Hi Kseniya! Thanks for your guidance. I have checked and watched all videos related to my case. My husband and I were confident doing the forms & submissions by ourselves. We were initially considering of hiring an immigration lawyer, but changed our mind when we listened to all relevant vids from you. Last week, we got already the I-130 approval notice without interview. It’s 13mos of waiting! We’re now waiting for my green card approval 🙏 Thanks again!
@@jbferrer3, my case was 1 yr and 27 days to be exact. About 13 months. We did not hire a lawyer. We ensured we correctly filled-in the form and submitted strong supported documents. NO interview was done. I just had biometrics and then to our surprise we got the approval 13months from date of submission. We know of friends who were subjected to interview/s and waited for more than 2yrs though.
@@herlanej, hi I sent one pack with all the docs including the Advanced Parole and the vaccines. I properly label and segregated all docs. There is a video by Kseniya on how to properly prepare the packets with all docs which I also followed. Hope this helps.
Firstly let me thank you for all the advice .USCIS had sent me an RFE in may for my medical . Which I sent in immediately . Now they have Scheduled me and my spouse for an interview . Wish me luck. 😢
I love your video they are amazing, but really hope you can up your volume in future videos, it's about 1/3 of normal videos. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
What helpful video! Thanks 🙏 i have a question regarding the adjustment of status. Im pending of asylum and also have TPS, should i fill the adjustment status form?
Regardless of which one you are doing/answering, so lets say going through consular processing, should you leave the other section for adjustment of status in US blank or fill in n/a for not applicable?
Thank you so much for making the time and effort to share your knowledge. Although, I know my way around uscis, Your videos have been the most helpful. We are in process of filing.
Thank you so much for all the detailed guidance you provided that helped me get my green card!!! I DIYed the concurrent filing of my i-130 and i-485 package along with i-765 and i-131 watching all your related videos and I got them all approved!
Which forms did you fill out in total to completely change your spouses status’ to green card? I know you start with I-130 and 130A. Then once that is approved, we can move on to filing I-485. Any other forms?
Hey Kseniya! Might be an obvious answer haha but, My wife and I are filing our I-130 now, She is planning on being in the United States for most of next year, as well as the foreseeable future, so we should choose Oklahoma as the location that she will continue the adjustment of status, correct? :)
Hello, I am so grateful for your videos ♥♥ thank you!!!!! If we choose the city in the USA to continue the process there, should we put NA on the other consular information or just blank?
made a mistake of answering NA 5 years ago. I130 was approved but had to file I824 and $400+ per child plus 5 months more added time before forwarded to NVC.
Hello, I was just wondering how come you don’t do a K1 from video ? I did I-130 and I’m trying to now do the K1 now to hurry up the process. You seem to have a a wonderful video for all forms except for this one. I love your videos and I appreciate all the work you put into making them.
Thanks for always being there for us…. Please i have a worry i need your advice…. I am legally married and my parents filled an i-130 for me as single, what can i do, my wife and i just worn the DV 2025 and stand a chance of loosing our chance because if the misinformation..😭😭😭
Hi, first of all thank you for your Support! I would like to know: As a beneficiary, how can I be in the US to adjust my status from the US? What kind of Visa allows me to apply from the US since any other visa might deceive the intentions of my stay? To shorten my question: what do I need to apply for to get to the US to apply for a I-130 from the US as a beneficiary?
Thank you so much fir this video My question is can I send them I-130 along the RFE at the same time or do I have to wait for them( uscis) to request it ? Any information would be appreciated
Ksenia which country would you recommend to put in this section, if I’m applying for my mom and she is currently lives in Russia. Should I put Russia or maybe Kazakhstan (which is most likely to have her interview)?
Can you update Petitioners address once you get the notice of action? for example in F2A category, the child of a LPR parent enters USA on a student visa after the I-130 gets approved?
So after watching this video thoroughly (and your other videos), I ended up making the mistake that you cannot be making. Because of the bug on the form (and it’s impossible to use it in adobe on Mac), I had to switch back and forth between two computers, and ended up forgetting to input answer in 61 (and left 62 blank). Can you please advise the best way to correct that? I filed I-130, I-485 & I-864 together. Thank you
Hello there, I have made the payment for the Affidavit of Support and IV fees on behalf of my mother. However, I have discovered that according to her NVC case status, the interview location is listed as Cairo, Egypt. This is quite surprising because we actually filed her change of status form, i-485, on August 1, 2022, while she has been residing with me in Texas, USA. The most recent step in the I-485 process was her biometrics appointment, which took place in Texas in August 2022. I filled the I-485 in parallel with the I-130. In the I-130 form, I filled the residence location of my mother in Egypt, but in the I-485 form, the residence location is in Texas, US, as I filled the I-485 while she was staying with me in USz, and that's why we made the adjustment of status for her. Now that the payment for the Affidavit of Support and IV fees has been made, I would like to know how to adjust the interview location to a Texas location. Thank you, and I appreciate your assistance in this matter.
I am helping my daughter in law apply for her marriage green card but she does not want to apply for US citizen at this time. She is currently in Thailand. My son is there on an educational visa and they have lived together for last two years in Thailand. He plans on becoming a dual citizen with Thailand and US. At this time she is not applying for adjustment of status. She has never been to US but she wants to come here and stay for a couple of years and then move back. So in this case, what do I answer on these questions?
Hi Kseniya. Im in the US while my parents are in my homecountry. So, even if i get the petition for my parents approved , they still will have to go to the embassy of the us in my home country in order to get a visa to enter the US?
Hi Kseniya Thank you for all the information that you provide it's very valuable. I would like to ask you if it's possible to let us know the process to to apply for a family petition for a DACA holder son.
It’s still kinda confusing for me a little bit when you say “ answer this question and nothing else if you’re inside the US “ you mean I’ll have to answer the mentioned question and leave the entire form empty?! Thanks 🙏
Thank you so much for the informative video. I just filled up an I-130 form for my Dad online. For the section " at which USCIS office will the beneficiary apply for adjustment of status...", I first wanted to type N/A on that section. I realized that it is not possible so I chose unknown location and left the state section blank. Then I moved to the next question (At which U.S. Embassy or Consulate location will the beneficiary apply....) and gave complete info of the U.S. Embassy my Dad will go for the interview. I already submitted the form. Do you think it will cause a problem? should I fill up a new form? I appreciate your input.
Thank you very much for all your help I really appreciate you I have questions.my wife she lives out side of USA to apply I use only I-130 from? Thank you so much
The whole I-130 has me confused. We're not trying or attempting to bring a relative to the USA only getting Green Card for K1 bride to be. do we still fill out the I-130?
Will we have a problem if we mistakenly put the advisory on marriage in Prior Marriage of the Spouse Beneficiary instead putting it on the Affidavit of bonafide section?
Hi Kseniya! Your videos are really helpful, thank you. I wanted to ask you, how should I fill this two questions if right now my wife is not thinking to apply for adjustment of status but we don’t want to discard that option in the future. I am a resident not a citizen.

Hello Kseniya, Thank you for your content, does the section about the Official Statement, it says if a required evidence is unavailable which is NOT my case, since we do have it) to provide it, however at the bottom it says that if I dont provide, it could be delayed, my understanding of this is to skip it since I do have the evidence?

Can you give examples of how an alien might already be in the United States when petition I-130 hasn't been filed for them yet? I understand the K-3 nonimmigrant visa can help a spouse wait inside the US while the petition is still being processed, but it's unknown whether a K-3 visa will be approved before the petition is. If the K-3 visa is approved and the spouse comes to the US before the I-130 is approved, would that mean the I-130 should say they're applying for an adjustment of status in the US? But how could we possibly know that at the time we file the I-130?

Hello, I am petitioning for my wife, however on I-130A (parent’s information part) she doesn’t know any informations on his dad, should we just leave it blank?

thank you for this Video but how do i file i 130 for my child and her children which are my grand kids
Hi Kseniya Thank you for all the information that you provide it's very valuable. I would like to ask you if it's possible to let us know the process to to apply for a family petition for a DACA holder son.
It’s still kinda confusing for me a little bit when you say “ answer this question and nothing else if you’re inside the US “ you mean I’ll have to answer the mentioned question and leave the entire form empty?! Thanks 🙏
Should i required to add medical record and police character certificate…???plz tell me
Hi Kseniya, should I leave blank or none in every form? For example I have no middle, should I leave it blank or none?
Thank you so much for the informative video. I just filled up an I-130 form for my Dad online. For the section " at which USCIS office will the beneficiary apply for adjustment of status...", I first wanted to type N/A on that section. I realized that it is not possible so I chose unknown location and left the state section blank. Then I moved to the next question (At which U.S. Embassy or Consulate location will the beneficiary apply....) and gave complete info of the U.S. Embassy my Dad will go for the interview. I already submitted the form. Do you think it will cause a problem? should I fill up a new form? I appreciate your input.
Thank you very much for all your help I really appreciate you I have questions.my wife she lives out side of USA to apply I use only I-130 from? Thank you so much
@@abushtenii4783 yes only I-130 and I-130A for now
The whole I-130 has me confused. We're not trying or attempting to bring a relative to the USA only getting Green Card for K1 bride to be. do we still fill out the I-130?
Will we have a problem if we mistakenly put the advisory on marriage in Prior Marriage of the Spouse Beneficiary instead putting it on the Affidavit of bonafide section?
My sister is in usa on tourist visa i am a us citizen can he apply for workpermit as well?
Hi Kseniya! Your videos are really helpful, thank you.
I wanted to ask you, how should I fill this two questions if right now my wife is not thinking to apply for adjustment of status but we don’t want to discard that option in the future. I am a resident not a citizen.
Thanks Kseniya , Please How Can Some one cancel a Request to be a Supporter if he decides to deny a file ? .
Hi. If we forgot that part to continue the process overseas, if we left it blank - is there anything we can do or tell them so we don't have to transfer or pay that unnecessary extra fee?

I did not understand this question. Should I write the date on the green card? Or should I write the date I first stepped into America and the airport address?

Hello Kseniya, Thank you for your content, does the section about the Official Statement, it says if a required evidence is unavailable which is NOT my case, since we do have it) to provide it, however at the bottom it says that if I dont provide, it could be delayed, my understanding of this is to skip it since I do have the evidence?
It’s optional
Thank you for your information! I’m filing online for my mom who’s overseas and under Evidence it’s asking me for an “Official Statement” do I have to submit any of those documents also?

Hello!
Just out of curiosity is it better to fill the I-130 out online or print it out and send it in the mail? I have been unsure as to which way is the best option.

Same here, which route you found is best ?

I live in the US and I have daca, this is still confusing, I’m staying here but I know I will have to go to Juarez for my visa appointment. I already submitted my application and I put chicago on the app. I don’t know if that’s right or not. It’s not approved yet
Kseniya, thank you for the useful information👌
Can you give examples of how an alien might already be in the United States when petition I-130 hasn't been filed for them yet? I understand the K-3 nonimmigrant visa can help a spouse wait inside the US while the petition is still being processed, but it's unknown whether a K-3 visa will be approved before the petition is. If the K-3 visa is approved and the spouse comes to the US before the I-130 is approved, would that mean the I-130 should say they're applying for an adjustment of status in the US? But how could we possibly know that at the time we file the I-130?
Many people come to the U.S. on a different type of visa (student, visitor, work, etc) and end up marrying someone and staying here to adjust status.
Hi, if we are sending concurrently to chicago IL, should we still put the Field office in Sacramento or it should be Chicago since we are sending to Chicago? I-130 question page 8 you mentioned.
Not the lockbox facility but the field office location or city where you live.
I filled out I 130A online, but it won't allow signature.
@@markdismang8550 you have to print it out. And scan it to file it.

I had the same problem while filling out the I-130 I did not know what should I write on questions 62 a,b, and c because my wife is in Afghanistan and currently there is not any active US embassy. So, I had to fill out the I-824. now it has been 32 days have not gotten any updates because of the situation and not being an active US embassy in Afghanistan, Is there is any way to ask the USCIS to expedite my case. the I-130 got approved for my wife in 2 weeks.
Hello, I am petitioning for my wife, however on I-130A (parent’s information part) she doesn’t know any informations on his dad, should we just leave it blank?
