I am to frustrated at our immigration system today. I was reappeal my petition for mykids and wife after california service center denied my application. They also sent me a form eoir and ask fro a minimal evidence like the proof o f my citizenship our marriage contract and the kids brth certificate. After more than five months havent heared anything from them. This is long time of waiting and i thought when you are a us citizen it is gonna be easy to bring your family here, it been a year now since i first file the application and been 5 months and 3 weeks now since i recieved the letter from uscis the reciept. I use this reciept to check the status of the cases. But nothing happened after more than 5 moths still in initial review. Is there anyone here had same situation like mine? Im tired of waiting and checking this case at the uscis website. It seem to me that nothing is gonna happen. Need help... Or any kind of advise
Your post is a little confusing.
You filed how many I-130s and for whom?
If you are a USC, are your children USCs or did you just naturalize? IF you had filed while still with a greencard, then the spouse and children were all on ONE I-130. A USC MUST file individual petitions for spouse and each non-USC child.
What was denied and when and what was the reason?
An I-130 is appealled to the BIA and costs $110 BUT filing a new I-130 or a Motion to USCIS costs more.
If you provide a timeline and greater detail, perhaps you can get some help here.
What was the reason for denial? Are the children yours? Or are they your wifes kids from a prior relationship? If theyre yours (biologically), were you a US citizen at the time when they were born?
If you are a naturalized citizen, did you get your own GC via marriage?
the kids are mine. i have four kids in a same mother. i didnt get my green card by marriage. my mom and dad petition me and i was here inad living in U.S for 10 years. I get my US Citizenship 3 years ago. the reason for denial of their I-130 is i was failed to established a proof of relationship with my kids and for my wife. the california service center needed a minamal reuirement from me to proof that i am the real father of this kids by means of thier birth certificate and me and my wifes marriage contarct. i already submitted that august 16 of 2010 together with form eoir-29 or the appelalled to BIA and costme 110 each form. so from august 2010 up to present i did hear anything from uscis. it take a long time of waiting. i thought its only 5 months of waiting nd they will give the result. but it is almost 6 months like two more week and its 6 months. everytime i check the case status it is always at initial review.
I-130 re-appeal
