Thanks for your help. Watched your videos. Filed 130 and 485 concurrently. Received permanent grn card (for 10 years) in about 8 months since date of filing, no interview. (been married more than 3 years to us citizen)
Thank you @Kseniya!!!!! Your videos have been priceless and saved us THOUSANDS of dollars. We got both the I-130 and I-485 approved this past week. It took about 5 months. Can not thank you enough! 🙏
@QueenAelivia honestly, just follow the videos exactly as she says. If you have a friend who is native, have them review. It's not as overly complex as it seems. My wife just came back from a visit with her family last month.
Thank you so much for this info I’ve been looking for this forever lots of videos on TH-cam but yours it’s the only one that explains if sent forms together or not
I just want to comment here and let you know what an amazing resource your channel was in helping my wife and I file our paperwork last year. From the time we sent it in, we had one minor request for more information, I forget exactly what it was, but we sent it in and were shortly approved thereafter, with no interview. Whole thing took less than 6 months if I remember correct. Anyways, thank you! ps: I wanted to hire some visa coach guy for $2,200+ to do the paperwork for us, but my wife assured me we could get it done ourselves and I'm glad I trusted her!
Kseniya just wanted to thank you for being such a help in my process. We completed our whole process in a year and I can honestly say it was all thanks to you . They only requested the medical exam as evidence and after 8 months we got our interview scheduled and our applications got approved . Thank you 🙏🏾
Hi Kseniya I have a question! Can you do concurrent filling if every requirement is fulfilled ( entered legally, married to U.S citizen, no criminal records and no health issues ) if I overstayed?
Thanks a lot for making these videos! I have been watching and following your videos. I was hoping if you can answer some of my questions - Under employment-based category, my husband got his green card in 2022 but then immediately the dates got retrogressed and my daughter and I (the dependents, derivative applicants) are still pending. Means, the primary got approved and got green card but his wife and daughter are still pending. We both have EAD and AP and are currently in United States. Because my husband got green card, he filed I-130 for both of us in early 2023 and that is still pending. Almost two years and not approved yet. My daughter is 18 and not sure when the I-130 will be approved and the date is also not current under F2A. Can we file the I-485 while I-130 is still pending? Thanks a lot for providing any guidance in advance!
Hello Kseniya! Thank you for your detailed videos and we love it! I got a quick question. Do you suggest submit I-130 and I-485 together in the package or submit I-130 online and I-485 in the package? thanks! have a good day!
Hi Kseniya.. thank you for the videos. Can I ask if in filling out beneficiary spouse’s name, if the wife hasnt changed her Surname on her Marriage Cert, Passport, licenses and other IDs yet, can we start using the Husband’s surname all througout the filling of forms I-130, 130A and I-485? Thank u so much, responses is greatly appreciated.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Very helpfull videos!!! But I still have a couple of questions. Should I apply for travel document and work authorization if I am filling for my parent green card? We do not have an urgent need for my parent to work or travel. Also, if I will file I-130 online, do I fille I-864 with I-485 and I-693 results by mail in one package?
Hello please help to answer my short questions. Im filling for my spouse and step daughter adjustment of status. They are both in the US now and we got married in the US. What form must my spouse file? And my stepdaughter file? My step daughter is 9 yrs. My spouse want to be able to travel while waiting and work. When can she obtain a SSN, so she can get a drivers license? Thank you for your help
Hi, my son is turning 21 next August. I entered the USA with tourist visa and stayed, have not gotten out of the country since then (20 years ago). Does my son need to file I-30 or I-485 in this case?
Kseniya, I filed form I-130 on line about 18 months ago and it hasn’t been approved. I did receive a request for additional documents and already submitted it. I also mailed a packet to USCIS with forms 485, 765, 864 and 693 in May 2023. The check for 1,140 was cashed by DHS on July 24,2023. I didn’t receive any receipt for these documents and have not heard anything from USCIS about receiving them. I’m absolutely freaking out now. Could these been lost? What should I do? Is form 130 online connected to the rest of the forms? Thank you
For the first option of concurrent filing , you mentioned both I 130 and I 485 can be sent together as one package via mail. In that case, who is mailing the package ( sender’s address) . Will that be the sponsor or the beneficiary ?
Hi Thank you for all the info,for my parents I have filed concurrent forms without i131 due to fees, but they are on b2 visa and I am not sure will they have any issues staying for more than 6 months in USA, if approval takes more than 6 month or a year. As I understand those on tourist visa need to leave the country before 6 months.
just want to ask do i need to pay Immigrant Fee or Green Card for IR2 ( under 18 ) if i am a US Citizen and my Daughter will be automatically be come a US Citizen when she arrives in the US? Hope you Can help me and more power to your channel
Hello Kseniya ! First, I would like to thank you for your resources! Also, I have a question: what would you recommend, filling the I-130 online and the I485 via mail? or filling both via mail together ? thanks in advance !
I petitioned my son in the F2A category and during his interview in the US embassy in the Philippines he' was over 21 (aged out) and not eligible for a visa so it was converted to F2B category. I became a US citizen last year and notified the US embassy in the Philippines to convert to F1 category. Priority date is 2014. What is the next step? Do I being the petitioner still have to file I-485 while waiting until his priority date becomes current? Thanks.
I am a US Citizen and my spouse and step children live outside of the US. All I-130s were approved and we are waiting for the approval of the I-864s. Each of them has an approved I-130 and I-797 Notice of Action. Since they are residing outside of the US, am I able to still able to complete and submit the I-485 for all of them or do I need to wait until the visas are approved and they are physically in the US? Thank you!
Hi Kseniya! I was wondering if it's safe to file for AOS (I-130, I-485, I-765) 3 weeks before the last date of admission recorded on I-94 for B1/B2 visa? Do you advise mailing the documents earlier than that? Would there be any benefit to that rather than having to wait few weeks before last date of admission? Thanks!
Hey Kseniya i just want to ask you, my daughter was born in back home after our case was close (diversity visa) so they just told us to fill i130 and i485 also i131 (travel documents) to solve her problem because its been 1 year in US with i551 visa packet.. just wanna know long it going to take to get her green card issued? Notice that she already has an alien number and social
hello, thank you so much for what you do. I could not find it better anywhere after making some research. I maybe wrong, but I would like to add something you're omitting, the part of spouse who file I129F, as per the USCIS, you're not required to file the form I130. just the approval notice of the form I129F is require if you file the form I485. is there anyway you can double that part again? thank you.
hello pls help me. what form should i apply for my parents who are now here in the us but as tourist visa but i want them to get green card. thank you for answer
Hi @Kseniya thank you for your videos, its so helpful. I have some questions, please help me. I submitted the I-130, I-131, I-845, I -765, USCIS sent the I-131, saying the payment amount is incorrect or not has been provided. As it say on the USCCIS when you are filling with the I845 its $0. they asking me to refile and send it with the correct amount. I don't see any payment on the website. also, I'm wondering why they did not send back all the package.
I filed I 130 and didn't get the receipt notice letter online and via mail. can I send I864 & I485 without the receipt notice letter? what will I do? I have everything ready with the medical exam.
My husband is filing for me while i am in my home country. We’re doing I130 (consular processing) on our own. Does this mean we will eventually have to also file an I485 once I get a visa and enter the US? Or will my green card be processed as part of that consular processing.
Hello and thank you for your time and valuable information. My partner came to the US on a K1 Visa. We got married two weeks later and we recently mailed our application for form I 485. My question is, do I need to still file form I I30 if he's here already and we are married? The previous forms we completed prior to his US arrival was from 765 and form I 129 . Appreciate your help and time. Thank yoU!
@pinxmmm1 Any luck? I also filed the i130 for my wife. We got married once she arrived in the USA after her K1 Visa was approved. Not sure what to do now.
My wife is going to petition her parents by filing the I-130 form online. We are about to have our oathtaking for citizenship and once we get the certificate we will send the application right away. The only problem is that her parents only have 4days until their stay in the US to be expired based on the I-94 date. My question is do we need to file an extension of stay using I-539 OR can we file for the I-485 (change of status) already? Once I-485 is submitted, does that mean that they can stay in the US indefinitely or does that take effect once the application was received/ approved?
Hello, love the channel. I have a few questions. As part of the I 765 and I 131 applications they require proof of 129F … That the I 797 approval receipt from USCIS regarding the 129F ? Second, we are about to file our I-765 /I -131/I-485 as part of a K-1 visa. do you recommend filing the 130 online together as a packet or online? As part of a package, can you tell me what information other than the form itself is required?
Ok so the I-797 is the I-129F approval we needed, great. In your video you mention not needing a new medical exam if the one you received on your K-1 visa is less than one years old and you married within the first 90 days. My question is when we look at the required documents for the I 485 it asks for a DS-3025. But that is only a vaccine report. Do we need anything additional for a medical exam ? The only other thing we received was a video from the hospital, performing the medical exam in Manila.
your videos are really very informative. thank you so much for providing that information. I got approval for form I 130 for my parents who live in india. For the next process, I have filled ds 260 and I 864 form . Do I also need to fill form I 485? If I need it then when do I need to fill that out after the approval of ds 260 or with those forms. Appreciate your response.
Hi Kseniya. I have a quick question. Is it okay to resubmit my AOS package without receiving my previous package back? I know usually people get it back within 1-2 weeks. I know my package must have been rejected, because my bank blocked my payment. However it's already been a month, and I never received neither a rejection notice nor my package back... I am unable to reach anyone at USCIS, haven't gotten a response from the lockbox support either...
Hey how are you? I hope youre doing good i just wanted to ask you that my wife is permanent resident not citizen yet, and she is gonna petition for me should we apply i-130 and i-485 together?
I got here(U.S.) in 2017 with a b2 visa, i got out of status in 2020, after getting my status extended couple of times. I got married to a U.S. citizen, now we're filling for my I-130, my question is , do i need to file I-601 or just the I-485? Since i came here legally.IF you can answer that i understand.Thank you.
Thank you very much for all the help! One question is that I remember you mentioned in one of your videos that if you are filling the i485 with the i131 and the i765 you wouldn’t need to pay the fee for the last two, but I looked at the uscis website and it says there is a fee if you ate filling after april 2024. Is that an update or am I just reading it wrong?
Hello - I would like to ask if my 18 y/o daughter natural born us citizen wish to file a petition for me and to my husband while she in airforce academy training., Is it possible?
A friend of mine, which is US Citizen, his mother has a tourist visa(B1/B2) and she is going to enter USA in november 2024. How long does he need to wait before submitting the adjustment of status for his mother once she is the USA? Thanks
@@mayarimavelmendozamendez9321 I’m confused now !! Because the mother is coming to USA November 2024 so she can do adjustment of status , but if she is outside of USA she will do consular processing. Right
Kseniya I filed form 1-130 online to petition my mother and I already received my case no thru email but then there’s a question that I made a wrong answer about the information about the beneficiary which is my Mother..Is there a fastest way to correct it?The application was received October 11 2024
Hi, I work as legal assistant for an immigration attorney. The answer to your question is that it depends on what question is wrong, sometimes is not that important for immigration.
Hi K! I'm using a I-130 fillable pdf (the new one that expires 2/28/2027), and many of the fields only allow numeric characters. So I can't use 'N/A' - instead I hafta use 'NONE' b/c the slash isn't numeric. (eye roll) That's no big deal UNTIL I come to question #46.b that asks for the I94 record that is all numeric EXCEPT for the next-to-last character which is alpha! (The letter 'A') Is there a workaround? What do you advise? Should I print and fill in that alpha character by hand? TY! Michael
@KseniyaInternational . So in this case, how do we submit it online? Scanning it? Secondly, for a newly wedded couple who plans to submit their I-130 form, few days after marriage, can they submit their i485 form after 4 to months so they can have sufficient time to build common things together as evidence. OR they can still go ahead to submit concurrently. And how long should they do that after marriage considering they have to build common things together as evidence. Thanks for all you do. I await your urgent feedback on this.
Hello, I am a Permanent Resident th. My Oldest Daughter petition, i have a younger daughter of age 13 undocumented in USA, what are the options for her to obtain legal status?
Kseniya I have a question? So when the US citizen petitioner and his spouse will have the adjustment status and my sis in law has 2 children do they need to file separate I -485 for the children or will it be included in her adjustment status since they are still underage. I just need this clarification. Thank you
@@KseniyaInternational so even they are only 14 years old the petitioner US citizen has to file separate petition for the two children. Isn’t the derivitive of the main petition from the spouse correct.
Hello kseniya hope all is well with you and everyone here please i need some response on this question or from anyone. WHEN you are applying for i-130 form filling online at the USCIS website after filling in the form and you want to submit online with all the evidence do you just submit it without signing it or ( does online applications have to be first downloaded sign it and upload it again online and send it ) please i need help
I'm preparing to file a I-130 for my husband as well as form i-485. Will he be able to work while we wait for the forms to be processed? If so what forms should be completed and are there any other forms thats we should be filing. He is in the united states currently and im a US citizen if that helps with my questions. Thank you :)
You’re the best ! I have a question, can my husband (the petitioner) translate my birth certificate, and my divorce ? Or you recommend to pay someone professional to do it and if you have some recommendations like a good page to do it ? My husband can speak Spanish (my first language) and English (He is a US citizen)
There are online translation services that aren’t super expensive and are pretty fast (within 24 hours): Immitranslate, Rushtranslate, and RapidTranslate. Although USCIS doesn’t have a rule against people translating their own documents but in my opinion it’s best to use a third party service or person.
You really excel at explaining things, congratulations! I couldn't find information here about applying for children of green card holders who will turn 21 before the I-130 is approved and need to expedite. Where can I find out which standard to send it to? Thank you very much, and I wish you continued success!
Can I file for this while my asylum request is still pending? Still waiting for an interview but now married to us citizen. We want to be able to travel outside of US.
@@KseniyaInternational I know like N400 applications usually process very fast .. sometimes only few months .. so hopefully you will receive interview date soon ! Good luck 👍
Hi, I'm a US citizen filing concurrently the I-485 and I-130 for my Mother and Father. Can I put both their applications (I-485 & I-130) in one single mailing envelope.

I applied I 130 for my mom, been waiting for 6 months now, Im so confuse if i have to apply her I 485 since i haven't recieve an approval yet.
@pinxmmm1 Any luck? I also filed the i130 for my wife. We got married once she arrived in the USA after her K1 Visa was approved. Not sure what to do now.
My wife is going to petition her parents by filing the I-130 form online. We are about to have our oathtaking for citizenship and once we get the certificate we will send the application right away. The only problem is that her parents only have 4days until their stay in the US to be expired based on the I-94 date. My question is do we need to file an extension of stay using I-539 OR can we file for the I-485 (change of status) already? Once I-485 is submitted, does that mean that they can stay in the US indefinitely or does that take effect once the application was received/ approved?
Did you get answer of your question?
Hello, love the channel. I have a few questions. As part of the I 765 and I 131 applications they require proof of 129F … That the I 797 approval receipt from USCIS regarding the 129F ? Second, we are about to file our I-765 /I -131/I-485 as part of a K-1 visa. do you recommend filing the 130 online together as a packet or online? As part of a package, can you tell me what information other than the form itself is required?
Hi, this video talks about the list of forms th-cam.com/video/LsgDaPC73A8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ccuaPdA8ODm3vqXg
Ok so the I-797 is the I-129F approval we needed, great. In your video you mention not needing a new medical exam if the one you received on your K-1 visa is less than one years old and you married within the first 90 days. My question is when we look at the required documents for the I 485 it asks for a DS-3025. But that is only a vaccine report. Do we need anything additional for a medical exam ? The only other thing we received was a video from the hospital, performing the medical exam in Manila.
@@kissire01 as far as I’m aware DS3025 is what you need to send them
@@KseniyaInternational i recently filed my marriage base case concurrently for my wife and stepson on one I-130 and I485, would that be a problem?
your videos are really very informative. thank you so much for providing that information. I got approval for form I 130 for my parents who live in india. For the next process, I have filled ds 260 and I 864 form . Do I also need to fill form I 485? If I need it then when do I need to fill that out after the approval of ds 260 or with those forms. Appreciate your response.
If i m in the US can my US citizen brother fill out I130 and I485 for me
Hi Kseniya. I have a quick question. Is it okay to resubmit my AOS package without receiving my previous package back? I know usually people get it back within 1-2 weeks. I know my package must have been rejected, because my bank blocked my payment. However it's already been a month, and I never received neither a rejection notice nor my package back... I am unable to reach anyone at USCIS, haven't gotten a response from the lockbox support either...
You technically can
Hey how are you? I hope youre doing good i just wanted to ask you that my wife is permanent resident not citizen yet, and she is gonna petition for me should we apply i-130 and i-485 together?
I got here(U.S.) in 2017 with a b2 visa, i got out of status in 2020, after getting my status extended couple of times. I got married to a U.S. citizen, now we're filling for my I-130, my question is , do i need to file I-601 or just the I-485? Since i came here legally.IF you can answer that i understand.Thank you.
Thank you very much for all the help! One question is that I remember you mentioned in one of your videos that if you are filling the i485 with the i131 and the i765 you wouldn’t need to pay the fee for the last two, but I looked at the uscis website and it says there is a fee if you ate filling after april 2024. Is that an update or am I just reading it wrong?
Yes the fees changed after April 1

Kseniya I filed form 1-130 online to petition my mother and I already received my case no thru email but then there’s a question that I made a wrong answer about the information about the beneficiary which is my Mother..Is there a fastest way to correct it?The application was received October 11 2024
Hi, I work as legal assistant for an immigration attorney. The answer to your question is that it depends on what question is wrong, sometimes is not that important for immigration.
Hi K! I'm using a I-130 fillable pdf (the new one that expires 2/28/2027), and many of the fields only allow numeric characters. So I can't use 'N/A' - instead I hafta use 'NONE' b/c the slash isn't numeric. (eye roll) That's no big deal UNTIL I come to question #46.b that asks for the I94 record that is all numeric EXCEPT for the next-to-last character which is alpha! (The letter 'A') Is there a workaround? What do you advise? Should I print and fill in that alpha character by hand? TY! Michael
You can fill it with black pen afterwards
@KseniyaInternational . So in this case, how do we submit it online? Scanning it?
Secondly, for a newly wedded couple who plans to submit their I-130 form, few days after marriage, can they submit their i485 form after 4 to months so they can have sufficient time to build common things together as evidence. OR they can still go ahead to submit concurrently. And how long should they do that after marriage considering they have to build common things together as evidence. Thanks for all you do. I await your urgent feedback on this.

I-765 is employment authorization that allows to work while waiting for green card
Can parents apply for I485 if they enter in the US on a multiple entry tourist visa
Hi. Yes, they can.
Please can you help me about my l-130 on what’s up 🙏
You’re the best ! I have a question, can my husband (the petitioner) translate my birth certificate, and my divorce ? Or you recommend to pay someone professional to do it and if you have some recommendations like a good page to do it ? My husband can speak Spanish (my first language) and English (He is a US citizen)
There are online translation services that aren’t super expensive and are pretty fast (within 24 hours): Immitranslate, Rushtranslate, and RapidTranslate. Although USCIS doesn’t have a rule against people translating their own documents but in my opinion it’s best to use a third party service or person.
@@KseniyaInternational thank you so much !!!
You really excel at explaining things, congratulations! I couldn't find information here about applying for children of green card holders who will turn 21 before the I-130 is approved and need to expedite. Where can I find out which standard to send it to? Thank you very much, and I wish you continued success!

I believe it all depends if you’re in immigration court or not. I would consult with someone first before moving any further

Thanks for the information. We are not in immigration court. According to the article we could apply while the asylum case is pending.
Does it need to wait for 90 days after entering United States for submitting I-130 form? Thank you so much for your informative VDOs ❤
You may get married after 60 days and then submit your papers.
Hi I had filed i130 online and my husband is a PR should I wait until I get my i130 approved to file rest of the documents (i485) as wife of PR ?
You can submit I-485 and I-131 (this is called concurrent filing).
Thanks but apparently it’s only for US citizens and not for PR spouses?

Hi Thank you for all the info,for my parents I have filed concurrent forms without i131 due to fees, but they are on b2 visa and I am not sure will they have any issues staying for more than 6 months in USA, if approval takes more than 6 month or a year. As I understand those on tourist visa need to leave the country before 6 months.
Is that also for the green card holder or just for the us citizens?
I130 & i485 filing for parents, do i have to file separate for both the parents or just one file?
Separate
