I-130 receipt Hi, I applied I-130 and I-485 for my mom who is currently in the US. I received the receipt notice today for I-130; there is no mention of my I-485 application. What usually happens when we apply together? Is this something to be concerned about? What should I do? Please help...

Birthcertificate missing Thank you for your reply. I have one more question. My mom has no birth certificate. She is 65+ and there is only my aunt (her elder sister) that is alive now who is older to my mom. I have included her school ceritificate for proof of birth. Is an affidavit...

Can we copy the naturalization certificate? I got my naturalization certificate and am ready to apply I-130 for my mom along with I-485. Question is, on the nat cert, it is written on RED that "it is unlawful to copy this certificate". But the application for my mom requires a COPY - right? Did...

US passport required to petition for mother? Hi, I passed my Citizenship interview yesterday and have my oath ceremony coming up on 19th May. I plan to apply I-130 and I-485 simultaneously for my mom who is currently with me in US. Can I apply as soon as I get my certificate on 19th May? Do I...

Interview completed at El monte I had my interview yesterday (5/3/06) at El Monte. Here are some of my experiences and observations for what it is worth... 1. There is parking available inside the building for $8.00 (actually, $1.00 for every 30 mins up to a max of $8.00). There is also road...

Documents required for Interview Hi all, I have my interview coming up on 3rd May. I know some people have posted what they took for the interview. Can someone please tell me what all documents are required apart from those listed on the notice? Should I request for a DMV report? What else...

Cannot extend Thank you Jenimmi, but she has extended her stay one time already and I don't think we can apply for 2 extensions within the same trip?! Obviously I cannot state the reason for extension as "will be filing I-485" because B1 visitor is meant for NON-Immigration purpose ! Other than...

Important questions One important question please.....my citizenship interview is on May 3rd 2006. My mom is currently in US with B1 visitor visa. Her I-94 expires on 15th April 2006. Can I have her over-stay on her I-94 until my interview is over and I take my oath so that I can apply for her...

Finger Printing done Thank you for all your input. I finally waited until my appointment time and got the finger printing done on Thursday -26th Jan at 3pm. It was really a breeze; I reached the center at 2:35p and went straight through - no waiting, in fact I finished the FP and even reached...

FP notice received I got my FP notice on 14th Jan; appointment is on 26th Jan at 3pm. I want to know if I should wait until 26th Jan or could I go earlier than that? Will they do the FP if I go earlier? Any experiences? Thank you..

No receipt yet Hi, I filed for my citizenship (N400) on 19th Dec 2005. I see that my check was cashed on 29th Dec 2005, but I still have not received any notification from the USCIS about receipt of my application? From the posts here, it seems like only 2 weeks to get the receipt, but mine has...

I want to know if my mom is in US on a visitor visa when I get my oath letter, does she qualify to remain here so that I can apply I130 AND I485 at the same time? And if I do that, will she remain "in status"? Since you mentioned that your parents are here since 2000, what was their status at...

more information please? Can you please share when her extension was denied, how many days/weeks after the denial letter did she leave?, did I-94 expire by that time and after how long did she come back? Thank you.
