I just want to say thank you. My wife and I have watched most of your videos and we felt confident enough to do it ourselves. We filed all the applications at once and our biometric appointment is next month. You’re awesome and keep up the good work.

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. 😢
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?
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!

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.
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?
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.
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?
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.

So after watching this video thoroughly (and your other videos), I ended up making the mistake that you cannot be making.

Can you please advise the best way to correct that? I filed I-130, I-485 & I-864 together. Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing the info. I was gonna make this mistake already. I am filing concurrently i-130 and i-485 for husband who's in US. So which city or town should I put? where he lives or the USCIS office designated by states for concurrent filing? I would highly appreciate if you can please clarify for me. TIA
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? :)
I won the green card lottery in 2018 and came to America. I just got married and she lives in Turkey. I am applying for I-130. What was your date of admission? city or town? state? . 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?
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?

My brother wants to fill out I 130 for me - sibling. I am currently in USA I have reparole till August 2026. I came here via U4U program. For siblings process is extremely long. I do not know if I can adjust my status in US. What I need to answer in part: “where the beneficiary will continue apply for the green card?” What I need to add in this section?
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?
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?
Let's say my petition for parents has been approved. They are in my home country and can come visit me. Is there a time frame within which they MUST come to the USA? And if they don't, the permission would be annuled?

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? Are they going to investigate her dad’s? Or is it just normal case for when a beneficiary lose contact with their parent? We’re just worried we are going to ask a lot of questions about her dad.
Hello. Let me begin by thanking you for your in-depth 1 hour long video on filling out the I-130. It was very helpful and helped us alot. The only question I had that you did not address in the video was: For the 5 year employment history, do you have to include gaps in employment? For example would you put currently employed as business 1, then put unemployed for 4 months after you quit the previous job at business 2? And then fill out business 2? I'm not sure if I should do that or just put business 1, 2, 3 and 4. Without including the 1 or 2 month gaps in between them. Thank you for all your time and effort. I appreciate it.
Hi Kseniya! Thank you very much for your very helpful video! I hope I had watched your video before I submitted the petition for my father.

So which city or town should I put? where he lives or the USCIS office designated by states for concurrent filing? I would highly appreciate if you can please clarify for me. TIA
Thanks!
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? :)
Is there a minimum number of affidavits required? Also do they need to be notarized? Thank you. I’m trying to the I-130 for my wife.
Did you submit a notarized affidavit?
I won the green card lottery in 2018 and came to America. I just got married and she lives in Turkey. I am applying for I-130. What was your date of admission? city or town? state? . 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?
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?
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.
Thank you very much for this value information 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
Hi Kseniya, should I leave blank or none in every form? For example I have no middle, should I leave it blank or none?
any immediate family petition videos for i485 form??
Thanks for your perfect explanations. I have a question,I submitted I-130 form for my mother and now I want to apply for my father,but I don’t remember exact dates of my last 5 years working in each place except 2 of them,what do I do fo second form?
Hi. Thanks for ALL your videos..they're SO helpful.
Wonder if you can help me with the following question?
I'm petitioning my spouse who's had an off the books job, should I enter his job information on the I-130 application?
My brother wants to fill out I 130 for me - sibling.
I am currently in USA I have reparole till August 2026. I came here via U4U program.
For siblings process is extremely long. I do not know if I can adjust my status in US.
What I need to answer in part: “where the beneficiary will continue apply for the green card?”
What I need to add in this section?
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?
Do I need to fill out a i-131f ? I'm still waiting for my approval for the I130a.. they just added this
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?
Let's say my petition for parents has been approved. They are in my home country and can come visit me. Is there a time frame within which they MUST come to the USA? And if they don't, the permission would be annuled?
thank you for this Video but how do i file i 130 for my child and her children which are my grand kids
USCIS had an RFE for the application I-130A for my I-130. Is that good? Or should i be concerned?

Should future husband adjust status or keep both unless the other (marriage) fails? He’s in USA. What other forms need to be filed with i130 after marriage?
Thanks Kseniya , Please How Can Some one cancel a Request to be a Supporter if he decides to deny a file ? .
Do you need to put your signature if you file online?
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?
Do I have to put (N/A) for all that dont apply to me?
Can I use my USCIS Acct to file my parent I-130 online or I should create an account for her then file I-130 online with that new acct
Hi kseniya, do i have to add all the unemployment days also in the employment history while filing I-130A application

Hello, i have a question regarding affidavit of support fee. Is there a fee fo file this? I have read conflicting information. If so, does this need to be paid when filing at a lockbox or on USCIS. Thank you.

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?

My sister is in usa on tourist visa i am a us citizen can he apply for workpermit as well?
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
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.
I wanna know too 🙏🏼
Same here, which route you found is best ?
Hi I am American and visit Mexico every 6 months and live with my hubby here....after 6 months I go back to usa for 2 days and wait there. Then I re apply for my permission to be in Mexico for another 6 months. This is how we have done it for many years. My hubby bought a land and we built a cabin but the owner of the land refuses to give us the deed. I have no way to prove my residence here in Mexico and I am on a vacation permission only... how can I prove that I live in Mexico with hubby (who is a Mexican National)? Is it possible that I can write a sworn statement of how we manage living together as a married couple? Kindly I need some advise and would donate!!!
If we done something’s wrong while failing on form I-130 do we need to do biometric,, I’m already usa citizenship
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.
Hello, Kseniya! Please advise which interview location to put in the online petition for IR1. My husban and I currently live in UAE, however wait for interview after DQ is 1.5 years here, so I was thinking to put my interview country Kyrgyzstan since I am a citizen. Is it correct?
You can put preferred interview location however the embassy makes the final decision to accept the case or not in that country.

Подскажите пожалуйста почему у нас не печатається штрих код внизу страници?
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? Are they going to investigate her dad’s? Or is it just normal case for when a beneficiary lose contact with their parent? We’re just worried we are going to ask a lot of questions about her dad.
what about if i will file a i601a once i130 is approved? so he’s in the usa right now but he will go to an embassy in his home country to finish
Hello. Let me begin by thanking you for your in-depth 1 hour long video on filling out the I-130. It was very helpful and helped us alot.
The only question I had that you did not address in the video was: For the 5 year employment history, do you have to include gaps in employment?
For example would you put currently employed as business 1, then put unemployed for 4 months after you quit the previous job at business 2? And then fill out business 2?
I'm not sure if I should do that or just put business 1, 2, 3 and 4. Without including the 1 or 2 month gaps in between them.
Thank you for all your time and effort. I appreciate it.
Yes you should explain your gaps in employment as “unemployed” to make sure the application is as complete as possible
Hi Kseniya! Thank you very much for your very helpful video! I hope I had watched your video before I submitted the petition for my father. My father stays with us and he is going to adjust status in Masschusett, but I filled Chicago IL instead Boston MA for question 61a and 61b. I misunderstood USCIS office near where we live with the direct filing address of I-485. May I have your advice to correct this mistake? What will happen if I failed to correct this mistake? Thanks a lot in advance!
Did you get an update! I did the same thing
