i-130 I-130 & I-485 for Parent in the US

[faisalk80 0]

Hello All,

 

I have been going through these forums and there is a lot of information which is extremely helpful so thank you all for that.

The information is too scattered and i am still a bit confused. I will appreciate if you guys can help me out.

 

I am about to file for my parents greencard (Dad - 79yrs, Mom-75yrs) and they are here in the US legally on visit visa. They have been here since Nov 2017.

 

My understanding is that i will need to file the following forms:

 

I-130 - Petition for Alien Relative - To be filled by me (petitioner) - Separate forms for Mom n Dad = Fee $535x2

I-485 - Adjustment of Status - To be filled by Dad/Mom (beneficiary) - Separate forms for Mom n Dad = Fee $1225x2

I-765 - Employment Authorization - To be filled by Dad/Mom (beneficiary) - Separate forms for Mom n Dad = Fee included in I-485

I-131 - Travel Document - To be filled by Dad/Mom (beneficiary) - Separate forms for Mom n Dad = Fee included in I-485

I-693 - Medical Exam & Vac. Rec. - To be filled by USCIS Auth. Doctor - Separate forms for Mom n Dad - Sealed by Doc. = No USCIS Fee

I-864 - Affidavit of Support - To be filled by me (petitioner) - Separate for Mom n Dad??? Please Advise = No USCIS Fee

G-325A - Biographic Info - To be filled by Dad/Mom (beneficiary) - Separate forms for Mom n Dad= No USCIS Fee

 

First of all, are these the correct forms to be filed concurrently? If not, what goes first and whats next or what additional forms do i need? 

 

Do i need separate I-864 for both of them? Or a single form can serve the purpose?

 

For supporting documents, i have their Affidavit of Birth, Marriage record, their Foreign ID Card and their US ID Card, their Passport.

I am also adding my evidence of citizenship, by birth certificate, tax return transcripts.

 

What additional evidence do i need to add? Can i include single copies of my documents that apply to both of them or separate copies?

 

For Fee, can i use Form G-1450 - Authorization for Credit Card Transactions for all fees?

 

For E-Notifications, can i use G-1145, E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance?

 

Please let me know if all this is correct. Any help will be much appreciated.

 

I am about to get the I-693 from the doctor coming Monday, and plan of filing in the next two weeks.

 

Thanks again in advance for your help.

Don't forget the biometric fee ($85) for the I-485 for mom

 

They can be filed concurrently but each application should be able to stand alone in the event they get split up

[aleful 1,905]

the G325A is no longer in use

@payxibka - Correct. I have included that in the I-485 fee. $1140+$85=$1225. For each application to stand alone, do you think the supporting evidence i am sending will be good enough?

 

@aleful - Is there any other form instead of G325A that i need to file instead?
