I-130 Petition for Parents of US Citizens through Consular Processing.

applied for i130 my parents in morocco

Hi everyone and thanks for the precious information
this is my time line

7/23/12 mailed I130 for both parents
7/27/12 I got NOTICE that they received my applications for both parents

Still waiting on aproval ...I called them twice they keep saying under initial review ...I also checked online and it s still under initial review

By the way my parents already have 10 years tourist visa they came to the USA 3 times do u guys think that might help in the process time since they already have a non immigrant visa?

I can't wait for them to come ...

Thanks....so how did you get the forms signed by your parents? Did you fedex them back and forth or can you scan it to them and they sign and scan it back? My point....does the original form need to be signed or are scanned copies ok too?

I did it via scan process & also I sent the form to NVC by email (scanned copies). Waiting for their reply or I will call them today to make sure the delivery of DS3032. They have said in their mail that we can send it via fax also so I don't think, their is any requirement that only original is accepted.

The approval should take about 2-3 months....the average time is 5 months. The previous trips or 10 yr visa don't make any difference to the application.

Good, Now you and you parent need to fill out a Choise of Agent form, where your parent will choose you as an agent for them. Then you should get a netter from NVC with acase number and pin. Once you get it you should be able pay the AOS fee on line and GC Application fee online, one after other.

I got the Choice of agent forms and the invoice for AoS fee and 2 separate letters with case ID and pin nos. Do I need to go in any order or can I just pay the fee online first and then follow with the DS3032 and I 864? Since I'll have the choice of agent form scanned,signed and printed,the sign will be a printout. Is that OK or original signatures are needed?

Thanks a lot.
 
Just need another confirmation...and sorry for so many questions....I am sponsoring my mom and dad and my husband is the joint sponsor. So he needs to fill I864A for both and I will fill I864 for both ...so 4 forms in all,right?
Thanks!

I did pay for my Father (i paid online) & when i logged in with my Mother's case number it was showing as processing (same as it was showing for my Father). I called NVC & they have told me to send I-864. No original needed, i confirmed with NVC...scanned copies via email also accepted.
 
Hi. So i was looking at I864 instructions for my parent's CP. I am not working and my husband's income and tax returns is what we'll be showing.So does that make my husband Joint Sponsor or does he come under the Other Household Memeber category for I864A ?Also,we need to fill 2 separate I864A forms for my mom and dad,right?
Thanks!

I'm filling out the I-130 for my mom abroad.

Do I gotta translate my birth certificate to english?
In the section C.17. of the I-130 do I have to write my name too? I'm guessing I should since it says all children, and it should be my married name, am I right?

Thank you.

yes i am hoping too, for all whose cases are still pending and best of luck for you parent .. Keep us updated
 
Hi folks....I need help please. I'm sponsoring my parents but I have no income since I'm not working. We are showing my husband's income (we file joint income taxes). Does that make him Joint Sponsor or Other Family member. What do I write in Part 1 of I 864...... I am the petitioner/ I am the only joint sponsor/ OR I am one of the two joint sponsors?
Your help is really needed and appreciated as we have to send these out by the weekend. Thanks.

Hi Everybody:

Thanks for creating a forum for parents GC consular processing. I live in FL and will be filling the I-130 for my parents GC.

- Could anyone of you please let me know if the application will be forwarded to Vermont or California from the Chicago lockbox?

- And if goes to Vermont, how long is it taking for I-130 for parents to get processed?

Thanks for your help,

strkell

Dont worry where the application will go. Make sure you have all the required documents, start collecting the documents.
The general processing time fram for I130 is around 6mts but it usually gets approved in 3-4mts , there were some cases where it got approved in 2-3 mts. The application will be forwarded to the service center which does not have too much application load at that time.
