[@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 😊

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. 😊

[@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.

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.

[@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 ❤

[@SandraOpal-me7sg]

A lot of people waste money on lawyers for this process - that can be done on their own. Thank you for helping other - and helping them to save money. 😊🙏🏽

[@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.

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!!

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

[@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?

Thanks for sharing!!! Questions: I am applying the green card for my mom, and do i need to create a new account in USCIS to file? (I already have an account for my own case). Thank you!

[@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 !

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.

Do you think they’ll still require him to do biometrics for his green card? He just applied for adjustment of status. Thanks so much for these videos!!! You are such a blessing to so many people.
