Hello I would love to book a consult but I'm not sure which one of the lawyers to pick. I am assuming to go through the path of job or going back to school. Please let me know which one of your staff is best to speak with (if it's you that's fine as well) so I can book the consultation. Thank you so much. FYI I was recently completely divorced from a terrible marriage so I don't know of that's an option either. Thank you so much
I have a question regarding NVC one-year contact requirement. Is this the maximum time we have to submit our case to NVC for final review or is this just for contacting NVC? I have an I-130 application which has been approved and received by NVC but I wanted to delay it for more than a year due to some family issues and wondering if I have the option to do that.
The first step is over for my wife , looking forward for step 2 which is nvc to send me the welcome letter ! My wife I 130 application took 14 long months, but I finally got approved on September 27, 2024. I submitted my wife's application on July 25, 2023, and we got an update on August 10 2023 that her case is being actively reviewed. The process is stressful, but hang in there - patience is key!
Thank you Mrs McBean, This is exactly my case at the moment, My papers are at the NVC, waiting on a date from 2020 and I'm going to need a waiver....I don't know where their processing period at right now.
Hi, thanks for the great info. I have been following you for more than a year or two now. Just had an advice. If you are an immigration lawyer than you cannot say in note on the screen "not legal advice" but something like "reach out to us for more details or personal questions". That would be better rather than causing a confusion for your viewers. Thanks God bless.
I file for my daughter 2015 as a green card holder, now I am a citizen from 2018 but I never update the status the our priority date is March 2015 and she still haven't done interview yet.
Grateful for your advice mam 🙏🏾 hope to get more tips on F1 family preference category for persons residing in the USA. Can you apply for work permit while I 130 is pending?
We were on a roll with our I-130 petitition. It was approved in 6 months. The USCIS retained it becasue I did not indicate where my husband plans to apply. On the notice it also says that I have to file a I-824 just to get the USCIS to forword my petition to the NVC. I also applied for a I-129f which was denied a day later. On that form it says that the I-129f has been denied and they are going to forward my petition to the NVC. A month later as I wait I started to ask questions. It turns out that I still have to submit the I-824 which is $465, just to move the petition. Rotten luck. ( funny thing I was so stressed out filling out the I130. Was affraid I was going to miss something. Well....... It did.
Is it possible to get more videos on family preference please. Like a US citizen parent sponsoring an adult child. There are soooo many videos on spouse and so few videos on parents sponsoring
@@McBeanImmigrationLaw My mistake, yes they can apply and use the waiver but I think majority of them don't want to apply as they don't want to leave the U.S. and be separated from their families. Even with a waiver, there's still a risk,
I am a US citizen, but I am confused. I married Singaporean over a year ago. We want to live in the US and start a family. She also wants to become a US Citizen. I am currently preparing to file a Form I-130 petition. How does a Green Card play into this scenario? Or, is it a faster & different process?
My husband petition for me was apparoved 2 months ago after 1 year of wait. But since then I haven’t heard any news from USCIS. It’s very frustrating and I don’t know what I should do. I’ve been in US for 10 years now and applied for green card after my marriage.
Dear McBean, I applied for my sisters I-130, It was approved but I am confused whether the longest time takes at NVC or USCIS. How long would it normally take for them to have current priority date at NVC.

my case is in NVC since 2020 my mom is aging out and the current date for Philippines visa availability is still on 2010-2012 mine is 2016 sounds like its a forget it category
The NVC sent me a message saying am documently qualified and all document have been received and approved can you tell me what next . This is a I-130 case
I once failed to appear in an immigration court because I did not receive a notice to appear and that automatically put me on removal from the country .. I got married to my long-time girlfriend and we filed the I-130 and it was approved after one year.. is it possible I apply for a change of status at this point or close the case with immigration court? Please advise.. God bless
I am in this situation. I booked a consulting with your office few weeks ago for advise as to how to move forward with an approved I-130 to a lawful permanent spouse back then.I was given to another legal representative and she was emphasizing on congressman and ombudsman office which I have even done already. I knew that couldn’t be right!!! Anyways how do I get to consult with you personally when I book for consultation…
@@Winnie2j my congressman couldn't help me either. Tried to twice to expedite my case and denied both times. I tried with my lawyer too. It's sad. So sad.
Question: if we have an approved i130 for a child over the age of 21 and at the time we applied beneficiary was a permanent resident but now is a us citizen. And both are currently in the US, what would be our next steps?
I filed for my stepdaughter before she turns 21 years old. My stepdaughter have two children during that time and now her IR2 is approved and at the NVC center which I already did all the paperwork. She is living in Jamaica. How can I get my stepchild two children to travel with her?
My adopted daughters I-130 is currently at the NVC. We also have our emergency expedite approved due to my medical ongoing treatment. So how long we have to wait for an appointment.
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?
I have a passport but it expired in May of 2017 I haven't been able or didn't know what to do now I need to go back home my mom is dying and I have no way my question us how do I get there and be able to come back I'm from Canada
Hello, Latoya Could you please help with your advice? My friend is Ukrainian, she does have travel us visa, her boyfriend does not. She wants them to get married and to come to the states for political asylum. But that would take longer time for them to change the passports. Is it necessary for them to wait for the passport change or they can just have a paper proving that they’re married. Thank you so much for all the information you share
As long as your friend and her bf have a married certificate indicating they are married, then they are good to go. USCIS doesn’t really care if the wife adopts her husband’s name neither will the US immigration courts care.
I didn't submit the I-485 concurrently because its requires an "A" Number? This process is quite confusing. I-130 is under review, family is in the USA now
Thanks for your updates, Ms.McBean. In this video you mentioned that if you need an adjustment of status it should have been filed when your I-130 was filed. If your filing was done online would you have been able to submit that form too?
Yes if you filled I-130 online and you’re the immediate relative of a US citizen, then print out form I-485, fill it, add the necessary evidences to support your claim and add a copy of I-130 receipt notice and then mail the package to the designated USCIS building.
My daughter filled the I-130 for me since 2019 and my case is now with the NVC waiting for the interview. I am based abroad but has B1-B2 tourist visa. Can I come into US and do adjustment of status at this stage.
You can but that will prolong your green card application since it will require USCIS to approve your I-485 before your green card can be produced and mailed to you. Just wait for NVC to complete the process with the US embassy
Yes you can but know that once you file for both of them, they qualify for US Visas if they pass all security checks and meet other eligibility criteria. So since you want husband to stay in his country, file only for your son and save cost
Great information, Miss Mc Bean. my son case is a documentary qualified. I am still waiting on nvc to give him an appointment date overseas .help any info will.
Hi Ms. McBean i am loyal follower of your videos. Currently my I130 petition filed by my parents in USA is at NVC. Priority date is Nov. 2022. Due to this i have been told not to visit the U.S. But both my parents have health issues and my sister is doing her best to take care of them. I would like to visit them. Would i be able to visit them? Currently i am living in Canada, and before moving here i had overstayed in US. Please advise!
Hello, I have a question. Visa Category - F2A (Spouse & Child) priority date - 18 March 2019 Documentarily Qualified - 9 October 2020. I applied immigrant visa for my spouse and child when I was on the green card. Today I got my citizenship. Should I upgrade F2A to IR1? I am aware that if I do that, I need to file separate petitions for my child, which will slightly delay the visa process. Which one is a good option? Should I keep the visa category as before, or should I upgrade it? I am waiting for your reply. Your prompt response will be highly appreciated. Thank You.
What happens if you're documentarily since 2020 July qualified and your petition is still at NVC do you still wait or there's other options to apply for your case to be attended to?
Thank you so much, I have a question ma, have divorce my husband December 2019 and he filled 1-30 for me. Now they just schedule me for interview. And I have divorce paper already. What should I do?
I’m TPS holder my husband filled the 130 get approved and my ex lawyer file form 824 in 2017 and I got approved 2018 and NVC but nothing move after that I can apply waiver I live in ga
Good evening what if your i-130 approved but you and your spouse separated because he want to discontinue the adjustment what can the person do at this point thank you
Hi! My grandma filed a petition and it was received last July 23,2013 but my grandma move here in Philippines for good. How will my father know the next process for it?
Hello, I filed the 1-130 for my wife after our wedding, who's from Colombia in 2019. Last year June USCIS asked for additional information, which was given through our attorney. Understanding that things are much slow because of the pandemic but what should we expect at this moment? And how long will it take before I can take my wife back to Colombia to visit her family whom she hasn't seen in nearly 9 years since coming to America. I am a U.S. Citizen by the way. Thank you
Because your wife has an approved I-130 application and a pending I-485 adjustment of status case, then she can apply for an advanced parole which will permit her to visit her family home and then return without any problems. Make sure you get advice from an immigration attorney before you do this.
I was approved but spent some time in prisión for two felonies due to a violation of protective order, but back in the u.s. is there a way to fix the problem?
My priority date is current and I have paid all fees and everything is complete and approved, case is at NVC When I view the the website shows status at NVC , MY LAWYER STATED I HAVE TO WAIT AND WON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE 😪 PAID ALL THIS LAWYER FEES AND BEEN STUCK FOR TWO YEARS, WHAT SHOULD I DO
It's true. I'm dq 6/9/2022. Lawyer can only try and exepite on your behalf. No guarantee, that it will be approved. It's sad. Frustrating and stressful. Hopefully, it will move faster.
My first marriage in nigeria and I am divorced and I am married to us citizens 2017 nov and file my case in march 2018, and my first interview is July 2019 and my second interview was January 2021 and up till now know decision on my case, my i130 is still not yet approved too, so what can I do now
Bro... hold on okay... you most definitely will get a visit and after the visit everything speeds up somehow, in stl Missouri here where i am that has been the trend and i have seen alot of pple shared personal stories like what i just said this year alone and guess what it happened me too, filed in 2019, first interview in november 2019, second interview in june 2021 and all of a sudden roughly 2 weeks after they showed up at one of my brothers house who now has his green card already, they showed up at my house on the 3rd of February, spent over 1hr grilling me, called my wife the next day and as i speak with you, my third work permit just deleivered last Saturday and said was approved on the 24th of February (which i applied for a renewal since August of 2021 and waiting on it since) and my I130 already approved on the 1st of march. So ill just say don't give up, it's frustrating we all know that but with your petition timeline it's probably your turn very soon. Peace my brother, i hope u recieve a good news soon. 🙏🏽
By the way i will advice u prepare for a visit and make sure everything is in order at home. They showed up early in the morning and i had no time to fix anything, and yes they entered every room. 😆 🤣.
Hey my wifey applied for my little brother he is 16 to come in United states form i 130 ..he did the interview but they said they have to send the case to USCIS ....i contacted USCIS they said case its transfered to NVS, I CONTACTED NVS they said its going through administrative processing, , should i be afraid of a denial
What Is the Purpose of Form I-824? Use Form I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition, to request further action on a previously approved application or petition.
@@rjxhnalano hi thank you for the info. Any idea how long does it take for nvc to receive the I824 notice? Do i have to wait long nefore nvc gets the request?
Thank you for your videos. Here's a situation: my friend's father juuust passed away and he was filing for his adult (& married) child. All documents had been deemed completed and the adult child was receiving monthly notifications re awaiting an appointment. What is the process for obtaining a new petitioner? Can the new petitioner pick up where the deceased father left off? (I've been searching through your past videos, but I am still looking.)
I am sorry for your friend’s lost. He doesn’t need a new petitioner but rather a sponsor. The sponsor who could be anyone but it’s preferably when such a person family or blood related. The sponsor will have to demonstrate to the US state department that when your friend and his family move to the US, they will NOT become subject to public charge, in other words mean they will not apply for any benefits like food stamps etc. The sponsor demonstrates this by submitting his or her tax returns of the previous year to the State Department and if his returns can’t meet the threshold, he or she can submit more documents like stocks portfolio details, bank account balances, and others assets. Once all these are satisfied, your friend and his family should receive their visas provided they meet other requirements too.
I’m 20 years old and I just got my citizenship, on the website it says you have to be 21 to apply for parents petition. Is that true or am I confused? The other question is. I turn 21 in march or 2023 can I apply by November or December so the process can go faster by the time I turn 21?
Thank you for the information. One question: what happens if I-130 was approved but alien relative arrived to the US under a different program (paroled)? Can we just file for adjustment of status with the same petition or do we need to start the whole process over? Thanks

Sad that most undocumented immigrant who came in to U.S. without inspection who are married for years now to a U.S. Citizen can't even apply for I-130

As long as your friend and her bf have a married certificate indicating they are married, then they are good to go. USCIS doesn’t really care if the wife adopts her husband’s name neither will the US immigration courts care.
Hi,Mrs McBean my case is this one but I'm having problems with my Adifavit of support what can I do if I can't find that right person ,thank you
I didn't submit the I-485 concurrently because its requires an "A" Number? This process is quite confusing. I-130 is under review, family is in the USA now
Thanks for your updates, Ms.McBean. In this video you mentioned that if you need an adjustment of status it should have been filed when your I-130 was filed. If your filing was done online would you have been able to submit that form too?
Yes if you filled I-130 online and you’re the immediate relative of a US citizen, then print out form I-485, fill it, add the necessary evidences to support your claim and add a copy of I-130 receipt notice and then mail the package to the designated USCIS building.
@@legarla2524 Thank you for the info given. I'll work on it immediately.
@@pauleneliverpool-thomas3809 you’re welcome. By adding your I-130 receipt, you I-485 application is free
👌🏼 Thank you! 👌🏼
My daughter filled the I-130 for me since 2019 and my case is now with the NVC waiting for the interview. I am based abroad but has B1-B2 tourist visa. Can I come into US and do adjustment of status at this stage.
You can but that will prolong your green card application since it will require USCIS to approve your I-485 before your green card can be produced and mailed to you. Just wait for NVC to complete the process with the US embassy
I filed My I 130 for my family and I got approved but my wife dies, so for my children what next
Sorry to hear my condolences to u and the kids
My condolences
Sorry for your loss 🥺
Can you file for your son and husband but make your son stay with you in the state with you while your husband stay in his country
Yes you can but know that once you file for both of them, they qualify for US Visas if they pass all security checks and meet other eligibility criteria. So since you want husband to stay in his country, file only for your son and save cost
Good morning to you
Thanks for the info , my daughter is a F24 where does that fall in the visa bulletin
Good afternoon Mrs mcbeam
Hi I've been aprove for I-130 yeras ago but but I've been Daniel asylum mean I was under deportation before I got married how can you help me please
@@Metellusernerst Hello Mrs Mcbèam my sister file for me in November of 2006 I'm in Jamaica 🇯🇲 what I'm to do
Great information, Miss Mc Bean. my son case is a documentary qualified. I am still waiting on nvc to give him an appointment date overseas .help any info will.
Hi Ms. McBean i am loyal follower of your videos. Currently my I130 petition filed by my parents in USA is at NVC. Priority date is Nov. 2022. Due to this i have been told not to visit the U.S. But both my parents have health issues and my sister is doing her best to take care of them. I would like to visit them. Would i be able to visit them? Currently i am living in Canada, and before moving here i had overstayed in US. Please advise!
Hello, I have a question.
Visa Category - F2A (Spouse & Child)
priority date - 18 March 2019
Documentarily Qualified - 9 October 2020.
I applied immigrant visa for my spouse and child when I was on the green card. Today I got my citizenship. Should I upgrade F2A to IR1? I am aware that if I do that, I need to file separate petitions for my child, which will slightly delay the visa process. Which one is a good option? Should I keep the visa category as before, or should I upgrade it? I am waiting for your reply.
Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.
Thank You.
Great content. Pls what's the difference between forms I601 and I212? Thank you.
What happens if you're documentarily since 2020 July qualified and your petition is still at NVC do you still wait or there's other options to apply for your case to be attended to?
I’m asking same question who can answer this is really sad just waiting after been qualified since 2020
Same here my parents receive my welcome letter since 2020 in July .until this day not another word
Has anyone used this law firm before? What was your experience thinking about book?

Hi! My grandma filed a petition and it was received last July 23,2013 but my grandma move here in Philippines for good. How will my father know the next process for it?
Hello, I filed the 1-130 for my wife after our wedding, who's from Colombia in 2019. Last year June USCIS asked for additional information, which was given through our attorney. Understanding that things are much slow because of the pandemic but what should we expect at this moment? And how long will it take before I can take my wife back to Colombia to visit her family whom she hasn't seen in nearly 9 years since coming to America. I am a U.S. Citizen by the way. Thank you
I’m having the same issues
Because your wife has an approved I-130 application and a pending I-485 adjustment of status case, then she can apply for an advanced parole which will permit her to visit her family home and then return without any problems.
Make sure you get advice from an immigration attorney before you do this.
How do you know when your date is current?
NOW THAT THE VACCINE MANDATE IS LIFTED IS IT STILL REQUIRED FOR THE GREEN CARD ????
Yes vaccination is still a requirement and will be for a longtime
I was approved but spent some time in prisión for two felonies due to a violation of protective order, but back in the u.s. is there a way to fix the problem?
My priority date is current and I have paid all fees and everything is complete and approved, case is at NVC When I view the the website shows status at NVC , MY LAWYER STATED I HAVE TO WAIT AND WON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE 😪 PAID ALL THIS LAWYER FEES AND BEEN STUCK FOR TWO YEARS, WHAT SHOULD I DO
Wait. If ur lawyer says wait then wait. There’s nothing ur lawyer can do other than to wait also
It's true. I'm dq 6/9/2022. Lawyer can only try and exepite on your behalf. No guarantee, that it will be approved. It's sad. Frustrating and stressful. Hopefully, it will move faster.
Where do I find the priority date?
My first marriage in nigeria and I am divorced and I am married to us citizens 2017 nov and file my case in march 2018, and my first interview is July 2019 and my second interview was January 2021 and up till now know decision on my case, my i130 is still not yet approved too, so what can I do now
Bro... hold on okay... you most definitely will get a visit and after the visit everything speeds up somehow, in stl Missouri here where i am that has been the trend and i have seen alot of pple shared personal stories like what i just said this year alone and guess what it happened me too, filed in 2019, first interview in november 2019, second interview in june 2021 and all of a sudden roughly 2 weeks after they showed up at one of my brothers house who now has his green card already, they showed up at my house on the 3rd of February, spent over 1hr grilling me, called my wife the next day and as i speak with you, my third work permit just deleivered last Saturday and said was approved on the 24th of February (which i applied for a renewal since August of 2021 and waiting on it since) and my I130 already approved on the 1st of march. So ill just say don't give up, it's frustrating we all know that but with your petition timeline it's probably your turn very soon.
Peace my brother, i hope u recieve a good news soon. 🙏🏽
By the way i will advice u prepare for a visit and make sure everything is in order at home. They showed up early in the morning and i had no time to fix anything, and yes they entered every room. 😆 🤣.
Thank bro I appreciate
What happens when an application is documentarily qualified?
You wait for your interview letter which is taking so long this days
Good afternoon
Immediate relative being a spouse.
What about to those people that have B1/B2 visa? Can they adjust their status in the US having the i-130 approved and being at the NVC stage?
Yes they can.
Hey my wifey applied for my little brother he is 16 to come in United states form i 130 ..he did the interview but they said they have to send the case to USCIS ....i contacted USCIS they said case its transfered to NVS, I CONTACTED NVS they said its going through administrative processing, , should i be afraid of a denial
I want to travel to the USA after my i-30 is approved while waiting for my interview. Can I do that? And what documents do I need ?
hi i got I-130 approved,but USCIS wants me to file I-824..any idea how to do this? thank you
What Is the Purpose of Form I-824? Use Form I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition, to request further action on a previously approved application or petition.
@@rjxhnalano hi thank you for the info. Any idea how long does it take for nvc to receive the I824 notice? Do i have to wait long nefore nvc gets the request?
What about the case of F2A? It’s all C in bulletin, does it mean all cases under F2A are current?
Yes
Thank you for your videos. Here's a situation: my friend's father juuust passed away and he was filing for his adult (& married) child. All documents had been deemed completed and the adult child was receiving monthly notifications re awaiting an appointment. What is the process for obtaining a new petitioner? Can the new petitioner pick up where the deceased father left off? (I've been searching through your past videos, but I am still looking.)
I am sorry for your friend’s lost.
He doesn’t need a new petitioner but rather a sponsor. The sponsor who could be anyone but it’s preferably when such a person family or blood related. The sponsor will have to demonstrate to the US state department that when your friend and his family move to the US, they will NOT become subject to public charge, in other words mean they will not apply for any benefits like food stamps etc. The sponsor demonstrates this by submitting his or her tax returns of the previous year to the State Department and if his returns can’t meet the threshold, he or she can submit more documents like stocks portfolio details, bank account balances, and others assets.
Once all these are satisfied, your friend and his family should receive their visas provided they meet other requirements too.
I’m 20 years old and I just got my citizenship, on the website it says you have to be 21 to apply for parents petition. Is that true or am I confused? The other question is. I turn 21 in march or 2023 can I apply by November or December so the process can go faster by the time I turn 21?
Thank you for the information. One question: what happens if I-130 was approved but alien relative arrived to the US under a different program (paroled)? Can we just file for adjustment of status with the same petition or do we need to start the whole process over? Thanks
My i485 has been accepted, but NVC wants me to pursue for an immigrant visa, why?
