I bought her a coffee (donation) and would encourage everybody to do so if you found an answer through her channel!! Kseniya: You are absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for all your videos! You literally answered all questions I had in mind. How can we be so lucky to have you!? 🙂
I promise, when I get to the US, I will present her and her family a nice gift.

You are definitely a lifesaver. You were so detailed with the much needed information. I literally watched your video and completed my I-130 form. Thank you very much. The world needs more people like you. God bless you.
This is true. I documented my timeline and submission for my concurrent filing DIY ruclips.net/video/vOankhPWqLA/видео.html
Hi Anthony James,I’m recently completing the form online as well I have one question my wife and I completed the form on my uscis account but it doesn’t let us submit it because my birthday shows up on the account. Does my wife need to make an account with uscis and fill out the form for her account?
Thanks for taking the time to create and upload all these videos, this channel helped me immensely throughout the whole process. Got approved last week, very smooth, borderline unexpected (~6 months from start to finish).
This small donation is nothing in comparison to the thousands of dollars you saved me in legal fees. God bless!
Thank you and congratulations!
Congratulations. As Kes has helped you can you please assist me? i just have few questions. I submitted my i-485 already can i send my medical to uscis to add the medical to my documents or do you think it wil affect it ?
@@austinisibor9910 I sent my medical right away with the rest of the paperwork, some lawyers advise to wait until interview and bring it in person or wait for a RFE notice and submit it, since it’s only valid for 6 months. I did my exam first week of March and i submitted my application on March 17 (official notice date from USCIS), got approved September 29th. In my case it was a bit over 6 months until decision (no interview) and I wasn’t asked to re-do the medical.
I have a friend who filed her paperwork along with the medical, after about 8 months she got a RFE notice and was asked to submit a fresh medical, once they received it she was approved, no interview.
I guess it varies from case to case, but I’m pretty sure you have the option to submit additional evidence or forms once your USCIS online profile is set up and linked to the case, if you want to you can go for it, I am not sure if it will effect the timeline though.
Good luck and if you have further questions let me know.
For an online wedding, the "place" of the wedding is the jurisdiction which certified and permanently recognized the wedding. If you got married under the laws of the state of UTAH the place of the wedding is Utah. If the officiant was standing in a Brazilian town square and performed the wedding remotely under the authority of the state of Utah, then the place of the wedding is still UTAH . If the Captain of a Canadian Cruise ship performs the wedding via Satellite on open water , the ship is Canadian and the wedding is verified by the country of CANADA, so the place is CANADA. Another way to think about it is to ask the most appropriate question. What courthouse holds the original wedding document? The officiant carries and represents the authority of the PLACE.
I am placing this information here since it is a convenient place do so and it seems like there is little knowledge on the subject.
Спасибо большое 👍🏿
SUPER ADVICE! I highly recommend Kseniya’s videos. Additionally, I paid for a one hour consultation and it was well worth it. Just educate yourself first and be ready with a list of question.
Your Instruction is concise and easy to follow and it helped me and my new wife a great deal. I appreciate all your effort to help people do this without hiring an attorney.
Words can not express how grateful I am that you posted this video. Thank you so so so much for this
This is unreal. This is the best walkthrough of any Visa document i've ever watched. Well done
At 28:33, this part must only be filled out if the beneficiary is currently in the US. If you are filing from abroad you have to leave this page blank, very important information I would add!
What if you are there at the time of filing but are returning home soon after?
Hi, what if the petitioner is currently in the USA and the beneficiary is outside usa ? What should they be doing?
@@poliagiannoulidis8129 did u figure it out?
Kseniya, I just want to say thank you for all of the videos you create! You can't begin to imagine how much they helped with the whole process. I recently went through the marriage based green card process and followed your videos step by step for each form and without these videos I wouldn't of known where to start. You made an extremely confusing process seem way more simple and easy.
Please keep making videos as I know you will help many more people like myself!
All the best for 2023!
Jack
This is true. I documented my timeline and submission for my concurrent filing DIY ruclips.net/video/vOankhPWqLA/видео.html
Additional question 🙋🏼♂️ 1) can you address the optional "Cover Letter?" Advantages, disadvantages, etc?
Also, a suggestion which may be slightly outside of the wheelhouse, however, if you could create a "How To" video of how to create a PDF document that you mentioned that would display all of the evidence photos in one document, I would have clicked the link and watched that video. 👍🏽
Thanks again 😊
I am filling I30 for my mum by watching this video. So much detail information helped me a lot. I hope I will see my mom soon. I will leave a comment after she arrives. God bless you ❤
The only video where I found the answers I was looking for!! Awesome. Thank you!
You are Amazing and incredible for this explanation, Actually you have saved my money by giving it to someone else who has been doing this for years and nothing has changed. Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
Great presentation- very thorough! And thoughtful tips too! I particularly appreciated the tips regarding the passport style 2x2 photo as well as the additional information portion. Thank you 🙏🏼
This women is a champion, I filed for my spouse , parent and kid and all of them got I-130 approved , i adore and just love this women , she has helped us so much.
Thank you so much for making this video! You have made such a stressful process so smooth and easy. I really appreciate it!
BTW, you channel is the best. I finally feel confident to go through this process on my own, you make it all seem manageable. ;)
Hi Seniya, I followed all your videos minutely while I submitted I-130, I-485,, I-765 and I-131. Your information is quite exhaustive and helped a lot. Thanks to your guidance very much. 👍
Hello friend did you submit your medicals with it ?
Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to guide us through the online I-130 application. You have helped me along with many countless others. As a RUclipsr myself, I enjoy making how to videos in order to help people. It look likes they changed the additional Evidence part of the form to Official Statement (Religious Record/Census etc).
Kseniya, thank you for such a detailed video. This is the most helpful tool I have found for filling out the I-130. Your time is so appreciated! Would you please answer these two questions:
1-Do you answer "YES" to EVER visiting the US if it was just as a tourist? And do you fill out the status part of how the beneficiary entered if this is the case and they are not currently in the US?
2-Do you include children who are older than 21 years of age under the beneficiary's family info?
Hi, Yes you have to answer if you've ever been in the US. However you do not have to provide information like "Class of admission" etc. because you are currently not here.
Yes you must include all children
@@KseniyaInternational Thank you SO much for responding! You truly care and that is so rare in today's world with things like this. Thank you, thank you!
Should you still put your passport number and expiration date for when you visited the US? Or just omit all of it and answer "Yes"?
@@ivanfigueiredo3683 I have the same question, Did you get a answer for that? Please share it with us 🙏🏻
Спасибо Ксюше за такое подробную информацию в новом видео. 👏👏👏 особая благодарность, что находишь время для записи видео! Для нас всех - это очень нужно и важно!
Wow im so glad i found your video. I was so confused filling out the form. Im so happy!!! God bless you for doing such great work and making lives easier
You are amazing! Best I-130 video I have seen. God bless you 🙏🏽
Hi, I got married recently, we were having doubts about filling out the I-130 and your video is amazing it's helping us a lot, I have a question I opened a uscis account in my name, but the form needs to be in my wife's name right ? Does she need to open an account or can she use my account for the form?
I’ve seen people be able to file on the beneficiary’s uscis account
Does for i-130a comes together with i-130 In the same form?
Hello. I have the same question. So the documents are for me, my husband is American, any of you know if I need to register in uscis to fill the forms or I can do under his account?
Hello Eduardo, im on your same situation, did you end up finding the right answer? Did you submit the forms on your account or did you created an account for your wife and filed the forms on her uscis account? Thank you in advance.
Hey Kseniya! Thank you for this helpful video!! I have a quick question. If I have already submit I-130 online, can I still assemble I-485 and other forms together and mail it to USCIS and have it considered as concurrent filing? I wasn't sure if I have to submit I-485 and I-130 both by mail to have it considered as concurrent filing.
Thanks in advance!
Hello, check out my video about concurrent filing and how it works
Yes, you can submit the I-130 online and file the I-485 by mail. The I-485 has a section to include your I-130 receipt number from the online filing. This is still considered concurrent filing. The section on the I-485 where you input this receipt number is Part 2 item 3.
Your advice are a blessing. Still confused in what to put in employment when I am a 71 year old retired person since 14 years ago!
You just write retired
i would like to say thank you for doing this, this is very helpful for us. May God bless you more. 🙌🏻
If I filled for my parents then do i have to download any pdf ? Can you please walk through whole process for parents and brother/ sister as well
Thank you, Kseniya! I prepared all of my documents by myself, using your videos, and my I-130 application was approved today! 🤩
Congrats! How long your process take?
Thank you Ms. Kseniya… a big hugs and thank you from us Filipina beneficiaries. God bless you.
Thank you so much for this video!! I’m doing my I 130 form while watching your video 💜💜🙏🏽
Thank you so much for making and uploading this video, this video really helps answering a lot of questions and also clarifying some common mistakes you could make while filling out online I-130.
Thank you for answering the question about the expired passport, that’s something I needed to know!
I used your video today 7/2024 and it's so helpful! Thank you so much
Thank you so much for taking the time to help us through each question. I was concerned about one of the questions but you helped clarify it. God bless you for taking the time to do this video! You just took some stress off my shoulders 🙏
Thank you so much for this important information When petition for your children in the section that asked where you and your spouse last live? Whose name should go there?
Absolutely amazing and helpful. Thank you. I have subscribed to your channel as a show of gratitude.
Thanks for showing how to file I-130 form correctly. I just submitted one for my family ❤
Bum 💣 right on my doub, thanks so much 🙏, I was struggling in the las part about additional evidence on religion, census and all that stuff, spending three days figuring it out with no much clues, now I know it's not necessary, thanks so much I just subscribed right away. 🥂
Amazing video, so many details. Thanks for sharing this video.
This video is 5 stars! she is very detailed
Thank you so much for explaining the evidence part 🙏🏼. U literally saved me.
Thank you so much for very useful video keep it up you helping a lot people I am one them🙏.
Ksenya ! The best explained ,.…..loving in you ! Thanks again.
Thank you so much for your help! After looking this video,I have decided to file my application to my wife by myself. Thanks again🙏
kseniya, Thank you so much for making this detailed video. It help me to file my petition on my own. I watch this and few other video that is very helpful.Thank you so so much. Lots of love❤❤ ❤❤ .
The best I've seen so far . 🎉
Thank you so much for sharing this information in such a detailed video. It is soooo helpful🙏🏽
Thank you so much ! it is very well explained . appreciate you time !
Kseniya, I hope you don't mind one more quick question :). We're at the tail end of filling out the i-130 but in the review portion, it's giving us a red flag (hard stop, can't proceed further) because it says there are inconsistencies with the beneficiary's address. But, we've triple checked and they are correct. Have you heard of glitches in this regard?. And, secondly my American husband and I live in Canada. So, on the i-130, is the petitioner supposed to put an American mailing address for himself? I know that doesn't sound logical but someone told me that is correct. I have tried the form with various address combinations to see where the error is, but cannot figure it out.
I’m actually having the same issue and want to signal boost this, no idea what’s going wrong with my application
@@blanyeeast2928 I haven't had a chance to call USCIS yet. I hope Kseniya sees these comments. I'm really stuck and I'm not sure USCIS will help.
could you send a screenshot to my email
Thank you so much for your effort 🙏❤️️. This video really helpful.
Thank you! This was very helpful and I appreciate your assistance.
I was able to complete the entire application for a relative in a day .
further comment to below, our common address is in Australia, the program does not seem to handle when both parties are at the same address and that address is not in the US... Pamela
Thank you Ksenia, extremely helpful.
Absolutely perfect! Love it. Can you let us know how we configure out that which service center it would go to?
Thanks so much ,think I will do my kids application myself ,the lawyer fee is a lot
omg!! just discovered this!!! im actually filling this out now!!! ❤ i want my filipina wife with me here in USA 🇺🇸
Really very thoroughly explained. Thanks to you Kseniya!
You are absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for all your help
Hi Kseniya, thank you for posting this video! A few questions:
1) If my spouse submits the form I-130, online from his USCIS account, can we still do concurrent filing? If so, how can we do it?
2) From which account do we have to file the form I-485 online if we’re doing concurrent filing?
3) Is it better to do online or paper filing if we decide to do concurrent filling? Would processing times be different?
Thank you again for your videos!
Not all uscis forms allow online filing, for example form i -485 is not yet open for online filing. Therefore, for concurrent filing, you may file form i-130 online.. and paper file form i-485. Thank you.
Does anyone keep going in circles when clicking the "file online" link? Everytime I am in the "I-130, Petition for Alien Relative" page, I click on the blue "file online" button that is the link. It always keeps sending me to "Submit a FOIA or PA Request" page.
Best presentation I’ve seen since I decided to bring my mother from Cuba.
But I have a question: For the case of my Mom, the only proof requested related to her is my Birth Certificate, not even her Birth Certificate. It’s that ok, or am I missing something?
Thanks
Yes that’s all that’s required at this stage. See form I-130 instructions
Great video congratulations. You are a great professional advisor. thank you, thank you
You're doing great job. my warmest thanks.
Good luck.
Thank you for your very informative video. It really helps me and my husband.
Thank you so much for your videos. I'm hoping you may be able to answer a question, if you've come across this situation before. I am the petitioner and I work on a civilian contract in Iraq. I met my husband here and we were married in Erbil, Iraq. I own a home in Arizona, and I go there 2-3 times a year. I work on an Iraqi air force base and am not permitted to leave the base unless I am going out of country for vacation. My husband works on the base (which is how we met) and he has a home just outside the base. He stays with me on base 3-4 days a week. I'm wondering 2 things: 1. Is my home considered Arizona or Iraq in this situation? 2. If my home is considered Arizona, then obviously I wouldn't state that he lives with me. If, however, it's considered Iraq, would I state that he lives with me on the base? This part is confusing to me.
Thank you for the Video about I-130 Application . it is so help full.
she deserve something
she is clearly an expert.
thanks a lot.
In the name ofJesus, I declare prosperity in your life and all your generation.
Amen
Thank you for your blessings 🙏🏼
Great job. Super helpful and detailed, Thank you!!
thanks leaving your like right away . one question after filling the online form as you did . . do we need also to fill the paper version of Form I-130 PDF ?
No you do not, that defeats the purpose of online filing. Thanks!
Trying to do this for my father rn so he can continue to work after so many years in the us. Would love donations didn’t know it was that much
Thank you so much!!! your video is very helpful! excellent guide!
OK, fixed it, I blanked out address for where we lived together - don't know why that works, but it does,,,
In the part when you upload evidence you only made an example for spouse , can you make an example for the parents petition?
Thank you for breaking this down!
Thank you so much for explain in details. Last page i missed understood almost did DNA test.
I noticed that you're filling out most of the fields in all capital letters, is that something you specifically recommend? Sorry if I missed it in the video, this has been super helpful so far though!
That’s just my preference, USCIS allows both capitals and non capitals
Hi! I have a question about section: Your Beneficiary: immigration information:
1) what was the beneficiary's class of admission?
2) when does the beneficiary authorized stay expire?.
I entered the US on a B2 tourist visa, so the expiration date of my I-94 was January 2024. During that time, I applied for an E2 investor visa and received a new I-94 valid until September 2025.
My question is, what I spouse to answer about the 2 questions above? and what I-94 number should I fill out?
I ask because they inquire about the type of visa I entered the US with and the validity I was given. However, if I write the date from my visitor visa, it appears as though I've passed my expiration date... How, where I can add that I am currently on a different type of visa with a different validity?
Thanks!
When you fill out for your spouse and children, do you got a pay separate fees for both I130 and if kid is not your kid only spouse. 😅
See form instructions on page 1. US citizens must file a separate application for each, including stepchildren
Thank you so much for explaining the online filing process. However, I want to know if I need to still upload the petitioner and Beneficiary signature as you said in your previous video.
Thanks so much for this explicit video of the application process. For previously filled petition under "Other information", what if you cannot find or remember the date you petitioned for a relative in the past, or have filled multiple petitions, what do you do in that situation?
My payment was received but it said the submission could not be completed. Have you ever seen similar issues?
I Have the same Question.
I think they were updating their system around the April 25-30 timeframe because whenever I log in to update it would give the error: We were unable to retrieve your form. I tried using another browser and also creating a new account. I spent so many hours on this and now have to start all over. I even tweeted and tried calling USCIS but no help from them. Has anybody encountered the same issue? I do see now the online form has changed a little so they definitely were in the process of changing something.
Proud of you very useful info .great RUclips channel
Should I include the years we lived together before we got married in 'the lived together'?
You need to include the most recent time when you and your now spouse lived together, married or not
We have been together for 16 years. We lived together for 8 years (2007-2015) before his petition was approved. After that, he only takes a vacation of 3-4 months. We were only married in April 2023.
it's the most helpful Video from all videos in youtube 😍
Hi Kseniya! Thanks for all the great work you are doing for everyone on this channel. Just a quick question if don't mind: my mom applies for me under adult daughter category. The online form automatically lists evidences of end of prior marriage for both her and her current husband in the Evidence Attachments section. Is this type of evidence needed for parent-child petition category or should be skipped in our case?
I'm filing an I-130 petition for both parents (believe this needs to be done separately). At the end of the form for the 1st parent, I'll be answering "Yes" to the question "Are you submitting separate petitions for other relatives?"
The next question is "What is your relationship to this relative?"
Should I be answering with "child" or "parent"? Are they asking who I am or who they are to me (parent)?
I have the same question, aslo is that mean we use one account to file for both parents? I already have one when I apply for naturalization
Either is acceptable
You are amazing thank you for explaining it in such a simple/easy way I was so confused with the part about sending religious, school, and census documents I thought those are compulsory to send.
Me too
Thank you for the video! Question - what is the benefit of filing I 130 online and filing 485 by mail? Thank you!!
for the question "Have you EVER previously filed for this beneficiary or any other alien", does it refer to i-130's or can it be i-129fs?
Any petition including I-129.
Excellent Guide! save me tons of time
Thank you for the helpful information; I have a quick query regarding employment. For the past few years, I've worked as an Uber driver, so for the employee information, should I list myself as an independent contractor or UBER INC? What about the address if I list myself as an independent contractor?
This was super helpful - thank you so much!
At 23:20 - One question, what if the beneficiary doesn't have an address in the US that they intend to live at? Meaning, they're outside of the US currently and they don't know what address they'll live in once they move to the US.
Please do one for "Spouse"
Thank you for this information it is very helpful so far but I have a question. At 28:30 you get to the portion where the petition asks what was the beneficiaries class of admission. But in our case my spouse has never been admitted to visit the United States so I would assume that I leave that part blank. Am I right about that? Because with everything else you would give us other options. But this time you never gave us the option of leaving it blank if it doesn't apply. But the petition does say What 'WAS' the beneficiaries class of admission. And in this case I'm not sure that I will be prompted this question because of my previous answers to questions.
Thank you for the information, This video is extremely helpful just a quick question:
In the section "where have you lived during the last 5 years? Do I have to put them in there original language?
Thank you in advance.
Thank you very much! You are very detailed 🥳
Ksenia, thank you so much for a guide. 😊 I have been in this USA many years ago, now I live outside the USA. Should I in indicate my current passport or that one that expired many years ago in the Beneficiary's immigration section? Thank you for you answer.
I'm trying to upload my evidences in pdf. I also tried in jpg. But it gives an error message, saying it can't upload. My file is under 12MB.
