You have to petition them first before filing for AOS. You should call the USCIS office and ask for advice. [/color]

Wrong. The I-130 petition should be filed in the same package with the AOS and sent to the Lockbox together.

Oh sorry.. I posted another message stating that they can file I-130 and I-485 concurrently.. But if you guys have some questions regarding immigration you can call USCIS office any time..

Filed N-400 (Arizona Lockbox) - July 10, 2014

NOA received - July 22, 2014

Biometrics - August 8, 2014

In line for interview scheduling - August 12, 2014

sure the 1-800 help line is always there to help you.... just remember they are wrong more times than they are correct. That is why they get called "the miss information Line"

I agree with that entirely. When I have to ask them something, and I usualy try to ask here first, but when I do have to speak with THEM. I call three times, describe my situation three times, and ask my question three times. IF I get the same answer all three times, then I feel a little bit better (but not as good as when I ask here, and here, I fell confident enough to ask only once.)

When I first starter to call USCIS, I believed that they were "immigration expert" and that they knew their forms and regulations in and out. But that's not true. Of all the people I've spoke to there, only one person was knowledgeable and pleasant. The rest were rude and ignorant about almost every facet of immigration. I even had one person tell me that the AoS was the wrong way to go and that I might have to leave the contry (after having a 2.5 year overstay... no. You would have to drag me out)

Bottom line. VJ is better than USCIS customer service. :devil:

You can file the I130, I485 at the same time. File the working permit and travel document and its free as long as you file the I130 and I485 concurrently.

Believe me.. this is what i did for my parents.. Use an attorney if your not confident in filing yourself. Don't believe these amateur attornies in this blog site.. half of them don't know what they are talking about.

Good Luck
