What research? Does your research include instruction s for i485 from uscis itself?


From i485 instructions:

 

Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens include the following relatives of U.S. citizens: spouses, unmarried children under 21 years of age, and parents (if the U.S. citizen is 21 years of age or older).
Immediate relatives do not have to wait until Form I-130 is approved to file Form I-485. You may file your Form I-485 together with your Form I-130, while Form I-130 is pending, or after your Form I-130 is approved. Immediate relatives always have a visa available once Form I-130 is approved.

Omg! I think I miss that part. I’ll look into it again. 

 

Thank you so much! 

 

I think my question and my worry is now resolved.

Hmm, I didn’t know that you can file online.
Anywy ours is, we sent it to a lock box.

Yes, online filing started later last year.

Your profile shows DCF, but you said you filed with a lockbox. DCF is when you file the I-130 with the USCIS field office abroad (not the US lockbox).

DCF is not available for Manila anymore (except in exceptional circumstances).

I wonder if you can just put your receipt number in your i-485 Part 2 Item 3 where it says "receipt number of underlying petition (if any)"?

I-485 instructions say a photocopy of the petition is required (if the original petion is not filed at the same time).

Just explain it to the cover letter and attach the Receipt/letter that you got from the USCIS when you submit your forms.  

Don't rely on somebody reading the cover letter, or overriding the instructions.
