    fjelltronen, Thank you for the reply and answers.... Yeah, I read the instructions, but they are not that specific :/ I think I am going to go with multiplying it for 52, since it's more accurate to what I made last year... I got a raise this year, so I want to put this year's estimated income...

    UPDATE After I completed the Choice of Agent form and paid the Affidavit of Support fee (October 6th), 3 days later is when I actually received the Welcome Letter in the mail.

    manupool, Your mom can in fact apply for her green card through you (US Citizen) while she is here on her tourist visa. I don't think there is a problem if she is staying (and plans on staying) in OH. The problems begin when you change your address (or the beneficiary's address) in the middle...

    I-130 Petition for Parents of US Citizens through Consular Processing.

    voken, You should decide wether you want to do Consular Processing OR Adjustment of Status BEFORE you submit the I-130. If your dad comes in while the I-130 is in process (which might not even be a good thing within itself), you may run into issues later because his intent for coming was not...

    UPDATE One more update on my case. I called NVC this morning and they told me they just received my case yesterday... She said it would take "up to a month" to assign an NVC # and Invoice # and that if I had provided my email to USCIS then I would get this info sent to me by e-mail.
