of State National Visa Center (NVC) at Portsmouth, NH, and that NVC processes all...

LucyMO, Thanks for the reply! It sounds easy enough. Glad that I don't have to do anything at this time!

I'm a naturalized U.S. citizen. After I filed I-130 for my brother who resides in his home country, he got married. How can I add his wife to his application? 1) Do I need to alter his application to change his status from Single to Married, and add his wife's info? 2) What documents do I...

Thanks for the responses to all! Initially he agreed to leave before his visa expired. Then he accidentally talked to some illegal immigrants who told him that some people had paid $100K each person in order to come to the U.S. The illegal immigrants told him to stay like they did and make...

I've already talked to him many times. He doesn't listen. He has some special needs, that's why I've been tolerant of this behavior. I'm afraid that calling the authorities may turn me into his enemy. I also wonder if the authorities will actually take the action to get him out of the...

I have a relative who has been visiting me for over 6 months. Although his visa only allowed him to stay for 6 months, he refused to return to his home country after his visa expired a month ago. This causes me a lot of emotional and financial stress. I really want him to return leave ASAP. I...

Thanks for the comment and happy new year!

Thanks for the inputs!

I'm a U.S. citizen, and my brother is visiting me from China and his allowed time to stay is 6 months. I wonder if I can file an application to extend his visit by another 6 months. - What documents are required to file an extension? - What reason(s) shall I use for the extension? May I say...

I recently got laid off. I'm concerned this may impact my close relatives. I plan to invite my father for a visit and I believe that requires an employment letter to show my current income (but I don't have one). Also, I've filed I-130 petition for a brother in China and I wonder if my...

Thanks to all for your input! Another question: There are multiple entries on form I-130 and at least one entry on form G-325A about my foreign relative's home address abroad. Interesting thing is that the official address of his home (that appears on his residence card) is "invalid". By...

I'm a U.S. citizen. My brother is on his temporary visitor's visa in the U.S. and plans to return before his visitor's visa expires. After he arrived in the U.S., I filed I-130 petition for his immigration because I wanted to put him in the long-wait queue (that may take 12 or 20 years)...

Guinness and Jennifer, Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm filing I-130 petition for a relative. I've completed G-325A forms (for me and him respectively). I see that there are duplicate copies of the same G-325A form in different colors (pink, green, yellow, etc). Shall I keep one copy and send the remaining copies, or shall I submit all the...

KittenKat & LucyMO, Thanks for the advice!

When he applies for a visitor's visa in the future, will the consulate know that he has an immigration petition pending?

I'm a U.S. citizen. My brother is on his temporary visitor's visa and plans to return after a short visit. If I file I-130 for his immigration during his visit, will it affect his temporary visit? FYI, on I-130 form, there is an item "Arrival/Departure Record (I-94)". I'll need to fill in his...
