After you submit concurrent I-130 and I-485 applications and receive the receipts, it is legal to stay until there is a decision about the case. You do not need to apply for a visitor visa extension.

Just wanted to check if anyone could provide the the best options for medical insurance for green card holders who are above 75 years. My parents are new immigrants and I am trying to explore the options for healthcare coverage.

My parents had their interview today and their I-485 status changed to Card Production. My mom's fingerprints were too light and so during the 2nd FP appointment, the USCIS agent told us that we will be notified what we need to do. We were a little tense at that time. Then a month after the FP...

We received the letter scheduling my parents interview in December. My mom's fingerprints were too light and after the second FP appointment, the USCIS officer told us that we would receive a letter about the further course of action. Subsequently we received the letter scheduling their I-485...

I had filed for my parents' green card thru concurrent filing of I-130 and I-485 in August'14. They had their fingerprints taken in the first week of September. After a couple of weeks my mom got another fingerprint notice for the first week of October because the first set of fingerprints were...

My mom is 76 years old and I have filed for her GC as concurrent I-130/I-485 filing. She was called for a FP appointment yesterday because the first set of fingerprints were rejected. This time the official taking the fingerprints said that the prints are still not clear and may be rejected...

Thanks :)

While the I-130 and I-485 are pending, is it possible to apply for SSN or is an approved EAD required for SSN to be issued?

It is okay to concurrently file I-130 and I-485 for your mom who is on visitor's visa. Just make sure that you do not submit the application immediately after her arrival to USA. Just make sure that there is a gap of at least a couple of months from her date of arrival so that there is no issue...

On the I-130, for the question 22, we were not aware that it has to be the USCIS office where the relative will go for AOS. We filled out the City name where we reside instead of the city name of nearest USCIS office. Will we need to send a correction to USCIS?

Venu123, since you have already submitted the paperwork, it is be better to be patient than panic about it. It is recommended that you wait 90 days but I know of cases where they started the green card processing for their parents who entered on B-2 visa, just a month after they came to US. They...

My friend is applying for Green Card for her widow mother. From some of the other posts, I read that marriage certificate is not a requirement if applying for mother. However will there be any requirement to submit a marriage affidavit to show the change in last name after marriage?

I am writing this on behalf of a friend who intends to apply for Visitors visa for her mother. My friend is a naturalized US citizen and wants to bring her mother(who is a senior citizen) to USA. In case her mom adjusts to the environment, she intends to apply for a Green Card. Will there be any...

The waiting time for the interview date to be rescheduled is dependent on your local District Office and your luck. Once you reschedule, it is possible that there may be no online updates and so you will need to be patient and just have faith that it will work out just fine. If it gets really...

Response to the query Hi Shah007, 1) My friend's had some family issues and so there was a possibility that she would need to go out of the country. So she contacted the local Congressman to expedite the rescheduling process since she did not get the interview letter even 2 weeks after...

Interview rescheding Here's my experience with interview rescheduling: http://forums.immigration.com/showthread.php?547812-Interview-rescheduling My interview was originally scheduled for 4/2/12. Since I was scheduled to be out of the country at that time, I sent a letter to USCIS...

Passport application It depends upon your location. In Detroit, the Passport Agency is just across the street from the courthouse where the oath ceremony took place and you can apply immediately after the oath. If you are applying at the Passport Agency, you need not submit the original...

Thanks Thanks rjackal. The oath ceremony in Detroit is at the Theodore Levin United States Courthouse on 231 W Lafayette Blvd. In case you plan to apply for the passport immediately after the oath, it may be preferable to fill out the passport form in advance (though you can fill it after...

Is the latest checklist of the OCI application package available on this forum for Chicago? Can I send the OCI and Travisa fees as well as the Citizenship Renunciation fees in one money order/cashier's check? Earlier there were 2 copies required for all documents including the...

Now a US citizen Oath ceremony on 4/26/12 was really good. Yes, now I am a US citizen :) Applied for the passport immediately after the ceremony at the Detroit Passport Agency. Was not prepared for it but when the Passport agent briefed us about the advantages that it would be an expedited...
