GC for Parents - AOS and CP - Information Source

I applied I-130 for my parents in May. This is for CP Processing.
I don't see much information about the people filed through CP in this forum.
Can anyone tell me if there is a separate forum for CP processing ?


I sent only I-130 because they are currently out of country. Do I have to send any other forms? / should i be ready with any other forms?

can someone guide me?

Thank you.

The only forum on this site (that I'm aware of) is mentioned in my post yesterday.

Gurus,

I have following questions. It would be very helpful if you guys can answer them.

1. Will there be interview for parents before approving green card?
2. Processing time for parents is same as DO's processing time?

Most likely not. I have not seen an interview yet on this forum.

No. Parent GCs don't go to the DO. After NBC finishes its processing, NBC sends them to CSC instead of the DOs. Most of the time, CSC is faster.

Well, I guess I spoke too soon. The first GC parent interview (that I've seen) was posted today.

I-130 question

At the end of the form they ask under Part D 2. Have you ever before filed a petition for this or another alien. Are they talking about filing of I-130 petition only? My mother has filed I-539 extension of stay petition sponsored by me whose result is still awaited. What should I write there?

Some Qs : I-130, I-485, G-325a and I-693

Would appreciate if someone knows the answers for these Qs. I am filing I-130/I-485 form my mom, who is in US on tourist visa:

1) I-130:
Q1C. Mom's address - should this be US address or India address?
Q17. Husband's name : He is deceased. Should we still list his name?
Q20. Native Alphabet - name and address : should we print name/address in the native indian language?

2) I-485:
Part 2: What should be "Appln. type" for concurrent filing of I-130 & I-485? Is this ok : "h) An immediate relative petition is being filed concurrently with this application"

Part 3A:
-NAME AS IT APPEARS ON I94: FIRST,LAST OR LAST,FIRST?
-Were you inspected by a US Immigration officer? I guess this answer should be Yes.
-Nonimmigrant Visa number: Is it control number or the red number on B1 visa?

Part 3B:
PRESENT HUSBAND : he is deceased - should we write his name or leave it blank?
Q2 : Public assistance in Past/future: No public assistance in past. But if they apply for MediCal, whats the impact/answer?


G-325a:
File Number : A. : What should be filled here? My mom doesnot have A#.
PARENTS : CITY/COUNTRY : My mom's parents are deceased - should we still list them?
Husband :He is deceased - should we still list him?
ALIEN REGISTRATION #: What should be filled here? My mom doesnot have A#.


I-693
Home address: should it be address in India or in US (my mom is visiting US).

Thanks,
rkbk

Do I (sponsor) need to fill out G325A also besides the applicant?

The answer to that question depends upon your relation to applicant. If applicant is your spouse then yes you have to fill for yourself and applicant. Yours goes in I-130 and applicant's goes in I-130 and I-485.
If applicant is your parent(s) then only for applicant along with I-485

Thanks,

I don't know the answer to the question whether you should write your father's name but others I will try to answer as I have done.
1) I-130:
Q1C. Mom's address - should this be US address or India address?
Q17. Husband's name : He is deceased. Should we still list his name?
Q20. Native Alphabet - name and address : should we print name/address in the native indian language?
Click to expand...
- Cant Find Q1C. If you mean Section C, Q2 - then I wrote overseas(India) address and Section C, Q18 address here in US.
- I kept the native alphabet section blank.

2) I-485:
Part 2: What should be "Appln. type" for concurrent filing of I-130 & I-485? Is this ok : "h) An immediate relative petition is being filed concurrently with this application"

Yes

Part 3A:
-NAME AS IT APPEARS ON I94: FIRST,LAST OR LAST,FIRST?
-Were you inspected by a US Immigration officer? I guess this answer should be Yes.
-Nonimmigrant Visa number: Is it control number or the red number on B1 visa?
Click to expand...
- LAST, FIRST because thats how it was on I-94
- Yes
- Dont remember but first 4 digits seems to be the year of the visa issue.

Part 3B:
PRESENT HUSBAND : he is deceased - should we write his name or leave it blank?
Q2 : Public assistance in Past/future: No public assistance in past. But if they apply for MediCal, whats the impact/answer?

- Keep it no for assistance. You wont want to get rejected because youc an be burden.

G-325a:
File Number : A. : What should be filled here? My mom doesnot have A#.
PARENTS : CITY/COUNTRY : My mom's parents are deceased - should we still list them?
Husband :He is deceased - should we still list him?
ALIEN REGISTRATION #: What should be filled here? My mom doesnot have A#.

Thanks Andromeda2007!

In G325a "Applicant's Residence last 5 years", for my mom, do I list her tourist visa vacations to US too - starting with her current stay with us in US ?(she has been coming to visit us almost every year and staying here for 4-6 mon, and then back in India for 6-7 months) for the past 5 years. I will have to attach an extra sheet as I am out of space in the g-325a form.
