USCIS may request biometrics information from any applicant, sponsor, or petitioner. After your file your I, you will receive Form IC from USCIS, which will let you know if your petition has been approved, rejected, or if you need to provide more information. If your I has been approved, this form will also include an appointment notice with a date, time, and location for an appointment to provide biometrics information at your closest application support center.
What happens if my Form I is denied? There are many reasons why an application may be denied. If you believe your I was unfairly denied, you may be able to appeal to a separate body, the Administrative Appeals Office AAO , within 30 days from when the notice was sent not from when the notice was received. How can I check my I case status? You can track the processing of your case online using your digit case receipt number , which can be found on any notification letter sent by USCIS.
Will I need an interview for my I? For most people petitioning with I, USCIS will invite the sponsor and the relative seeking a green card to attend an interview. You also may not need an interview if you are a permanent resident and you are petitioning for any of your children who are younger than 14 years old.
What if I am missing some of the documents for my I? If you do not have one of the primary documents required, such as a birth certificate, then you will need to submit a letter from the relevant authorities to confirm that this document does not exist.
However, there is also a chance that officials may deny an I petition if some supporting documents are missing. Will my relative be able to work after Form I is filed? The I is a petition to help a relative apply for a green card, and does not give the right to work.
Can I file I and I together? If you file Form I and your relative is in the United States already, you may be able to file Form I together.
This process is called concurrent filing. They will also be considered as filed concurrently if you have filed Form I either online or via mail, and it is still pending when your relative files Form I to adjust their status.
Generally, if your relative is not already in the United States, you will not be able to file to adjust status at the same time, since immigrant visas are dealt with by the Department of State.
Will my relative be able to travel on an I? If they cannot prove this, they may be denied entry. Will Form I still be approved if either myself or my relative has a criminal record?
