I-130 parents approval at VSC (rcpt dt AUG 2006 and after)

I-130 approved

Here is an update of the I-130 I filed for my parents at VSC in 05/2007. On 07-19-2007 they sent a notice requesting additional info. Basically I had used affidavits from my parents to establish my date of birth and who my parents were. And since my parents were themselves the beneficiary of this petition, they asked additional affidavits for my Date of birth from people other than my parents. It took me 2 weeks to send that over. They entered that in the system around 08-15-2007 (although they received them by the end of July or so). I received their approval notice dated 08-28-2007.

The NVC sent me an Affidavit of support fee bill on 09-18-2007 which I sent in the next day. I am waiting for the next step now.

POINTS TO REMEMBER:
If your parents had supplied affidavits for establishing your DOB, please do not use them in petitions where they are the beneficiaries.

The affidavit of Support processing bill: for US citizens petitioning for parents, need to file two separate I-130's. You would get two different bills for AOS processing, however you have to send in only one fee and just enclose the other bill with it. I actually called them and confirmed that before turning in only one fee.
 
Mom passed her interview in London today. She will probably be arriving in the US around the end of Oct or early Nov. 7 month turnaround seems reasonable.
