Any last minute advices ? :)

I guess you have all. Goodluck!
You do have everything that they need. Just stay calm and you will be OK
 
Updating timeline on my signature. Mom's I-130 and I-485 were approved and the card production has been ordered. ETA is 30 days according to the notice.

Thanks everyone for the help during the application process.

I think it looks good to me.
 
All,

Looks like my mothers I-130 got approved yesterday but have got an RFE for the I-485. I am pretty sure it has to do wih my mothers birth certificate. I had sent a BC from the Indian Consulate at SFO as well as affadvits from my mothers two elder sisters-looks like this might not have been adequate

Did you send the certificate of non-availability of BC. Typically that or an incorrect BC should be sent along with the affidavits.
 
Hello Tigerclaws

I requested an NABC from the Indian Consulate at SFO. Instead they gave me a BC for my mother based on her passport. I sent this along with affadivits. Looks like I will need to go back to the Indian consulate at SFO asking for a NABC

I don't think the consulate provides NABC. you may try but at the same-time you could try getting it from the place where your mother was born.
 
Thanks Second Stage

I will try with NABC from SFO First. The problem that I have is that my mother was born in Sind Pakistan-before India partition

We are from Mumbai. Has any one else been able to get NABC from Mumbai and can anyone point me to where I can start

Has anyone used the service mymaninindia? Is it reliable

Thanks

This is never ending struggle. We had my mom's interview today but the IC officer said she can't approve it because there is no official document which list my mother by name. My BC does not have my mothers name, her BC does not have her name. We were told that affidavit are not enough to prove mother/child relationship.

Only thing left to do is DNA testing. It costs $550 and can take upto 4 weeks.

Has anyone done DNA testing?

Thanks.
 
when to expect GC ??

Last LUD on my I485 is on Aug25 - Card Production Ordered. Now,Should i expect one more LUD like Approval Notice Sent before i receive my greencard.
Its being 1 week since i got last LUD and still no card in hand.

Punjabiguru!!

Am sorry but I think you ran into a difficult IO.

Did you submit NABC or not?
If you did, then you could argue or set-up another appointment to review your case that you followed USCIS guidelines in providing appropriate documents.(USCIS says NABC + 2 affidavits when you don't have original certificates)

Your passport should have her name. correct?

I did not have original BC nor my parents but their interview was a breeze.

Perhaps, sending in your mother's BC without her name threw a red flag.

Just search thro' the forum on DNA testing.

Hello everyone,
So we had interview today at 11 am in Milwaukee. We came around 10:40 am and were called in after 30 min. The immigration officer checked our id's, then confirmed some stuff from application, like when is my b-day, where is the place of birth, yes and no questions etc... Then he asked how me met, asked my husband when did he become citizen and we answered. He asked if we had some joint document, took everything i had, he didn't look at them during the interview.
That was it! :confused:
He said i will review your case and let you know.
We were out in 10 min.
He didn't take my ead, i-94 ...
We can just hope for the best :rolleyes:

I hope everything works out for the best for you! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you get approved. :)
 
All. I just got the approval notice for the I-130 and the RFE for the I485. The RFE was for a Good Conduct Certificate since both of my mothers FP were rejected. I went to the Police Precint in Phoenix and got that letter just now and will mail it tomorrow morning
