I am in the process of filling out I-130 for my parents living in Russia. Obviously, the Embassy in Russia is no longer processing immigrant visas. They initially designated Warsaw instead, but now I see that parents of a US citizen can also apply in Almaty and Tashkent. Looks like IR-5 means...

No I have not filed anything, not even I-130. I was just researching the process at that time. In the middle of preparing I-130 right now and based on the feedback received here I-485 is not very applicable to my situation so I won't be filing that.

Sorry if this is not the right space for this question, could not find a more feasible one. If my elderly (80 and 74 yo) parents get a green card and move to the US close to me (Florida), what would be their health insurance options? I assume I would have to sign some kind of sponsorship...

Thanks. Any idea re current processing timelines when I-130 is filed from the home country?

Understood, thank you. In this case, I assume the intent would be determined based on the fact that they filed I-130 and I-485 at the same time, soon after entering the US? If they file the I-130 in their home country and then enter the US on B1/2 visa and decide to file I-485, is that a...

Can you please clarify what you mean by "it would not affect their case"? Means they can stay longer than 6 months if they filed I-485?

Trying to apply for green cards for my elderly parents via I-130. Heard that it may be a good idea to apply for adjustment of status, I-485 while they are in the US. Would love to hear from someone with a real life experience doing this. More specific questions: 1. Does concurrent I-485 really...

Ticket - Buy a refundable ticket and return it as soon as you apply. I have done this in the past when applying for U.K. visa which requires presenting a proof of travel (i.e. purchased ticket).

Thanks for the responses. I definitely am planning to apply for her US passport right after the ceremony. And as namecheckvictim recommends, I still want to get N-600. We do live in the States now, but may be moving abroad within a few months so I wanted to see if I will be able to receive...

I will be taking the oath in August and have a couple of questions about N-600 application for my 11 y.o. daughter: 1. Does anyone know how long it typically takes for N-600 to get approved? If anyone knows typical processing times in MA that would be even better. 2. Given all the...

Hi all, I've made a bad mistake by filing my N-400 several days before I met physical presence condition. My application was accepted in September, I made it all the way through the interview. During the interview immigration officer informed me that I’m not eligible because I was out of...

My wife and I are about to apply for naturalization N-400. Our 10 year old daughter meets all the requirements as well. Do I need to file a separate application for her, pay full fee etc? Or does this work differently for kids? Ideally, I'd like her to become citizen asap, without waiting to...

BobSmyth - thanks for your reply. What you say sounds logical, however, if you read A Guide to Naturalization (M-476), here's how exactly it is worded (page 49): == If you have taken any trip outside the United States that lasted six months or more since becoming a Permanent Resident, send...

I'm preparing my N-400 application and here's one problem I'm not sure how to handle: According to the Document Checklist, if since establishing my residency I had been out of the country for more than 6 months (which I was in 2002), I have to submit my IRS tax return transcript (this should...
