IR5 US entry date extension
I need some help if anyone has this information. My mom and dad both applied for IR5 while in India. My mom has received the immigrant visa with a validity to enter US but my dad’s interview date fir Mumbai hasn’t come in yet. Since they can only travel together, I need to extend my mom’s US entry date. How should I go about that? Any experience/information will be super appreciated

I-130 Online for parents but online forms did not ask for 2x2 Photo
Today I filed an I-130 form for both parents. Filing online forms makes the process much smoother. The only thing is that the online form did not ask for 2x2 inch photo. Has anybody experienced same?

File change of status after B1/B2 expired and GC in process
I filed my mom's GC application Aug 2021 and she travelled to US in Dec 2021 and went back Mar-2022. Her visitor visa expired in sep-2022. Is there a way for her to travel to the US, her GC application is still in process and we are waiting for the next stage of biometrics appointment?
Can we file a change in status while she's in india and can she travel based on that?

221(g) - IR5 Green card Interview at Mumbai Consulate
Hello,

My dad had an interview scheduled at 7:30AM yesterday that is, 10/14 at Mumbai Consulate. All the documents were in the order, not one missed. After the interview, he was given a white 221(g) letter stating incomplete, hence refused but they kept all the documents including the passport. Has anyone experienced as my dad did?
This is heart breaking. Just like everyone of you, we spent so much time in preparing the documents, and following the process laid out for each of us, the outcome of my dad's, I felt such a defeat by the immigration system.

Any information you may know or something your family has faced if you could share that, I greatly appreciate that, and I am hoping that all of your family united at the end.
