Hello,
I have placed a similar question in Oct filers but seems every one is happy reporting their updates, I have filed I-130 in OCT for both my parents but I haven't heard about finger printing or any other update for my case, do you guys suspect any problem with my case as I am nervous as there is no communication from CSC?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I filed only I-130 as my parents are in India and also I would like to know if I will receive the notice for further steps from USCIS or will it be sent directly to my parents address in India?

Thanks
NY

The posted processing time for that category of I-130 is 5 months.

If you submitted all the required documents, you will get approval notices and the approved I-130s (one for each parent) will be sent to NVC (State Department's National Visa Center). NVC will contact YOU for the next steps of paying a fee and submitting I-864s and YOUR financial evidence for each parent.

After that, then the approved petitions and affidavits of support will be sent to the Consulate who will make further contact.

Your parents (or whoever was designated as their contacts) get further instructions.

Parents will need to make appointments for medical exams and police clearances and show documents as instructed.

No, I actually filed only I-130 and thought to do CP as my parents are in India, What are the other forms you are asking about? Do I need to file anything else along with I-130?

Thanks

For CP yopu have filed the right form, all the others forms mentioned are for AOS, Upto five months is considered normal for a I-130. Just sit back and relax......

Thanks bigbull99, I was worried looking at the statuses in the signatures of the forum members, so, the statuses shown are of AOS (I-485)? To do that the parents need to be in US at that time, right?
I believe the answer is no to this question, I cannot bring my parents in mean time on any other visa till the whole process is completed, right?

Their next entry should be as Immigrants at which time they will have Immigrant Visa Packets that get processed at the airport. Actual greencards will be sent by mail to their U.S. address.

Most folks are reporting the whole process "from filing the I-130 to their relative's entry" is taking anywhere from 6 to 18 months (those are outliers--most are 8 to 12 months). You are at month 3. Relax.
