tonyc001 Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Hello - I am a US Citizen applying for mothers Green Card. My father passed away earlier this year. Thereafter we applied for her Tourist visa at New Delhi embassy as want to bring her to USA as nobody is there with her. She was denied Tourist visa twice at Delhi Embassy and we have been told our chances of getting the Tourist visa are now negligible. I need help and requesting clarifications. As a Petitioner (son) I am enclosing the following documents with the Application : 1) I-130 Completed 2) Certificate of Naturalization 3) Passport Copy 4) Birth Certificate that has my mothers name 5) Fees of US $535 made to Department of Homeland Security. 6) Copy of my mothers passport 7) Copy of her Expired Visa from 1997 which is asked as part of Form 8- Her Aadhar Card and PAN Card and a school certificate showing her date of birth Here are my questions: a) Do I need to include I-864 (Affidavit of Support) to be included with application or that comes at a later stage? b) Do I need to include my paystubs from US Job along with my Income Tax Returns with the application? c) How long is this taking for Parents GC CP these days ? d) I don't have her birth certificate and marriage certificate - are those required for any reasons? e) Is there anything else I should include that I may be missing above in the list? f) How long is it taking to get through CP these days for parent? Appreciate quick responses and help to these questions. Regards Tony Quote Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Follow the Instructions provided. https://www.uscis.gov/greencard/consular-processing Only send documents they require. They will get back and offer DNA testing to be done by you and your Mom if they want to prove the relationship. Only send documents required and wait for the process as in the hyperlink. Your fathers Death Certificate will be needed at some point. A very straightforward process which can be delayed if you send documents not requested by them. Quote Link to comment

pontevecchio Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 You cannot speed it up. The NVC will get back to you. The whole process takes about an year. Quote Link to comment
tonyc001 Posted September 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 Hello - Thanks for the response. I am trying to stay ahead of USCIS so that I am ready with all documents. What should be the next steps in this process? After this application is submitted and they have acknowledged, what should I be ready with here? a) Will I need my mothers birth certificate? She does not have one so making sure b) Do I need to get ready any Affidavit of Support documents? c) What else I should be prepared for here? Thanks again for the guidance. Quote Link to comment
tonyc001 Posted September 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 I guess one more question. How much time are they typically taking to approve and Inform the NVC of I-130 ? Will they inform me or my mother who is in India? Regards Quote Link to comment
