Do i need to send

  • my G-325A? (I believe that only spouse petition case requires this.)
  • my passport photos? (same as above)
  • parents' first page of passports? (the personal info page. The instruaction says only visa page on passports)

I'm almost done. Please help me out to finish this long~ preparation.
Thanks so much.

Everything looks good.

I see that for you dad's 485, you are including some type of proof that you and your husband is living in the same household. Is it for I-864A?

Also, since I-131 can be filed for free with 485, you might as well apply for both. This will serve two purposes:

1. In an emergency, your parents could leave US.

2. Processing updates on I-131 show that your case is progressing - just a mental satisfaction.

Thanks. Visanutz

the proof was for I-864A.
I was too lazy to fill one more form..but i will include I-131.
By the way, can you confirm the additional documents i questioned?

how long to wait before applying

My mom had interview yesterday at Newark. I was her translator and officer didn’t ask anything except 2 questions.

However as you may see from this forum that there is a debate about when to apply for GC while on visitor visa i.e. 30, 60 or 90 days after... and to that note the most important 2 questions officer asked is

1. What date and why did she came to America?
2. When and why she decided to stay here permanently and apply for GC.

So, I feel lucky that I waited 3 months before applying otherwise it would have been difficult to explain answer to these 2 questions. I am not saying that Officer could have denied the case, but you never know.

Hope this helps

Good Luck

I was wondering if anyone had an experience with applying for GC soon after their parents entered the US (say between 30 and 60 days) and being called for an interview. Does it create a lot of problems? What kind of questions are asked? Do denials happen?

Also, could you provide the links to the discussion, if there was one on this subject (of when to apply for AOS)? thank you.
 
I want to apply for my mom's GC but she does not have any vaccination records. Will she have to get any vaccinations here or those are all waived for the age (she is 60+)?
 
Blade.. It was the same situation with my mother. Just make an appt with a civil surgeon and they will do everything necessary.
