I-130 for parents

Hi all,
I have submitted IV fee bill and AOS on May-19-2008.
I need to wait atleast 3-4 weeks to recieve DS-230. I have couple of ?s regarding DS-230.Please help me guys:
1. Since I am the agent for my parents, I will recieve DS-230.
Do I need to fill the form myself or get the signature only from my parents .
2. Do I need to download the DS-230 just like AOS or NVC sends me the DS forms?

Thanks in advace

Thank you ml_boston!

The reason I have question bout I-693 is because when I called USCIS about the related forms; I was told by 2 different reps that I-693 is not required but USCIS will notify the applicant if it is needed.

Anyway, I will go ahead to have the medical examination done.

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.

The n-400 timelines sped up significantly over the past few months. The 12-18 month estimate was due to the rush of applicants last summer who were trying to beat the fee increases, combined with the rush off applicants trying to get citizenship in time for the 2008 elections. Check the citizenship forums, there's usually a thread for most service centers, and you can see recent timelines. My guess is you'll make it in time.

Correct, immediate relative petitions ignore overstay status. You can refer to INA 245(c)(2) which says the overstay exclusion does not apply to immediate relatives.

However, the 3/10 year bar still applies. So if your parent overstays for 6+ months, and has to leave for some emergency before filing the I-485 or while the I-485 is in process, she will be banned from reentry for 3 years. If she stays in the US until the I-485 is approved, the ban won't apply.

Also, USCIS can deport her at any time while she is out of status. In the rare event that deportation processes are initiated, you could not do AOS via the I-485.

Im sure this has been asked hundreds of times..... Do you have to be 21 or over to sponsor a parent I-130 I-485??? I'm 20 at the moment. thanks
 
Main sponsor has no income?

Hi All

We are trying to sponsor green card for my Mom. I dont have Citizienship but my sister does. She does not work so has no income but her husband does.
Is it sufficient if he is added as the co-sponsor?

Many Thanx
