Any December Filers? Step up

Hi,

I am filing for my wife and daughter who are in India and never been to USA. So I filed I130 (USC spouse) and the G325A forms only. Sent these on Dec 21st and haven't gotten any response yet, my checks are not cashed yet either. I have been browsing on this forum and can't understand why people are filing so many forms I864, i485, i765, i131, i693 etc? Please help me understand.

thanks,
Sridhar

Since your wife and daughter are in India, you only need to file I-130/G325A. If your wife and daughter were in USA on a non-immigrant visa, then you would need to file the Adjustement of Status packet which contains i485/i131/i693/i864 alongwith i130. Hope this helps.
 
I mailed my entire package DEC 22nd. USPS Certified.
The delivery receipt arrived last week with Date of delivery of DEC 27th.
I am currently waiting for my funds to be withdrawn from my account.
 
Finally, I received the notices. Unfortunately for me, they all have Dec 31st date, almost a month after they were received. Well better late than never. (or later!)

Could you guys please post your DOs? I mailed on Dec 21st and my DO is Boston but nothing since then. Checks are not cashed yet.
 
"If you paid the $1010 for I 485 and the $355 for I -130 , then you do not pay for the I-131 or I 765" Is IT TRUE??

What if I103 is approved(So already paid in 2005 but less amount) then still dont have to pay for I131 and I765.

The simple Rule is: If you paid $1010 for I-485, then you do not pay for I-131 and/or I-765. Note that it only applies to your first I-131 and I-765. If your I-485 is not approved in time, and you need to file for Renewal of I-131 or I-765, then you will have to pay the filing fees for the Renewals.
Example: In my case, I had filed I-130 two years back. So I paid the filing fee of, I think $190 for I-130. Then my wife filed for I-485/I-765/I-131 for a total fee of $1010.
 
You are very lucky. I delievered my package on 12/03, and still waiting for fingerprint notice.

What is your DO? Mine is Boston, probably why it's taking longer. I mailed on Dec 20th, still waiting.

Sridharc & Robnyc

I sent in I-130 on 12/26 and received delivery receipt on 12/31. I've been checking my bank daily and the funds have not been withdrawn either. I called USCIS today and they explained there are different timelines for different applications. I am guessing since I have only a I-130 & G325A its not working as fast the the ones that have their wives here already. The rep said overall the ETC is still 6-7 months for an I-130 to get processed.

I thought at least they would send a NOA so I can go ahead with the K3 petition...oh well, things are never easy as you think.
