Filing I-130 for Parents

[Tom and Ling]

Hi Everyone,

 

I am inquiring for some one in the North Carolina area.

 

Her question was,,"Do I have to apply for my father and mother separately or one form for two people?

 

This I was not sure of because I filed two separate I-130 for my two step-sons,however, for filing for parents it might be different,,so let me know whether two separate I-130's or one???

 

After reading the instructions..I appears that an I-130 needs to be filed for each of the parents.

 

let me know if this is correct. I am assuming she is a US Citizen.

Yes, you are correct. An I-130 is for one person only

One for each, and also parents don't need G-325A either.

Hi Dan,

Because the I-130 directions specifically states that G-325A is only needed for spousal visas.
