Thank you Kseniya! people like you make youtube still be a great place to find important information that cannot be found not even on official websites
Kseniya, Thank you for sharing your knowledge, understanding and experience about immigration forms.
Following your videos I filed out the I-130 and I-485 for my mother in law, your videos and all the content you have was critical for me in order not to make mistakes, thank you again and I wish you the best!
@@valerioromero3713 hi, i am also trying to file for my mother in law, can you help me please?
EXCELLENT explanation. You are definitely saving a lot of attorney fees!!! for straight forward case. Appreciate and Commend you for this Video.
Thank you for making it so easy. Besides, your voice has a calming effect which also helps to understand the complicated forms and processes of the USCIS. People who spread knowledge freely, like yourself, are what makes the world go round smoothly. May you get rewarded from where you don't expect.
Спасибо огромное, Ксения! Это реально большая помощь в заполнении форм для наших родителей! Премного благодарна!!!
You are the best! I will recommend your channel to my social network
Thank you for taking time to put out these videos. Very Helpful!
Thank you for the guideline. Wondering for the question `Have you EVER previously filed a petition for this beneficiary or any other alien?`
If it's my first time applying for my parents, should one of the I130 answer `YES` and the other one answer `No` for this question?
thank you so much for this video! I'm petitioning for my spouse and hope soon she will get approved with no issues
Thank you. I just corrected few mistakes on the I-130 and submitted it.
Thanks you so much , this video help me to do the I-130 for my mom ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks SO SO much to help me do this form, and help everyone else as well. I almost finish it, GOD BLESSED YOU 🙏
What if the parents have a 13-year-old kid? do they have to leave their kid behind if they are approved for the visa? and how if the parents have two petitioners (Brothers) in the US, is there any way to combine their petitions in one application?
Thanks.
Long time due video! Thank you!
Hi Kseniya, thank you very much for making these videos. I love how detailed and clear your instructions are! I have a question: I'm filing I-130 for both my parents. My dad's petition asks to upload parents' marriage certificate, but my mom's petition does not. Is there something wrong or does the system just figure out these 2 beneficiaries are married and only need marriage cert on one petition?
It helped a lot. Thank you so much! I should've found your video before. It could've saved lots of my time.
Спасибо вам огромное! Ваш труд бесценнен!
Thanks Kseniya! This video is super helpful!
Thanks for sharing this information helped a lot
You are the best! Thank you so much! It really helps :)
Thank you Kseniya. This Video & explanations are amazing THANK YOU!
Thanks so much! This is so detail and so helpful!
Thanks so much for this information .
Thank you very much for this video. Very self explanatory and absolutely helpful.
Thank you Ksenia. This is super helpful !!!
Hi Kseniya, I hope everything is well with you and thank you so much for very informative video you’ve shared to us. I have a question on I-130 for parents. I have submitted my petitions to USCIS for both of my parents however I forgot to add my name as one of their children on “beneficiary’s family”. I just realized it now that I should have put my name too together with my two siblings. Is there any way to correct it or add my name on it or should I wait for the USCIS if they requires/ask for it? Thank you so much! 😊
Thanks for your very helpful videos! Have a great day
Hey Kseniya! Thank you so much for the walk through. I will be getting my green card first then petitioning my children, from listening to your video do I need to petition them first THEN do an adjustment of status for them?
Thanks for the video, it was very in-depth. If you filing for a parent and a brother can one use the same form?
Thank you so much you're the greatest ! ❤
Great video, like all Ksu does! Thank you for the useful information!
thank you for this video!
I wonder if im divorced, and filing for my mom. Do i need to fill up where it says "where did you and your spouse lived" ?
Hi Kseniya, thanks for all your videos! Do I need to submit any passport size photos with online I-130 for my parents? Information all over internet are very confusing. Thanks! Eva
@@evakovar9514 you do not
@@KseniyaInternational Thank you!
You are awesome!!! Great walk-through
Thanks!
What should be my answer here: what USCIS will the beneficiary be filling for adjustment of status? We are in NC USA.
Thank you so much kseniya.
When petitioning for parents who are already in the US is there a way to add on Minor siblings 14 and under?
Thank you for your very helpful video. Can you help me with those questions that I am still confused.
1. If the beneficiary lives outside the US in a home-> They visit us, not live in the USA, so why it is US address not their home land address?)
3.Have you ever previously filed a petition for this beneficiary or any other alien? I fill out the form I130 for my mom and Dad, and will submit the same time ( the first time for them) and I never filled out for anyone. I click yes or no? I think no, but I am not sure.
Thank you so so much for your time!
Thank you so much for your videos!
Should the petitioner create a USCIS account to file and submit the I-130? Or can I use my USCIS account as the beneficiary parent ? Thank you
Has anyone achieved your goal of making a parent a us citizen / green card holder
I wanna know before knowing if a should start the process
Can a US citizen son, just turned 21, filed for a petition for his parents, and he is unemployed, but looking for a job or in school. What are the options...
Hi! I just filed a petition for my minor kids yesterday, and I think I made a mistake by skipping the part where they are asking for my employment history. I've put on unemployed on the first child but skipped that part when I was doing it for my 2nd child. 😢 Initially I thought it should be fine because it isn't marked with asterisk but now I'm worried knowing I've made a mistake. To be honest, I was rushing because I was doing childcare to my babies. Please don't judge me and please advice me on what should I do to correct that.
Thank you for the video, the step by steps are amazing! - Quick question, my mother is here with the I-134A do I need to file any other forms beside the I-130 to get her residency?
For the question "Where have you worked in the last 5 years?" what should I do if I had a gap in my employment? For example, I worked from March 2024 to the present, but I was not working in January and February. Before January, I was employed at a different job. The reason for not working in January and February was that I had to go to my home country and leave my current job, but I started another job in March 2024. What do i do for that gap?
@@SoniLavanda you can indicate those gaps
when filling online for parents who live abroad. The one confusing question I am stuck at is - Do we need to attach any photos of beneficiary or their birth certificates?
Thank you so much for this video 🙏🤗
If I file the I-130 online, which office should I mail the I-485 form to? How do I know both forms are going to the same USCIS office?
Well and Clearly Explained ! Thank you so much. Bravo !
Could you please fill out the latest I-130 form, which is different from the online version? I feel like most people are using it and it would be beneficial for them to increase their confidence. Thank you for taking the time to fill out the online form. It is very helpful to me. God bless you!
You got it!
Hi @kseniyainternational. Thanks so much for your efforts and thorough explanation. I’ve always been nervous to start this process but your videos have given me the courage to begin just like you say at the beginning of your video, “ to enable us do this ourselves”. QUESTION: My parents have been married before I was born and still married, but from my country, marriage certificate is not such a big deal so they don’t have it. But because I have to start this process, I asked them to get a marriage certificate which they did but the certificate has been dated for the time they showed up for the certificate which was December 2023 which is recently. I’m 26 and not sure if that’ll be an issue because I think I saw somewhere that it says if parents are married before you turn 18. They were but just didn’t have a cert then. Please from that knowledge you have about this processes, what do you think it should be. Will it work for the application or not. For the current certificate they have. THANK YOU.
Kseniya, Thank you amazing video. I do have a question. Can I use my USA driver license as proof of name change and my country' of birth original passport?
I filed for my Mom in March or 2023 I log into account and it says taking longer than expected how long does the process take???
Hi! Same for me. I filed on June and it shows that. Did you receive any updates?
@@megg7040 yes I finally got the i130 approved no just waiting for NVC
What state are you in?
@@irinaochirova3935 Maryland
My parents are still
Outside the U.S ..Can I just do online application or through mail? Which is best ?
La verdad es un excelente vídeo y mucha información. Muchas gracias.
Si pudieras hacer un vídeo de la petición de un Hermano hacia otro hermano que está Casado y quiere traer a los EEUU 🇺🇸 a su hermano y cuñada juntos. Te lo agradecería muchísimo. ❤❤❤
I hope you can make a video for it. Thanks for having the time to read my post
Hi there, and thanks ao much for all the great detail. I have two questions: when applying for both parents, how do we make sure the two applications are linked so there won't be any time lag between the two upcoming counselor interviews? Also, is there a need to fill out the I130 in both English and the native language of the beneficiery? If yes, will there be two copies of the application for each beneficiery, one in English and one in their native language?
Thanks again!
i am petition for my Father using i-130 but USCIS is asking me to provide my Parent's marriage certificate ask me to
Upload a copy of your parents' marriage certificate establishing that your father was married to your mother. If either your mother or father were previously married, submit copies of documents showing that each of the prior marriages was legally terminated should i live it blank
what happen when the i-130 gets approved for my mom living outside the US?
Hello Kseniya, after watching this video I could not find the response regarding what to do with the second beneficiary. For example: I am applying for my mom and stepdad. The section where I entered that I am Petitioning to someone else will be enough for the USCIS to link both applications together? YOU are amazing, thank you for taking time to make these videos. Incredibly helpful. GOD bless you!! ❤
Hello, no. you must file a separate I-130 petition for each parent. :)
Hi Kseniya, thank you so much for the information that you provide. I feel confident to apply for my mother's green card.
I applied online for the I130 in July last year. I did not send the I485 yet because I'm waiting for the approval of the I130 but it is taking so long now, more than I expected. My question is should I send the I485 on paper now or should I continue to be waiting for the I130 to be approved first? Do you have any idea why it is taking so long? Maybe it is because I did not send everything on paper version?
Where is your mother residing?
She is in US territory, TN State.@@KseniyaInternational
@@lucienecampos233 it’s probably taking so long because you didn’t file I-485 together with I-130. One can send I-485 at any time while the I-130 is pending if they’re eligible for adjustment of status.
Thank you so much for your answer. I believe you have a video on how to find an office so I can send the I485 and the rest of the necessary proofs. Could you be so kind and point me to the video with some tips on how to find the address to this office? @@KseniyaInternational
@@lucienecampos233 czcams.com/users/shorts3PHLJGgedf4?si=NumowClWekRO2OE2
I saw your full video, but I want to double check how we are going upload beneficiary documents. Do we need them at the time of filing petition?
What if parents don’t have marriage contract
Hi Kseniya, Thank you for all the videos, they are really helpful. I have a question. I am filling I-130 for my spouse and child. on my spouse's I-130 there is a part "Are you submitting separate petitions for other relatives?" and " What is your relationship to this relative?", As I am to fill another I-130 for my child, I am not sure what to answer do I answer PARENT or CHILD. Thank you again for your help and wish you the best.
Thanks for the video, but there are sections that are still unclear based on your explanation. For example, if one parent is a step parent, then for the relationship to beneficiary, there is only one selection stating "stepchild or stepparent" which doesn't make sense if only one parent is a step parent. Also, what if you are self-employed?
You have to fill out a separate form for each
How about when you as a daughter who applied petition for your parents but didn’t work for a year and my husband is the one who will sponsor my parents? Thank you
So for part 4 12a-12d they will live with us but not where we live now and by time they get here we have no idea where we will live. So what do we put in this case?
Hi Kseniya! Thank you for this video, it gave me a lot of confidence in filling up the I130 form. I just have a question, is there a rule of thumb when you should apply for I130 for your parents while they are here visiting? I'm asking this because of the price increase for filing I130 and I485. Thank you again for the information you share to us.
There is no rule for immediate family member.
What happens if our daughter start process online and finishes all things and suddenly decides to do it in personal with representative, lawyer?
Hi kseniya , I need your guidance asap please, I took mom for the medical exam yesterday and they ask me for her vaccinations record, I provided them with her 2 shots of Covid document only , I don’t have her other vaccinations documents everything is back home so they ask me for at least 4 vaccinations .
The question is can I get her those vaccines documents from back home where she has her primary care doctor and medical history, I don’t want to put her in any risk for making her receiving those vaccines twice she is over 80 she just got here to the USA 3 months ago and I’m trying to adjust her status.
I will really appreciate your response or any other advices from anyone who’s been in same situation as me .
Thank you for the video! Question for Part 5 prior petition. If I previously filed 140 including my spouse and children, should I answer Yes to the question of Have you ever filed a petition for other aliens? I never filed 130 in the past. Thank you.
@@liushuang3686 do you mean somebody filed an employment based petition for you in the past?
@@KseniyaInternational I filed I-140 for myself, which is employment based green card.
@@KseniyaInternational hi) same question my wife us citizen she apply for before her friend I-134 A and she married before me but she didnt filled shes ex husband's attorney did (I-130) so now we feeling up for us should we say for part 5 yes ? or no ?
How do you prove a common law marriage when there was no marriage cert. My parents were married locally and traditionally. It was a verbal marriage and there was no documented proof of marriage. But she she changed her last name to my father's name in my birth cert.
I don't know how to continue this I-130 form without this piece of evidence
Do you have a video for the STEP PARENT of an over 21 foriegner to bring to the USA via I-130? I just spoke to USCIS and they say I can't fill out I-130, only the biological mother can do this. Though married, the mother is not a US citizen yet and USCIS says this will take 2 years, minimum to achieve citizenship before she can even apply.
There has to be a faster way.
Hi I’m also going though the same thing. From my understanding, if you are a US citizen u can file for your step parent as long as they got married before u turned 18 and u have their marriage certificate as evidence
Can someone please give me information that I need to file i 43:15 130 for my parents for do I need to fill out the form separately for them?
Subscribed- do both parents have to be working? My daughter is filling the I-130 for us , I have always worked to sustain my family, but my wife is a stay at home mom, will that affect both of us? Do we need sponsors even tho I work for both of us? Thank you so much
@@manuelsalgado8510 no a beneficiary is not required to be employed. The petitioner will sign the affidavit of support for that reason
@@KseniyaInternational again you are a sweet heart, so what about in the case of my daughter who is just turning 21 and in college and only works part time, can I use my 40 credits for both my wife and I or only for me? Do you recommend filling 1 I-130 first and wait until I have my green card and then file for my wife? And maybe I can sponsor her ? Your thoughts?
Hi, Kseniya! Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation! I have a question about the benefitiary's passport. In my case, he's passport is about to expire, but the renewal appointment is scheduled already two weeks after the expiration. Should I leave the this question blank? Or would it be better to wait to get the new passport? Thank you for your help!❤
Is the beneficiary applying for adjustment of status or consular?
I would like to file for residency for my relatives. I have grandkids, too. My question is, should I file Form I-130 for my grandkids as well?
Thanks for your help!
My Question is: Can I send my package i-485 to immigration. While the i-130 is pending?
* I'm US. Citizen 😊
Thank you 🙏🏾
Hello .. in the section where it asks if you want to sponsre addituonal parent you indicated the father relashinship to you as a child not a parent ..is that correct ?
I'm filing for my kids to get their residence in the U.S. Some of them are here with me, and a few are back home. I have grandkids; some are under 18 years old, and some live here in the U.S. Should I file Form I-130 for my each of my grandkids, too, because I want them to get their residence at the same time?
I do have a question about the "Proof of legal name change" ( @ 39:15 ). My name has always been the same, so I do not need to provide any proof on my behalf, but as my parent had obviously changed their name at the time of getting married, and all relevant documents are in their married legal name, do I still need to provide proof of their name change (ex. marriage certificate) ?
As you stated @ 40:25 the previous 3 evidence sections are required to submit, but I was going to leave the "Proof of legal name change" blank. How should I proceed?
p.s. Thank you very much for making this video! It is very informative!
It says in the evidence “if you or the person you’re applying for changed their name” so it means you still have to provide it
Please reply !! I just filed for my parents . Do I have to
File two
Different i130 online !! In your video you have mentioned , that we can include the dad or mom as another beneficiary in the same application? I am
Confused ? Do I file separate or one is enough ?

Hi, what if my father is visiting with a tourist visa that allows him to be 6 months in the US. Meanwhile we are still in the waiting process for 8 months already. So part of the question is what if the decision is still pending but his 6 months of staying as tourist are almost done?
Hey! I want to know too. Did you already sent the i130? Because she has another video explaining that you can fill out also the form for status adjustment
When submitting I-130 for my adopted son, I don't have passport photo of my son and longtime not seen him, so can I submit the i130 by mail to uscis without including his photo?

Are middle names or second last names required?
Hi Kseniya, my parents came into US as B2. The expiration date is December 2023. I applied extension for them and we received notification letter for processing. But I did not upload the letter to the application online. Would that be problem and it got rejected? Do I need to file I-601? Thank you for sharing these information to help all of us and people like us would like to do things on our own.
hello dear Kseniya, I have a question, how to fill "Where was the petition filed?" if I have filed for some one else? Laguna Niguel CA will work? thanks
Thank for your video. One question what if there address change after I submit application ?
The box that ask where we intend to file if they are in the US, If we live in a city where there is no USCIS office do i just write the closest office in the next town?
@@rheacademia9772 yes
So I have a couple questions, how long does the i130 last for parents.
Will they have to renew their green card after 10 years?
Also, can they apply for citizenship once they have their i130 visa, and if so, how long until they can apply to become a citizen?
