File I-130, I-131, I-485, I-765

First of all...prepare to file ASAP...it will take 2-3 weeks to file as they will need medical checkups.. so move fast.

485 - Adjustment of status
130- Relative Petition
131-Advance Parole
765 - EAD

You will file these forms for each one of your parent. Additional things needed are
1. Affidavit of support
2. Their Birth, marriage and your birth certificates (or affidavits & non-availability)
3. Photos
4. copy of I-94 and visa
5. your returns for last 3 years
6. copy of your N-400 naturalization certificate
7. Medical Examination

I may have missed some items..check other forums...this is to help you get started.
 
AOS for my Parents.

Hi;

Thanks for your quick response. Since I am living in NJ where should i send this appications forms ?

I-485
I-130
I-693
G-325a
I-864

How Many photographs Do I need to send alogn with the application ?
Do I need to pay for I-131 and I-765 application ? (I review the I-485 application instruction and confuse for that Part).

I am taking care of that medical I-683 today, and meanwhile I am preparing all these documents. I really don't need their I-131 and I-765 but if there is no charge than I would like to apply for it.

Please reply me !!!

Thanks;

AOS for Parents while in USA on Visitor Visa

Hi Guys;

Can Please someone put the cover letter, Document Check List, and Nos. of Photos require for parents while they are in USA on Visitor Visa and citizen son/daughter wants to file the AOS.

BM13
 
All the forms goto Chicago Lockbox

you will also need 6 pics per parent. Apply for Adv parole and EAD as well as the cost is included in I-485 fee.
 
I am a U.S Citizen, planning to apply GC for my parents.

Like to know what will be the best way to file for GC.

I understand if the person is in US then we have to file for AOS , if outside US then you file for CP.

My parents are currently in India. I can ask them to come to US as a visitor and then apply AOS for them when they are here in US. Is that correct?

what is the advantage and disadvantage of doing a AOS and CP?

my parents are in India.

Appreciate any info. Thanks.
 
Here we Go Guys.....
A long, slow, Fast... I mean all emotions combined in one process..lol. It is finally done, well at least the first major part.
Below is my timeline. The interview was so brief and nothing asked really except names, and prove of marriage document, then ordered to bring 2007 income tax, and a couple days letter, case aproved. I am still amazed on how this process went smoothly. so if you are waiting, just relax and be nice to your spouse.."lol", you will be JUST FINE.
 
Urgent.... RFE for Parents Birth Certificates

Hi;

I have recently filed for my parents AOS and today morning I have received the query for their brith certificates.

I did submitted the copy of their birth certificates affidavit alongwith school leaving certificates copies.

Here is a notice.....

Birth Certificates
Available. Prior to l970, the reporting of births was voluntary. Birth certificates of Europeans, Anglo-Indians, Armenian Christians, Jews and Parsis born prior to l970 may be obtained from the State Registrar General of Births, Deaths, and Marriages. No standard or uniform certificate is issued by the authorities. In addition, acceptable certificates may often be obtained from the municipal and rural registration records, which are maintained under the state laws. Europeans, Anglo-Indians, and Indian Christians are usually able to obtain church baptismal certificates.

Under the Registration of Births and Deaths Act of l969, births are required to be registered in almost all of the States and Union Territories of India. Birth certificates are available to any applicant born on or after April l, l970, upon payment of a nominal fee to the appropriate authority.

In cases where birth certificates from the authorities are unavailable or contain insufficient information regarding the birth or the parents, a sworn affidavit executed by either the parents, if living, or other close relatives older than the applicant, may be submitted. It should set forth the relationship between the deponent and the applicant, how well the deponent knows the applicant, date and place of the applicant's birth, the names of both parents, and any other related facts. Such an affidavit, when a birth certificate is unavailable, should be accompanied by a document from a competent governmental authority confirming that the certificate does not exist, or no longer exists !!!

Please reply me asap.

Thanks;

Aos/ F1

I am a F1 student. I have recently transferred to a different school and school starts from June 1, 2008. My wife will be naturalized citizen on May 29th, 2008. We will be filing our AOS on May 3Oth so my question is do I need to go to school and maintain my F1 status if we file our application on May 29th?
Do any of you guys have any idea? Any help would be appreciated.
 
Aos

For those waiting. My mother-in-law adjusted her status in 3 months and 1 day. Interview was a breeze, lasted less than 15 minutes.

They did not stamp the passport though. Said that the stamp is not secure enough, and the card should arrive in 30 days. Should travel be required before then, advised to visit USCIS office, I guess they would stamp it then.

Good luck to all.
 
wants to petition parent

hi,

my mom has a multiple visa expiring on dec 2010, she came here may 14,2008 and was given until nov 9, 2008 (stamped on i-94). i just filed for my citizenship this may 2008. i know uscis received it already coz my check was encashed already just yesterday.

i'm planning of making her stay her until i can get my citizenship (although naturalization now takes about 12-18months processing). so that means she will be overstaying. will i have a problem because of that? she also has a stamped on her passport NO AOS/COS/EOS when she came visit 2yrs ago.

i read in some posts that if a citizen will be petitioning a parent, overstaying is forgiven? and i read the i-485 instructions about who may NOT file and it says

D. Your authorized stay expired before you filed this application;
----> this is what's going to happen if i let her overstay

F. You failed to maintain your nonimmigrant status, other than through no fault of your own or for technical reasons; unless you are applying because you are:
1. An immediate relative of a U.S. citizen (parent, spouse, widow, widower, or unmarried child under 21 years old);
----> but this one somewhat contradicts the other one.

if you have any more info or advice for me, i will greatly appreciate it.
