Hello. First of all, I would like to thank you for the video. It’s very helpful. May I have a question regarding to filing concurrently? My spouse is green card holder, I’m about to file I-130 in Feb/2022, visa bulletin is showing C for F2A category. Am I eligible for concurrent filing?
Hello! According to uscis, “You may file your petition and application concurrently when there is a visa number immediately available at the time of filing.” So, by this logic since F2A is current, you can technically apply concurrently. However, you first must make sure you are eligible to adjust status, meaning you entered USA legally and you are maintaining lawful status and you have not violated immigration terms, such as working without authorization.
Hello Kseniya. I just want to thank you and let you know that I appreciate you. You are heaven sent. I followed the instructions on your video. My green card got approved today after almost 3 months. Thank you again. God bless you
Thank you so much for sharing all the information you provided. The forms have a lot of information to make mistakes but you take time to explain everything to make it easier for us to complete thank you. I am so happy I found your channel. 🙏🏼❤️
Hi Kseniya. LPRs can also file concurrently (for their spouses) not just US citizens. The reason US Citizens can file concurrently no matter what is because visas for their categories are not capped. But those categories which are CURRENT in visa bulletin, can also file. That means visa is available, so i485 can be submitted. Category of LPR filing for Spouse is currently CURRENT so they can file concurrently as well. In other words, it is not that being citizen is driving the ability of concurrent filing, but availability of visa number.
Dude, you are a life saver. That's exactly what I was wondering about. Could you please please, help me with one more question to it: say beneficiary of LPR is filing i485 concurrently, having only B2 visa. Is B2 status a bad thing, so he could be denied? Cause I ve heard that beneficiaries of LPR must maintain the lawful status while i485 and i130 are pending, and thus B2 visa could be not enough. Is it necessary to hustle for study visa for beneficiary at first? I don't know what is true. Confused with this. People say controversial things. Appreciate your help
@@stanislavdidenko8436 I assume Yes, but because this is often live or die situation for a family, I would absolutelt consult an attorney. But again, I assume yes, since you will abandon AOS if you depart, it means you can't depart. You will naturally have to stay. However, I remember my attorney advised me to maintain my L1 status until after i140 is approved, even though i485 was filed concurrently. If thats the case with i130, which i would confirm, again, with an attorney. You are going (well, she is) to overstay the officer stamp which is typically 6 months. I'm not sure if that by itself introduces an issue, it might. otherwise, 1. anyone who came into the US on B1/B2 visa SHOULD NOT marry within the first 60days (so called 30/60 rule) 2. Anyone who is coming on B1/B2 visa should not file AOS within the first 90 days (aka 90 days rule), as it would mean you(her) lied about her non-immigramt intentions. P.S. Please watch carefully F2A Category Status in Visa Bulletin, it has to be CURRENT for you to be able to file concurrently. It is now, but it can change next month. Update: I'm pretty sure this what is going to happen, but please, consult an attorney)) 1. You are LPR. She has B1-B2 visa. 2. She comes to the US as B2. 3. You get married on day 63-80 of her visit. 4. You submit i130, i485 concurrently assuming F2A is CURRENT on that date. 5. As soon as you receive Notice, your wife will have abandoned her B2 status, and her visa would be annulled. She will now be in Pending i485 status. She cannot travel, but can apply for parole. 6. If i130/i485 are approved, you are good. 6a. If either is denied, she loses everything, and no more B1-B2 visa as it would be considered abandoned. This is not a legal advice. Please reach out to an attorney.

Hi @Kseniya International Just to update some great news! We filled my mother's application on January 3rd of this year, and today, May 15th we received a letter with our interview for May 23rd. It has been a little over 5 months since we sent all forms and I am amazed at how relatively fast the process is going so far. I want to thank you for all your amazing videos! Thank you, thank you!!! Howdy from Texas!
Thank you for this. I am wondering peoples experience filing concurrently, however filing the I-130 online? I see some people really recommending to send paper applications together to prevent them getting disconnected. Is this something to worry about?
Hi kseniya, thank you for providing all these free information, I’m using your videos to do my application. 🙏🏻 You said that you don't need to wait for the I-130 to be approved online to fill out the I-485. I already have it filled out to send it by mail and my husband filled out the 130 online, in this case to send the I-485 by mail (with the notice receipt) must it be approved on the website first or as soon as I receive the receipt I can send it along with the package? Should I put this receipt number on form 485 too or just send a copy? Thank you
How long should a person wait for a response regarding the I-130 before filing the I-485? Also, if someone is filing from inside the US, can the benificiary wait along with them for processing?? Thank you for your content.
Hi Kseniya, thank you for this video is great, I am a US Citizen and just married my girlfriend in March here in Miami, she came here on vacation with her son from Colombia, she entered the country legally as they both have tourist visas and she has visited several times the USA before, she is a lawyer back in Colombia. We were going to get married in Colombia and do the immigration applications there, but as the situation with crime got worst in Bogota, I convinced her to stay here in the USA with her son. We just filed online the I-130 for her and one for her son. I am guessing we are eligible for concurrent filing, is that correct? Thank you again for these wonderful and instructive videos.

How would my spouse be currently residing in the US as a UK citizen I don't understand how we can file together? I doubt he can travel in on an esta and we could file together making him stay here while the greencard is being processed?
Thank you for taking your time to explain this process in details. My question to you is does USCIS send one or two receipts notice when forms I-130 and I-485 are filled currently in same package. This was and application filled in 2004.
Thank you for all of the information you are giving us, but I have a question, could i filled the I-130 and I-131 form online with the same payment fees? Thanks again
Hello! Thank you for the helpful videos. Im still a little stuck - if I'm in the US with my two kids (the three of us are US citizens) and my husband is a UK national but living in Pakistan, can I apply for i-130 and i-485 concurrently for him from USA? Or would it be better if he comes to us in USA on his visit visa (automatically granted for 3 months to uk citizens to my knowledge) and then we do the I-130 and i-485 together?
Hi - We filed I-130 online and received our receipt notice the next day. Can we use this receipt notice while filing I-485 or do have to wait for the version that comes in the regular mail? We both live in the US. Thanks ** UPDATE *** We waited until we received the one that came in the mail and used that. Everything turned out fine. Thanks @Kseniya
@@bishwaslamsal1036 It took about one week. We then mailed this receipt notice along with the I-485, I-765, and I-131 forms. I received my EAD and AP within one month, so it went pretty fast. Now just waiting for an interview date/appointment.
Hello..I am a US citizen ..presently living in Cambodia. I am filing I-130 for my wife. It has been more than 2 months since I mailed my application...I have not yet received reply....How long do I have to wait?
Hello Kseniya, we filed for I-485 only after getting I-130 approved. My USCIS account says concurrent filling for I-485, do you know what it means and if the processing time for concurrent and separate filing is different?
Thank you for sharing this video…I already filed the I-130 for my mom on line and got the I-797 already and thanks to you I will be filing the I-485 concurrently by mail this week. My worry is my mom will be ending her 6 months stay on Jan 11, will I let her go back to the Phils or just let her stay until we receive her greencard? Thank you very much for your reply and for your helpful information.
Dear Kseniya, thank you so much for all the information you provide to us. I have a question, if I am a US citizen and my husband lives in Mexico, what other form besides the I130 should I submit or send to make this more faster and secure? Does the visa K3 is a good idea to bring him to the United States while he waits for the green card?
Great videos..can you clarify something...spouse is on K 1 Visa do we need to send in I 130 with I 485....from what some folks on social media that 130 is not needed ?
Hi Susy, not sure if you already got this answer. But no, if someone entered illegally without ever having gone through inspection they do not qualify for “Adjustment of Status” application (I-485). I am not a lawyer but these past few months I have had consultations w/quite a few and they have all said this same thing
Love the channel. My wife and I are confused about when she can quit school. She is here on an F1 but we got married and have been getting our packet together. Can she quit after they receive the i 130 or do they need to receive both the i 130 and the i 485?
Thank you for making all those helpful videos. Regarding concurrent filing option 2, I have already filed I-130 online and now preparing to send I-485 and I-684 by mail. I hear you mentioned mailing I 485 to direct mailing address based on residency. but someone told me to mail to address one mentioned in i-130 Notice which is in my case Potomac Service Center. Just wanted to confirm with you, that is not correct right?
No, you must send it to the direct filing address published on the uscis page. A service center is not a receiving lockbox facility. 🙅🏻♀️ If you send it there, it will get rejected or lost.
Hello! Thank you for the information, What happen if I am inside of US, submitted the I-130 form online, received the approval and they send the case to NVC, should I keep completing the NVC information that they requesting me? or just send the I 485 form papers directly to USCIS? Thank you
Thank you , I did fill out I -130 online, in October 13 for my parents, I did receive confirmation letter from USCIS , can I fill out I -485 online too?
@ Angel do your parents live in the US? If so, what’s their current status and have they worked in the US without authorization? These and many more questions need to be kept in mind
@ksenia. Gracias por tus videos! He terminado mi paquete Peticion familiar por matrimonio, y estoy confundida sobre el lugar donde debo enviar. Voy a enviar I 130 más I 485, I765 y I 864. Vivo en Dallas Texas por favor gracias si me puedes ayudar.
Your videos are great Kseniya! Thanks. I heard that one can file form I-485 online too, is that true? Anyhow, I am still not be able to find it in my USCIS account. We haven't submitted the form I-130 yet, maybe that's the reason I haven't seen I-485 available in my account. I appreciate if you help me.
@@KseniyaInternational Thanks so much for your quick response. We just filed I-130. I am eligible for concurrent filing of I-130 and I-485. It seems that I need the receipt of I-130, to attach to my I-485 document, right? this receipt is called I-797. Correct me if I am wrong. Now my question is, I should wait until I receive I-797, and then file I-485? Or now that I am eligible for concurrent filing means I can send I-485 without any wait? Thanks!
If filing for my spouse as a citizen, do I have to wait in order to receive the receipt of i130 or receive the i797 to file and mail i485? Does the i797 have to be included? Thank you!
Hi Kseniya, I just submitted form I-130 for my parent who is in the US now. I'm a US citizen, would you recommend that I file the form I-485 now, or do I wait for the receipt of notice for the I-130 and send that together with the I-485 application?
Hello huge thanks for amazing advices, could you please help me to figure out if a US citizens's spouse who is already in the US was a tourist but over stood, can a petitioner still concurrent filling for her even though she has no legal status now because overstood here?
Hi. Thank you for this video and your explanation. I get my Citizenship Certification lately, and I want to Petition my mother to live permanently in the USA, I want to file I-130 & I-485 concurrently, but I don't work, my question is: should I send with the I-130 application Form I-864 & I-864a contract between me and my husband who is the Householder along with form I-485? I will be grateful if you can help me to figure out what should I do. Thank you
Hi, thank you for this very informative video. I do have a question, not sure if you have been asked about this. How soon could you file I130 and I485 when your relative is currently residing in the US? Thank you in advance!
Thank you for amazing video!, in case of concurrent filing (for a wife) do I need to duplicate evidence for each form or just attach everything (or most) to I-485? I talking about pictures, IDs, passport, birth certificate, I-94, etc., some forms may have unique evidence but some require same documents. I would like to send I-130, I-130A, I-765, I-131, I-864 and I-693 at the same time. Thank you!
I have a question for you. Are you still allowed to mail all the completed forms and payment like in the video you provided about submitting the packet with all the documentation?
Thank you for the information. My mom arrived to the US from Ukraine via parole. I am a US citizen applying for her Green Card. On a USCIS website under documents it says police records. Does that mean records from Ukraine or records from USA?
Thank you so much for this great video! I submitted an I-130 a couple of weeks ago for my wife. I received a receipt number and says it is under evaluation. Do I have to wait until I get a communication from USCIS with an A- number, before I submit the I-485 form for concurrent filing? The Receipt notice starts with an IOE... not with an A- number. Thank you - I AM VERY VERY CONFUSED.
Hello Kseniya Thank you for this video, it is a valuable informations in this video, i was looking for this answers for 2 days now.

Today i went to filed and k-3/k-4 visa for her and my stepdaughter with the intention that when she comes to the US she could start working before the green card, now after i came across to your video i want to file concurrently for the i-485 right away, so for the fees how is it going to be for my wife and her daughter ? The kid is 10 year old. Thank you for taking time read, i don’t know i can summarize better

Thank you for your video! It is very informative! Could you answer me some questions? My mother-in-law filed a I-130 for my husband (her son - over 21). The receipt date was Feb/28/2013. Up to now the case was not approved. Well, my name is listed on the form because I am married to him. Should she had filled a I-130 for me, too ? If yes, now, what should we do since she mentioned that I was her son ‘s wife but did not file a form for me? And, another question... can we file the form I-485 + I-765 without approval of I-130? (I have a F-1 visa now). Thank you!!
Hi you are the most no charge/ transparent mode to get immigration updates. Does CSPA apply to f2b catagory. I have a green card and 2 kids under 21. Afraid they will age out in one year and I 130 processing time is a lot longer than one year-any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Hello Kseniya, My wife a US citizen filed my I130 online. However since I am on H1B and in US, I realized that I am eligible for concurrent filing. However, on my I979 C receipet notice and online account, there is no A-number. I only see a case number along with receipt number. The form I485 form needs A-number. Should I just submit my I-485 form without giving my A-number? Any help will be highly appreciated.
@@KseniyaInternational can i submit same time the i 765... ( i also got the i 797c).. married with us citizen and living in the us... so just with the receipt number of I797C.. that's all.. sub the i 485 and i 765.. thanks... confirm please.kseniya ;-)
Hello. I love your helpful videos. I have a question. If the husband and wife are both in the united states does the husband ( the US citizen) need to file 1-130? Or is this form only for the situation that the person is outside of the us?
I filed form I-130 for mum whose currently visiting and should be leaving the USA by the end of this month to return in Jan and stay for 6 months till June. I'm not sure on when I should file the form I-485. Can you please advise?
Is Form i130 filled out by the sponsor so sponsor must create a USCIS account for themselves and i485 is filed under my wife’s USCIS account? Separate accounts file separate forms? Thanks for the video.
Hello Kseniya, thanks a lot for your videos! I have a question about evidence. We filled form I130 online and included only very general evidence, which are marriage certificate and apartment leases. For some reason I assumed the rest of evidence can be sent with I-485. Does that make a big difference in the end, how and when the rest of evidence was sent? I am going to send i-485 very soon.
Hello, if they deem your bonafide marriage evidence insufficient, they will send a request for evidence. If you choose, you can probably add the evidence to I-485 but I am not sure if it will be accepted.
Hello, Very informative video. My Spouse and I filed for the employee-based AOS. My Spouse(Primary) has received her GC. However mine is pending, and the PD has retrogressed. Can I file I-130 & 485 concurrent? I am working on EAD, and I am in Parole status.
Hello TYSM for your videos! After filling I-130 online sending the evidence requested do i need to print I-130 and send it by mail along with my I-485 and other forms and required documents, or only I-485 Specifically along with the other forms and required documents?
Thank you so much Kseniya! For my situation, I am petitioning for my spouse who still currently resides outside the country (Philippines). Am I still eligible to file both forms concurrently given that she still based outside of the US?
My wife and I recently got our PIP I-131 approved and her I-94 in the mail. We are getting the paperwork ready to complete the I-130 and I-485. The only problem is we don't know how to know answer 46.b of the I-130 asking for her "Form I-94 Arrival-departure record number" since her I-94 only came with a 10 digit number that starts with an "A" on the back and not a 11 digit one. What do we do? Her class of admission is "CP".
You've been so helpful with this whole process, i'm nearly done with filling out everything. but i have one question. If i'm married to a us citizen and i only want to file for Permanent Residence. i dont want to do any family petition. can i go ahead and submit my I-485 alone ?

I have a question i send my original form like i-485 i-131 and i-765 package to uscis not a copy is that ok
God bless you 🌹
What timeline should I follow? The i-130 and the i-485, both give me different timeline
How would my spouse be currently residing in the US as a UK citizen I don't understand how we can file together? I doubt he can travel in on an esta and we could file together making him stay here while the greencard is being processed?
Your videos has help me a lot! Thanks 🙏 Question I have parolee in place for a year can I apply for i-765 concurrently too or do I have to wait?
Thank you for taking your time to explain this process in details. My question to you is does USCIS send one or two receipts notice when forms I-130 and I-485 are filled currently in same package. This was and application filled in 2004.
@Raheem There’s *typically* a receipt notice for each form you file. You haven’t received receipt notices at all?
Thanks for all you do. Can spouse of green card holders file concurrently or is it just applicable to US citizens?
Yes you could file
Thank you for all of the information you are giving us, but I have a question, could i filled the I-130 and I-131 form online with the same payment fees? Thanks again
What if I didn’t include the I-130 receipt notice with the i-485?
Hi, Keseniya, I like you videos, can you please let me know what are all the forms needed to file for my mom's green card, she lives in usa.
Thank you for ur video. Can you file both I-130 and I-485 on line? Or like u said in the video you can do the former on line and the latter by mail?
Hello! Thank you for the helpful videos. Im still a little stuck - if I'm in the US with my two kids (the three of us are US citizens) and my husband is a UK national but living in Pakistan, can I apply for i-130 and i-485 concurrently for him from USA? Or would it be better if he comes to us in USA on his visit visa (automatically granted for 3 months to uk citizens to my knowledge) and then we do the I-130 and i-485 together?
Please can mail I-130 and I-130A to the same address ⁉️please kindly respond😌🙏🏾
Hi - We filed I-130 online and received our receipt notice the next day. Can we use this receipt notice while filing I-485 or do have to wait for the version that comes in the regular mail? We both live in the US. Thanks
** UPDATE ***
We waited until we received the one that came in the mail and used that. Everything turned out fine. Thanks @Kseniya
@@bishwaslamsal1036 It took about one week. We then mailed this receipt notice along with the I-485, I-765, and I-131 forms. I received my EAD and AP within one month, so it went pretty fast. Now just waiting for an interview date/appointment.
Which service center did you apply to?
Thanks
Did you send the copy of the receipt notice letter or the original?

Hello..I am a US citizen ..presently living in Cambodia. I am filing I-130 for my wife. It has been more than 2 months since I mailed my application...I have not yet received reply....How long do I have to wait?
Hello Kseniya, we filed for I-485 only after getting I-130 approved. My USCIS account says concurrent filling for I-485, do you know what it means and if the processing time for concurrent and separate filing is different?
Thank you for sharing this video…I already filed the I-130 for my mom on line and got the I-797 already and thanks to you I will be filing the I-485 concurrently by mail this week. My worry is my mom will be ending her 6 months stay on Jan 11, will I let her go back to the Phils or just let her stay until we receive her greencard? Thank you very much for your reply and for your helpful information.
She shouldn’t be leaving the US after filing I-485. If she leaves her application will be abandoned
Dear Kseniya, thank you so much for all the information you provide to us. I have a question, if I am a US citizen and my husband lives in Mexico, what other form besides the I130 should I submit or send to make this more faster and secure? Does the visa K3 is a good idea to bring him to the United States while he waits for the green card?
Great videos..can you clarify something...spouse is on K 1 Visa do we need to send in I 130 with I 485....from what some folks on social media that 130 is not needed ?
Can I file the I-130 for my family member and when my family member is here a year and a day apply for the green card?
Great video! So everyone who applys for I-130 petition form has to also file a I-485? Even if the person entered the US illegally🤔
Hi Susy, not sure if you already got this answer. But no, if someone entered illegally without ever having gone through inspection they do not qualify for “Adjustment of Status” application (I-485). I am not a lawyer but these past few months I have had consultations w/quite a few and they have all said this same thing
@@andrearazo828 thank you for answering my question
Have you filed I 360 if yes can you please upload the video of it
thank you
Love the channel. My wife and I are confused about when she can quit school. She is here on an F1 but we got married and have been getting our packet together. Can she quit after they receive the i 130 or do they need to receive both the i 130 and the i 485?
Hello Kseniya thank you, could you tell if the concurrent filing of these two forms still valid this year?
Thank you for making all those helpful videos. Regarding concurrent filing option 2, I have already filed I-130 online and now preparing to send I-485 and I-684 by mail. I hear you mentioned mailing I 485 to direct mailing address based on residency. but someone told me to mail to address one mentioned in i-130 Notice which is in my case Potomac Service Center. Just wanted to confirm with you, that is not correct right?
No, you must send it to the direct filing address published on the uscis page. A service center is not a receiving lockbox facility. 🙅🏻♀️ If you send it there, it will get rejected or lost.
Hello! Thank you for the information, What happen if I am inside of US, submitted the I-130 form online, received the approval and they send the case to NVC, should I keep completing the NVC information that they requesting me? or just send the I 485 form papers directly to USCIS? Thank you
Thank you , I did fill out I -130 online, in October 13 for my parents, I did receive confirmation letter from USCIS , can I fill out I -485 online too?
@ Angel do your parents live in the US? If so, what’s their current status and have they worked in the US without authorization? These and many more questions need to be kept in mind
@ksenia. Gracias por tus videos! He terminado mi paquete Peticion familiar por matrimonio, y estoy confundida sobre el lugar donde debo enviar. Voy a enviar I 130 más I 485, I765 y I 864. Vivo en Dallas Texas por favor gracias si me puedes ayudar.
Your videos are great Kseniya! Thanks. I heard that one can file form I-485 online too, is that true? Anyhow, I am still not be able to find it in my USCIS account. We haven't submitted the form I-130 yet, maybe that's the reason I haven't seen I-485 available in my account. I appreciate if you help me.
I-485 is only filed by mail
@@KseniyaInternational Thanks so much for your quick response. We just filed I-130. I am eligible for concurrent filing of I-130 and I-485. It seems that I need the receipt of I-130, to attach to my I-485 document, right? this receipt is called I-797. Correct me if I am wrong. Now my question is, I should wait until I receive I-797, and then file I-485? Or now that I am eligible for concurrent filing means I can send I-485 without any wait? Thanks!
@@gad1993 05:00
If filing for my spouse as a citizen, do I have to wait in order to receive the receipt of i130 or receive the i797 to file and mail i485? Does the i797 have to be included? Thank you!
Did you ever figure this out??
Do I 485 if spouse is here in the states concurtenly filing
Hello, the stepchildren from a US Citizen can filing concurrently?
Hi Kseniya, I just submitted form I-130 for my parent who is in the US now. I'm a US citizen, would you recommend that I file the form I-485 now, or do I wait for the receipt of notice for the I-130 and send that together with the I-485 application?
Can I apply for a green card concurrently, if we already submitted i130 online a week ago
Yes
Good information
Hello huge thanks for amazing advices, could you please help me to figure out if a US citizens's spouse who is already in the US was a tourist but over stood, can a petitioner still concurrent filling for her even though she has no legal status now because overstood here?

I get my Citizenship Certification lately, and I want to Petition my mother to live permanently in the USA, I want to file I-130 & I-485 concurrently, but I don't work, my question is: should I send with the I-130 application Form I-864 & I-864a contract between me and my husband who is the Householder along with form I-485?

Hi, thank you for this very informative video. I do have a question, not sure if you have been asked about this. How soon could you file I130 and I485 when your relative is currently residing in the US? Thank you in advance!
technically immediate relatives are eligible to file whenever but some attorneys recommend waiting 60-90 days.
@@KseniyaInternational Thank you for responding.
Thank you for amazing video!, in case of concurrent filing (for a wife) do I need to duplicate evidence for each form or just attach everything (or most) to I-485? I talking about pictures, IDs, passport, birth certificate, I-94, etc., some forms may have unique evidence but some require same documents. I would like to send I-130, I-130A, I-765, I-131, I-864 and I-693 at the same time. Thank you!
You do not have to duplicate the evidence
Thanks again!
I have a question for you. Are you still allowed to mail all the completed forms and payment like in the video you provided about submitting the packet with all the documentation?
Yes, like I said in this video, filing by mail is one of the concurrent filing options.
@@KseniyaInternational thank you so very much.
Thank you for the information.
My mom arrived to the US from Ukraine via parole. I am a US citizen applying for her Green Card. On a USCIS website under documents it says police records. Does that mean records from Ukraine or records from USA?
Thank you so much for this great video! I submitted an I-130 a couple of weeks ago for my wife. I received a receipt number and says it is under evaluation. Do I have to wait until I get a communication from USCIS with an A- number, before I submit the I-485 form for concurrent filing? The Receipt notice starts with an IOE... not with an A- number. Thank you - I AM VERY VERY CONFUSED.
You don’t have to wait, you can just use the receipt notice copy
Hello Kseniya

Thank you for your video! It is very informative!
Could you answer me some questions? My mother-in-law filed a I-130 for my husband (her son - over 21). The receipt date was Feb/28/2013. Up to now the case was not approved. Well, my name is listed on the form because I am married to him. Should she had filled a I-130 for me, too ? If yes, now, what should we do since she mentioned that I was her son ‘s wife but did not file a form for me?
And, another question... can we file the form I-485 + I-765 without approval of I-130? (I have a F-1 visa now).
Thank you!!
No, you are a derivative applicant. Once the case is at the NVC stage you should be included in his case summary
Hi you are the most no charge/ transparent mode to get immigration updates. Does CSPA apply to f2b catagory. I have a green card and 2 kids under 21. Afraid they will age out in one year and I 130 processing time is a lot longer than one year-any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Hello Kseniya, My wife a US citizen filed my I130 online. However since I am on H1B and in US, I realized that I am eligible for concurrent filing. However, on my I979 C receipet notice and online account, there is no A-number. I only see a case number along with receipt number. The form I485 form needs A-number. Should I just submit my I-485 form without giving my A-number? Any help will be highly appreciated.
Yes you can submit without A number. Just indicate your receipt number and priority date on the form I-485 where it asks for it
@@KseniyaInternational can i submit same time the i 765... ( i also got the i 797c).. married with us citizen and living in the us... so just with the receipt number of I797C.. that's all.. sub the i 485 and i 765.. thanks... confirm please.kseniya ;-)
Hello. I love your helpful videos. I have a question. If the husband and wife are both in the united states does the husband ( the US citizen) need to file 1-130? Or is this form only for the situation that the person is outside of the us?
Yes I-130 is mandatory
I filed form I-130 for mum whose currently visiting and should be leaving the USA by the end of this month to return in Jan and stay for 6 months till June. I'm not sure on when I should file the form I-485. Can you please advise?
What type of visa does your mum have?
Is it still valid or expired?
And are you a US citizen yourself or permanent resident?
Is Form i130 filled out by the sponsor so sponsor must create a USCIS account for themselves and i485 is filed under my wife’s USCIS account? Separate accounts file separate forms? Thanks for the video.
how long thus it take to process a I-130 petition with a priority date of March 21, 2014
Hello Kseniya, thanks a lot for your videos! I have a question about evidence. We filled form I130 online and included only very general evidence, which are marriage certificate and apartment leases. For some reason I assumed the rest of evidence can be sent with I-485. Does that make a big difference in the end, how and when the rest of evidence was sent? I am going to send i-485 very soon.
Hello, if they deem your bonafide marriage evidence insufficient, they will send a request for evidence. If you choose, you can probably add the evidence to I-485 but I am not sure if it will be accepted.
@@KseniyaInternational That's good to know, thank you!
Is that possible that they just deny it right away or they usually send an RFE first?
@@zarinan.3774 usually RFE first. Hopefully they won’t deny

My wife and I recently got our PIP I-131 approved and her I-94 in the mail. We are getting the paperwork ready to complete the I-130 and I-485. The only problem is we don't know how to know answer 46.b of the I-130 asking for her "Form I-94 Arrival-departure record number" since her I-94 only came with a 10 digit number that starts with an "A" on the back and not a 11 digit one. What do we do? Her class of admission is "CP".
Is there an “admission number”?
