Hi everybody!

I am an new member here.Really need you advice.

I have F-1 visa,and got married last fall.My spouse is an American citizen.Finally,all our documents for AOS are ready.So,today/tomorrow we are going mail them to USCIS.But right now, we have two diffrent opinions with my spouse about the address.

He is sure,that we have to mail I-130 in different address,then I-485 .My understanding from USCIS site,we have to mail them in the same address in Chicago.He doesn't think so.

Please,hepl us to take a right decision.I would glad if you give us the link from USCIS site too.If it's possible. :thumbs:

Really appreciate your help. :yes:

Read the instructions for the I-485.. they say where to send when you are submitting the I-130 together with the I-485. You are correct that they need to be sent together, in the same package, to the same address.

Thanks for the help!

It's first time when we sent the documents.So,we have understood that it is OK if sent all of them,without waiting for I-130,but in the same packege.I am right?

I am reading right now the instuction for the form I-485,but can not find that they need to be sent together. :unsure: I only see the addresses there.

See post#3. There is only 1 way you can have the I-130 be concurrent with the I-485 and that is to have them in the same package. If you send in the I-485 without the I-130 it will be rejected. If you send in the I-485 with an approved I-130 it isn't concurrent.

When filing the I-130 concurrently, ignore the mailing instructions for the I-130.

If this isn't enough proof for you (the concurrent filing instructions for the I-485 + the guide here http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...page=i130guide2 ) then you have 2 choices:

1. Wait for an approved I-130 to submit the I-485.

2. Hire an immigration attorney to tell you the same thing.
