Mom Dead. Father has no Marriage Cert.

[Workset]

I'm a US Citizen. My mother just passed away. So, I'm planning to bring my father here and process his GC while he's in the US (I think I can send I-130 and I-485 together alongwith the affidavit of support).

We have a notarized affidavit that both my parents executed a few years back, in India. It was not executed in front of a magistrate but they both state that they are married. Will that work?

Any other tips? [BTW, we'll be applying in Texas].

TIA.

read the forum a little bit more and pay attention. while you can bring your father here on a visitor visa and then apply for a GC, there is a RISK.
