If you like the In-laws go with AOS, if you hate the In-laws go with CP:p

The sooner you submit the request, the sooner you can get the documents back.

No problem.

ONE person is allowed to accompany the beneficiary. I wouldn't change the date of the interview since rescheduling could take up to 6 months or more and there is no guarantee that they will schedule them together.

Samcal, the immunization schedule is found on the CDC website http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/schedules/adult-schedule.htm or call 1 800 CDC INFO. At the very least they'll need Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis, Mumps, Measles, Rubella, Varicella (if they haven't had chicken pox), Pneumoccocal...

Getead, The affidavit must be sworn. It doesn't matter what kind of paper it is on. You could print it out neatly by hand if you don't have a printer. Take it to a local notary or commissioner of oaths and sign it in front of them. Just be sure to tell them you need it sworn. If your uncle...

I wouldn't ask the officer at your wife's interview. Once she becomes a citizen then ask away but you are far better to ask the people in these boards. The USCIS officers are not there to give advice or necessarily help you. People in the forums are out to help you.

Praetorian XI, unfortunately my hard drive is dying and sometimes CRTL + Z works and sometimes it doesn't. Several of the documents as submitted are gone now. A request under the FAIO to Lee's Summit has gone unanswered and all my hard copies were mistakenly destroyed. Area 51, where are...

I had a long reply but my computer ate it. CP is much less stressful. The only drawback is that you lose the ability to appeal a decision that is available under the AOS. If you need a mandamus or a certiorari from the federal courts it could cost you $10,000 or more to launch and litigate an...

I can only comment on the I-130 process through Montreal. You really don't do anything on your own, only what the NVC in Portsmouth tells you to do. The NVC will advise you exactly what they want and you send it in. When your file is complete, the NVC will forward your case to Montreal who...

Update: Phoned in today and as of July 27 Mom's finally been listed to be scheduled for the interview at Montreal. Only several months and a few million letters later and we're on our way. At least I won't have to phone Portsmouth anymore. Hope Mom and Dad get an early interview!

That's great news! I think if they give you a hassle keep bugging them until they relent and see things your way. If you don't try it, who will?

Keep holding on! USCIS may be slow but I'm sure they'll cash your check one of these days. A government agency that doesn't want to steal your money right away, imagine that!

Update 2: Things are starting to look up. I mailed out my fourth package with copies of both affidavits and copies of the documentation that I sent before. That was at 4PM EDT. I also made sure that I enclosed a bar code sheet with the package since one USCIS clerk told me that much of what is...

I would talk to the USCIS people. Frequently they send out forms without reading the documents closely. I was told that if you haven't got the IRS extract then the reader may or may not understand what they're looking at. A reader has about 1 minute to read a document so make it easy on him...

Update: After much distress (I should take my own advice and relax!) and haranging of USCIS personnel I was able to determine that my mother's affidavit was in fact lost, so now that I sent out a new affidavit everything should proceed as planned. I was told by the folks at the NVC that if...

You get the extract from the IRS, not your actual return unless it is unavailable (usually if the information from the return has not yet been achived) from the IRS.

Again not an issue if you have your parents's marriage certificate showing that her name changed. I assume that some element of her maiden name is still part of her name. Explain it anyways to the USCIS folks and you should be OK. If you can find something from the internet about naming...

Not an issue. USCIS will just ignore the superfluous info. If your birth certificate has your parents' names then that's all they need. If I understand you correctly, your mother's name on the b/c is your maternal grandfather's name. If you're really concerned then just drop the USCIS folks...

Looks like you'll need to go the affidavit route. Contact the Pakistani Consulate in Mumbai first and see what they say. If you get no results then start gathering all the evidence that proves your father's DOB. Any documents, papers, forms, etc. will help. Get older relatives and/or friends...
