[@LuisVazquez-xi2yq]

I'm Certified by the NNA(Since 2018) to do Immigration Forms, and this is, probably , the best Video explaining EVERY SINGLE thing in details. THANKS for help others!!

[@andrealeite4948]

Agreed 💯

[@alexnone790]

Hi Kseniya, I want to thank you for your detailed videos. They helped me to go through the process easily and on my own. It took only 3 months from filing I-130 to the interview and visa approval for my mother 😊

[@KseniyaInternational]

Congratulations!

Hello where your parents in the us already

[@masonsanders7689]

Great! What state are you in?

[@QueenAelivia]

Hi, how to had a child under 12 yrs on the parent filling , already both in us

[@DWDW-pb3ko]

Thanks! Great appreciation! Way better than all the lawyers ❤

[@hhmemories8999]

Great video. Very Informative. but have few questions: 1. If parents are outside of USA, and I-130 already filed. In a meantime if they come to USA, can the process to convert to adjustment of status and can the interview to be avoided as they are in USA now? 2. can they travel outside USA if their file is in process (assume filed for adjustment pf status) while they in USA as they are currently on visitor visa? 3. typical duration of process time for both scenarios, inside and outside USA? Thanks.

[@aselirsalieva475]

Thank you Kseniya for your videos very informative. Big request, could you share information for adjustments of stays for asylum approved people. As all the videos with I-130 forms makes it a bit confusing. Would be great to know all the list of documents that required and not for those who got the white card but yet need to file for adjustment of status. Big thanks ❤

[@olymatadiouf2638]

You need to go to law school. You will be a good lawyer. Your explanations are well beyond what a regular lawyer will advise. Thank you very much for your good job and dedication.

[@donnie4293]

Hey, I just want to stop by say thank you so much for those videos. I watched almost all of your video 7 month ago to apply my moms green card by my self. And now show already got her green card! I’m so appreciate those videos, they are so detailed and show the way to organize documents, I think that’s also help to speed the process. Again. Thank you and I wish the best for you and all others willing to apply for their family’s green card. 😊

[@sabamoosa7115]

May God bless you for helping us with this process. I’m trying to file I-485 for my parents concurrently with I-130. I’m having difficulty to fill I-485 specifically for parents on B1 visa. Especially with question saying ‘ subject to public charge’ Who is suppose to answer this question? Me or my parents ? They are on b1 visa never worked here and has no assets and liability over her. I’m really overwhelmed with this question Need your assistance 🙏thank you

[@radhadoddareddy9547]

Is birthcertificate enough to prove relationship or surnames need to match?

[@HYY-p3k]

This is a great video, super clear and informative. Do you have any thoughts or recommendations to share about the 90-day rule? Would you avoid filing the i130 within 90 days of arrival, or just avoid filing i485 within 90 days of arrival? Thank you!!

[@KseniyaInternational]

I would be extra careful, yes. I would wait personally but I know it's not a rule just a guidance.

[@instantprocessor]

Hi thanks for information I have question how many income we have that we can bring parents and USA

[@selsahmwishen2981]

Hi thanks for sharing. Very detailed and professional. How long does immigration office take to process parent's petition for a us.citizen?

[@milappatel4655]

Hi mam I have little bit tricky question Say if parents are on visitor visa ( 6 months ) Can we file i130,i485 all together ?? And while we file for them What’s their status ? Adjustment of status pending applicant or still visitor visa ?? And if they don’t get green card in 6 months then they can still stay in usa while waiting for their green card ??? Or they have to leave after 6 months ?? Because on visitor you can only stay 6 months.

[@ahmadmigdady8719]

Add to this comment My mother has just arrived here, not sure if I could go ahead and submit the applications now or have to wait a little bit? Basically, what is the best time to send the applications if the parents are here?

[@krispetrov2440]

Great video!!! Much appreciated and well made to be honest. Most of the people are confused in general what the whole set of applications look like. Once you visualize that to people everyone gets what's needed and know how to organize their case/petition!!! KUDOS, Kseniya. Keep up the excellent work.

[@prathitshrestha4180]

Hi Kseniya, Thank you for lovely videos. This is my second question for you. I filed I-130 and received receipt but when I will get approval? Can you please answer my question?

[@felipeoliveira2219]

Kseniya, I'm gonna apply for my mom mid 2025, do you know how long it takes to get her social security card while she waits for the green card? do you have any idea? like 4 to 6 months?

[@roji8783]

Got a RFE for my mom's green card app but they are asking for marriage cert and proof of paternity. This my case worker mistook my mother's app for my father's who passed away many years ago. Waiting on my translation for their marriage cert and my father's death cert.

[@abelramos5695]

Thank you for sharing all this information ! I would like to ask you 2 questions: if a US Citizen living out of the US, files an I -130 for a parent but his/her parent lives in US and its working legaly (with some " gaps" between work permits). and have 40 crediits for the social security Administration.(10 years payimg taxes) His/her parent may apply for the I - 485. Sending an I-864w with the application ? Or the petitioner has to file also de I-864 at the same time during the AOS process? Question 2 : during the parent process of adjustment of status does the petitioner needs to have the address in US or be present in USA? This is in case you know about a case like this in the past. Not many people know about the I-864 W , since most of the applicant do not have 40 credits of SSA when they are doing the process or AOS. Thank you very much !

[@manuelsalgado8510]

The physical examination applies for everyone? Inside or outside the US?

[@vernamegalli8773]

What is the cost for the whole applications you mentioned, my mom is in USA now . Thank you for this great video .

[@philipsrachman796]

Do you have information with granted withholding remowal when they have kid sponsorship?

My parents visiting me at this time and I need to apply the green card for both of them, but we don’t have marriage certificates right now because they escaped the war in Sudan to the Egypt and they didn’t plan to come to me. Should I still apply for them because all the papers at their home are lost. ?!

[@itsmepete01]

So the process for adjustments of status are faster than parents who are in not in US. ?

[@NilIzmir35]

Can Concurrent Filing be made between the I-130 form that my US citizen son will submit and the I-485 form that we will submit? It says on Uscis's page that it can be done. What is the latest situation? Since my son is a student, he has a very limited income and tax return, but we can show enough bank accounts for him and for ourselves. Would this be enough?

[@PriscilaMussa]

Hi! Thanks for the info. My question is what kind of medical results didn’t pass in order to get the green card. Or they can’t denied by medical conditions. My mom has mental problems, and I’m afraid that would be one of the factors for denying it. Thanks!

[@sisaramunasinghe5956]

Hi how long after entering to USA I can send the petition for my parent?

[@ramon4789592]

Quick question: If the beneficiary had a social security when he went to school in an American university thru government exchange program (more than 40 years ago), he went back home and now , as the beneficiary in an I-130 parent petitions does he have to provide this old social security number in both I-130 and /or I-485?

Thank you for the detailed information, it is extremely helpful. I still have a question about the I-693. My Mother in law is in the States already and she came here on Humanitarian Parole and now is on TPS status. Anyways my wife is now a citizen and she is filing an I-130 for her. I know for my wife we had a medical exam from a USCIS approved civil surgeon. My mother in law did not need that or get that. The exam was mostly them looking at Immunization records and making sure she was current. Here is my Question, What if she did not need to go for exam to come and what if she does not have immunization records? Is the I-693 actually necessary? I hope you see this.

[@KseniyaInternational]
