thanx teddy

but does this information apply on filing the i-130 while in US too

Yes, see below.

After Filing Your Petition

If your parent is currently in the United States, your parent may be eligible to file Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status, at the same time as you file Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative. For information on how to file this application, please refer to How Do I Become a Lawful Permanent Resident While In the United States?

You will be notified by the USCIS if your I-130 petition is approved or denied. If it is approved and your parent is outside the U.S., your parent will be notified to go to the local U.S. consulate to complete his or her visa processing. If your parent is legally inside the U.S. and did not file the Form I-485 Application concurrently with your petition, he or she may file at this time. For more information on adjusting to lawful permanent residence, your parent may refer to How Do I Become a Lawful Permanent Resident While In the United States?

Hi,

My parent are here in US with a b1/b2 visa and i am a US citizen and i would like to apply the i-130 for them while in US along with the i-485

any information on what documents needed for the i-130 and i-485

No problem filing the docs but I think the parent will have to leave the USA to avoid overstaying on the B 2.

See the guides at the top of the page.

Filing for adjustment of status fromo a tourist visa makes it harder for others to get tourist visas. File the I130 and enjoy their visit. The I130 process takes about a year. If they came with intent to stay they could be banned for life for immigration fraud.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

My situatuon is the same. I am trying to prepare the case my self. As far I know you need to file i 130 , i485, i 765, 864 (maybe also i864a), I693 and police report.
