Hi I applied for my mom and married sister family in August 2010. The NAC is dated 19th August. I just started this thread to help me keep a record of my timelines. The CP is at Chennai. It is still in intial review state and I read in other threads that it takes up to 6 months for my mom's I 130 approval so, for now i am just waiting. If there is anyone who is kind of in the same situation join me. It helps to know if there is any august filers out there and if you have any kind of input it is greatly appreciated!!!
 
Hi

I am also in the same boat. I will be filing for my dad end of OCT 2010, for CP in chennai. I have all the document s ready, just waiting for his birth certificate to get to me in the mail. I heard it should take 6-8mts from start to finish.
I an sending I-130.My citizenship proof, My birth certificate, My dads Birth certificate,and his marriage certificate. Is that enough? or am I missing some thing. I live in MA. I would like to be in touch with you as we will be in close by time frame. Is it ok?
 
I think the main one is birth certificate now that they have made it all computerized it is actually pretty easy to obtain one. And other than that I think u should be ok until they let us know what our next step is. We live in Seattle area and so the processing is thru CSC.
 
Oh did you attach your naturalization certificate and copy of your passport pasges that helps too!
 
Since it looked like a start up thread, I thought I could get some hellp for a starter like me. I aa planning to sponsor green card for my parents who live in India. My dad will be retiring on June 30 2012.Should I start the GC process now or do you think I should start in 2011? Is there any time frame from the date green card is issued that requires the candiates to be here in US ? Please advice.

Once your dad has his interview at the US embassy in India, he will have 6 months to move to the US.

Is there any time frame from the date green card is issued that requires the candiates to be here in US ? Please advice.
 
I think the whole process for our parents are anywhere from 6-8 months so if he is not ready to travel next year i would say to wait closer to his retirement.
 
On Nov 2nd I recd a letter saying that my case is moved to Texas Center so I am still waiting on my approval letter. Hopefully I will get it soon. Is there anyone whose processing center is Texas, can u share ur time line and experience. Thanks in advance.



Mailed I 130 to Chicago lock box on 8/17/10
Recd approval on 9/27/10
11/2/10 case transferred to Texas
