My mom did work during her overstay, but USCIS didn't ask any questions about that. The total cost was just payment for the i130 and i485 + $200 medical fee. It took 4 months till the actual green card.

I received the I-130 approval also about a month later after the i485 approval.

I live in Chicago suburbs and I've received the same online notice. The interview was at Downtown Chicago. It most likely will be the Downtown, so get ready.

Passport photos for the I-130 isn't needed for parents based petitions.

A friend of mine who is a GC holder had quite an interesting experience, so I thought I would share this.. 1. Leaves the U.S. 2. Comes back to Chicago after 2yrs and 1 month 3. The POE officer is being nice and asks how long he is been out of the country 4. He says close to 2yrs, and the POE...

I petitioned my mother who overstayed a tourist visa by 11 years. The process was smooth. The USCIS is very serious about a legal entry, so you must provide proof of that. If they are clean, no criminal records, have proof of legal entry, then the process is pretty straight forward.

Are you suppose to receive an approval notice for the I-130?

Interesting case. Any updates on it?

Probably a system error. I think you'll get the card in a few days.

Hey, I applied for my mom. See the timeline below. The next step is EAD if you applied for one, but if not, then wait for the interview letter.

Still no interview letter? :confused:

No reason to be pissed :cool:

Yeah, the patience is driving me nuts. Long story short I am petitioning a parent and at the interview the IO officer requested a marriage cert., or divorce cert., either one, and we didn't have it. So she gave us her direct fax number and told us to fax within 2 days or just mail it if it's...

I don't think so. The CP process is long and might be lots of hassle involved. I just don't understand the whole idea of waiting "3 months" before applying. What difference does it make when you apply it? You either way applying for a GC and by doing this you intend to live in the US.

Can it get more frustrating than getting RFE at interview?
