Hey guys,

I recently became a US citizen and am planning to file green card for my parents. They have been visiting us every year for last 10 years and are coming again in May 2009. Do I need to wait 90 days before I can file I130 on their behalf? I read in a couple of places that if you file immediately after their arrival, it creates a duality of intent, since they are entering US with Non-immigrant intent but then filing for I130 creates an Immigrant intent. I am thoroughly confused and would appreciate any pointers that you may have.

Also, does anyone know if Consular processing is faster that I485 (AOS) - I am based out of Colorado.

Thanks much in advance to all of you in this community, who have made it so successful.

Ashish
 
April 2009 Filer

Hello

I am from New York and my USC wife has sponsored me to get Adjustment of Status through marriage. Since we couldn't afford a lawyer, we did all the applications ourselves. And thanks to everyone on this forum, we were able to complete and submit the package (forms i-130, i-485, i-765) without any problems. Here is my time line:

-April 3rd, 2009: Mailed package via USPS priority Mail from New York
-April 6th, 2009: Package received at Chicago Lockbox
-April 17th, 2009: Received NOA's for all three applications

As of today, the receipt numbers are not available online and I am waiting for my fingerprint appointment letter. In the meantime, I am contemplating if I should apply for my travel documents while my case is pending, just in case I decide to travel outside the United States this summer. I understand I have to file form i-131, but the form is a little confusing. So I was hoping if someone can help me clarify a few items in this form, such as:

-Part 1, Question 3: What do I put for “Class of Admission”?
-Part 2, Application type: Which letter should I select?
-Part 3, Questions 1 and 2: What if I don’t have an exact travel time since I haven’t planned my trip yet, can I just put an estimate?

Thanks in advance for any help regarding this matter and good luck to all of you April 2009 filers.

Case Transfered to Another Office for Processing

Hello: Everybody, today I finally could update my info.in the USCIS web page, after I submit all the reciept #, I got an LUD on 485 and I-130,and an email from CRIS stating that the case is transferred to the CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER location for processing. What does it mean? and did any one else have got update like this?
 
hello: nycfeng: that a good question, how do they have my email, I guess in my info is my email, or maybe when I create my profile, I have to put an email, everytime, you change a password, or any modification in your portafolio, the CRIS will send you an email confirming the change it, so maybe that how recieved that. but I'm just concern if by tranfering my case from the NSC, to CSC, it a good sign or not?, I hope it will be for good. Did you put your info, and the reciept # in their website?. Pls let me know ok
