Concurrent filing I 130 with I 485 parents (merged)

[kirat17 8]

Hi Guys!

I am in the process of filing concurrently (i130 + I485) for my parents. And I have couple of questions if someone can guide me better...

1) I am sending forms I130, I485, G1145, I131, I765, I864. 

Do I need to send G325a and I130a also? Some say no need for g325a (biometrics) anymore but some say we still need it. Also not sure what the form I130a is for? Needed only for spouse or for parents also?

2) For the I864- sponsorship document, can my husband be the primary sponsor? or he can only be co-sponsor? Reason being- I am still a student with no income but me and my husband file our income tax jointly so the household income still is above the poverty line.

3) Form- 693 can be sent later, correct? The medical/immunization record?

4) In form i130 - as a student, should I mention my employer name as my current university address and details or just mention unemployed?

5) Wasn't sure if we need to write the Beneficiary's name and details in their native language in Part 4 of form I130 Q57-58? Just hand typed?

 

Sorry for so many questions. Just wanted to be sure. Really appreciate the responses.

Thanks

I think I might get RFE for not including G325A for my parents with I485 (concurrent filing with I130). I used the form dated 1/1/2017 for I485. My lawyer friend said I dont need to submit G325A but I now think I should have. How long RFE will delay the process? every link I read said that its better to wait for RFE rather than submit G325As now.

 

Thank you !

@bimik did you get approval for your parents yet? Did they ask for G325A? I am currently collecting forms for my parents and could use some of your help if you are done with the process..

I have similar questions as you had which I posted at the end of this thread.

3) Form- 693 can be sent later, correct? The medical/immunization record? Or in the main package only?

 

4) In form i130 - as a student, should I mention my employer name as my current university address and details or just mention unemployed?

 

5) Wasn't sure if we need to write the Beneficiary's name and details in their native language in Part 4 of form I130 Q57-58? Just hand typed?

 

6) Should I sign off and mention my name as the preparer of the forms if I am filing for my parents?

I havent gotten their green cards yet, it takes awhile. With the new forms I dont think you need to send G325a, the new forms should be longer. I am not 100% sure i 864 but I think he can be the main sponsor. I 693 can indeed be sent later but I'd just send everything in one package. You can say unemployed for I 130 and comment that you are a student.  For beneficiary's name, just hand write in native language. If you are preparing all the forms then I believe you can sign off as a preparer. You should also google for sample filled out forms online, these might help too.
