Hello Experts and fellow friends.

I am a US citizen since last yr.
I am going to file a petition for my mother and my brother.
I just looked up the fees .they have almost doubled the petition fees.Is that true? $355 per person.
Secondly: I have a few questions for my mother's petition work as my dad passed three yrs ago.Pls suggest as per ur expertise.
Pls refer to the form I-130 for the relevant items.

Items #1,#20: What name should I use in the petition?My mom had added her last name on her passport as Gurdeep Kaur Mann where as on my Birth Certificate her name is Gurdeep kaur.

#8: Date and place of present marriage ?? what if she is widowed ? what information to fill in for this?

#11,#12: Name of Prior Husband ;Date of marriage ended ?
How do I answer this for a deceased parent ? My mom is widowed ,not divorced?

#17: List Husband /wife and all children:
Does ths have to include my deceased father's information,as well all of my siblings as well as me?

Thanks for your input!

For ur convenience .I have inserted the link to the form I-130 for the questioned items.
