PhilippinesLooking for information on I-130 Child aging out.

 

But it will be current in August. So aaron2020's advice is really valid and doable.

 

yes, just depends on when the MIL has her interview and arrives here, and when the priority date retrogresses.

PhilippinesLooking for information on I-130 Child aging out.

You need to get the latest Visa Bulletin.  http://travel.state....letin_1360.html

 

Look at the August 2013 Visa Bulletin.  The PD for the F2a category will be "Current" as of Aug. 1, 2013.

 

As soon as MIL gets her visa, have her come to the US ASAP so she can file for her child.  The faster she comes, the better off her child will be.

 

Guessing, this bit of information changes things?

 

maybe, maybe not. I read it will probably retrogress in Oct or Nov. the ones who will benefit most are those already in the U.S.

does you mother-in-law have an interview date yet?


sunandmoonMalePhilippines2013-07-22 23:41:00
PhilippinesLooking for information on I-130 Child aging out.

 

This is correct. We would submit everything that is requested.

 

We are submitting the I-130 for my wife's sister. But we are having her mother do the submitting.

 

 

 

So, we 'forget' to submit a birth certificate with the I-130,We get a request for one. An RFE. So we send them the requested certificate. As with most birth certificates from the Philippines it will be blurry and hard to read. As was the case with the I-130 we submitted for mother-in-law, they wanted more. So we got a Baptismal from the church.

 

 

 

I would expect we can get 2 requests this way.

 

 

 

We can legally delay sending in the papers for up to one year, per request, with out penalty, as is outlined in the RFE papers.

 

 

 

With only these 2 requests, we can push the approval time out to the point we just may be able to get her priority date current before the I-130 is submitted to NVC.

 

 

Its the only chance we have of getting her sister here inside of 10 to 30 years... before she ages out.

 

-Phil

 

 

.

 

how do you assume you have up to one year to respond to a RFE?

PhilippinesLooking for information on I-130 Child aging out.

So...

 

IF:

Preference Classification for Permanent Residence or Derivative

CSPA allows the time a visa petition was pending to be subtracted from the beneficiary?s biological age at the time of visa availability so that the applicant is not penalized for the time in which USCIS did not adjudicate the petition.

AND:

the priority date is the date the I-130 is received at USCIS

 

THEN:

 

the best course of action is to generate RFE's until the priority date becomes current.

 

ELSE:

 

the child can age out.

 

Does that about cover it?

 

Thanks

-Phil

 

What do you mean by generate RFE's untril the priority date becomes current? if it's failing to submit required documentation with the petition, the USCIS could send an RFE for all the documentation that is missing. if you sent only some of the documentation requested in the RFE, the USCIS could resume adjudicating the petition based on what was submitted. it doesn't mean the USCIS would send another RFE for what you failed to submit with the original RFE.

Once i-130 was received by USCIS:

 

The clock does not stop for the child of an LPR.

 

The clock freezes for the child of a US citizen.

When are you stopping over in the Phils?   Hopefully not on your way to the USA

 

If you stop in the Philippines customs will be looking for the CFO sticker before they will allow you to exit.

 

that's her concern. the are flying via PAL with an 8 hour layover in Manila.

Hi, I am a K-1 visa holder and my flight is in March. We are getting married in April.

4. What do I need to do to report my marriage and name change to the Philippines? Do they issue me a new passport with my married name?


that would be done at the Philippine Embassy/Consulate which has jurisdiction in the state you are residing.

they will need to attend the Peer Counseling Seminar at CFO to get the sticker in their passports.

PhilippinesPhilippine Birth Certificate

is the only issue the US Immigration Attorney brought up was her later trying to petition her mom if she becomes US Citizen? if so, if you continue as is I don't think there would be any material misrepresentation for immigration purposes. if she later changed her mind and wanted to petition her mom, that might stir up the hornet's nest.

PhilippinesI-864 at Embassy Level

I-864 is binding.

 

But when you file for AOS there will be a new I-864 submitted.  So the question in my mind is does it supersede the previous I-864?

 

 

 

maybe when an I-864 is submitted at the Embassy, a K-1 Visa applicant is not yet an intending immigrant. when a K-1 applies for AOS, they then become an intending immigrant.

PhilippinesCFO sticker without visa

Hi,

The US Embassy has approved my expedited processing request. But my mom has to wait for 2 months for the sputum culture result. :crying::crying::crying::crying: I'm thinking of ways on how to get my mom here faster. I've read in the CFO website that the visa is required for the registration. She doesn't need to go to the seminar anymore because she's over 60. My question is, has anybody over here ever tried to get the CFO sticker prior getting the visa? I want her to fly over here the day after she picks up her visa from 2GO. My due date is on Dec. 23. I want my mom here before I give birth so she can stay with my 2-year old. :help:


pretty sure she'll need to register and have visa in her passport.

Most everything in the petition comes from you.  Your fiancée provides a 2X2 passport photo, G-325A and the Letter of Intent ... if memory serves.

PhilippinesLooking for information on I-130, box 14

Ok, let's back up a second, I think I misunderstood your situation.

 

Your M-I-L is filing for her daughter?  Is M-I-L a USC?  Is daughter married?  How old is she?

 

from what I understand of the situation, the M-I-L is presenting being petitioned by the OP's wife, and is awaiting an interview. upon arrival, the

M-I-L will petition her daughter (F2A), who is now 20 years old, unmarried, and will turn 21 next July.

I believe only fiance/spouse can attend a seminar ahead ot time. they are issued a certificate to prove they attended the seminar. for all other emigrants , including K-2, It's a one day process, which is why the visa must be in hand.

What is the SAVE database?  And what would happen if she applies for SSN the very next day she arrives?  What's the importance of this SAVE database?   After applying can she immediately work or would we have to wait til we physically get it in the mail?  How long does it take to get?

 

 

 

SAVE - Systematic Alien Verification For Entitlements  

http://www.uscis.gov...0004718190aRCRD

 

if she applies before she is in the SAVE System, she will not be able to get an SSN. she will not be able to work until she has either an Employment Authorization Document ( EAD) or Green Card ( GC) from USCIS.

Philippinesforms to fill out on the plane to the USA (for POE)

she should wait for 7 to 10 days after arrival to apply for a SSN, so her info can be entered into the SAVE System. for all pratical purposes, she will not be able to work until she files for AOS and applies for and receives an EAD Card. there is no fee for the EAD Card when applied for with AOS. if you apply for an EAD card before filing for AOS, it will cost $380, will take few weeks to arrive and wiil expire with the

I-94, which is 90 days after POE.

A divorce in the USA will not be recognized in the Philippines. the only time you can have a judicial recognition of foreign divoce in the Philippines is when a filipino citizen marries a foreign citizen and the foreign citizen initiates the divorce.
