    GC for Parents - AOS and CP - Information Source

    If you are able to get a new certificate with last name (English or otherwise), attach both certificates and mention why you had to get a duplicate certificate. Make sure to annotate the copy of your new certificate and mention in cover letter as well.

    Check with your nearest Indian consulate if they provide you with BC and NABC (based on Indian passport).

    uk01, I've been reading the other thread too. As per my understanding, BC must have date of birth, place of birth and both parents' names. You can certainly try with PAN card if you are not able to get any other evidence before the deadline. The key is to respond within the deadline...

    uk01, No harm in taking Infopass appt. On the other hand, it should help in clarifying. On Chicago Misc Services form, they have an option for "Other" - may be you could try that. Another option is to get it from NY consulate (giving a mailing address from NY/NJ/PA or in that...

    uk01, As part of my I-130 RFE, they attached a page titled "India Reciprocity Schedule". The same text is available at: http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/reciprocity/reciprocity_3582.html#docs (search for "Birth Certificates"). This might help. As per this document, a sworn affidavit...

    If I remember correctly, it took about a week. BTW I live on the East Coast (West Coast or Mid-west residents may receive earlier).

    helloUSA's is a different case - applying only for one parent and not for the other parent. Your case, you are applying for both parents - just different method.

    surya_p, If you happen to look at recent messages in the forum, you will notice that CSC timelines are currently about 3 months once the case is transferred (this excludes the time for RFE response). But 5 months is a good time to go with. Hope this helps.

    dde, That's a good question and important one too. Though the visa is valid but it establishes your intent to immigrate prior to their arrival. Looks like you are back to the CP option. I may have jumped the gun too quickly with my earlier response. Thanks.

    uk01, The RFE I received (related to birth evidence of petitioner), the time given was 87 days. However, I am not sure if different RFEs have different deadlines. Hope this helps.

    dde, I-130 timelines are typically 3 months what I am seeing these days. You can apply for I-130 now and then apply for I-485 (AOS) next summer if your parents plan to visit. That may still be the quickest way. I remember seeing some messages on this forum about some issues faced in...

    You can think of changing only your birth certificate. Can't change mother's because name on passport will then be different. Another option: If you were born in India and after June 2, 1969, you can non-availability from Indian consulate and supplement with two affidavits to provide as...

    I didn't see Chicago Misc Services form having NABC service option. Some consulates may include NABC paragraph right in the birth certificate (which therefore doesn't necessitate a separate NABC). Chicago could be one of them. Have you tried calling them (you may need to dial a few times...

    While AOS application is in process, your parents can stay in US beyond 6 months without need to file any extension. If they have to visit the home country for any other reason, they can travel on Advance Parole (I-131 can be filed concurrently with I-485 at no additional cost).

    GC for Parents - AOS and CP - Information Source

    dde, Simplistically put, it's preferable to stay NOT more than 6 months at a time outside of US after receiving GC (this is keeping in mind you would want to apply for citizenship when they are eligible). Just to maintain GC (without citizenship consideration), you should not live more...

    GC for Parents - AOS and CP - Information Source

    CP is lot slower than AOS. When concurrently filed (I-130 and I-485 together) for AOS, typical timelines are under 6 months (in general, but not guaranteed in every case). Hope this helps.

    My hunch is that you didn't wait for 90 days before you filed for AOS. For interview experience, pls see post #2266 on page 76. You will need to be prepared to answer question about their intent to immigrate when they entered US or why your parents had to so quickly decide to immigrate...
