hi everyone, I am working on i130 and i485 concurrent filing for my parents. Just like to share my checklist/cover letter of the package:

Dear Sir/ Madam,

Please kindly find enclosed concurrent filing of forms – concurrent filing of I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative), I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status), and I-765 (Application for Employment Authorization) – for my parents.

Petitioner (U.S. Citizen)
Beneficiary 1 (Mother)
Beneficiary 2 (Father)

The content includes:

For Beneficiary 1 (Mother)
• $1,490 personal check ($420 I-130 filing fee + $985 I-485 filing fee + $85 biometric fee)

Supporting materials for both Beneficiaries’ applications:

How does this list look to you? did I miss anything important?

do I need G-325A for the petitioner (i.e. myself)?

I am quite confused about Form I-864 Part 3 when preparing for I130/I485 filing for my parents.

If I understand it correctly, I need to file one I-864 for my mom and one for my dad. For each i-864, one of them is the primary immigrant, and there is no other member listed in Part 3. I also only check "yes" for Part 3 Q1.

When counting household size in Part 5, including myself, my wife, my son, and the Primary immigrant, the household size is 4 for each i-864 form, instead of 5.

are my understandings correct?

thanks

That is correct.
