Concurrent Filing for Parents of USC (B1/B2 AOS)

[Bryle 14]

Hello VJ forum,

 

Here's our situation: Our parents came in the US with a B2/Visit visa last July 1st.
Now we've convinced them to stay and adjust their status to get a green card.

 

Some details:
a. This is their 5th entry in the US. Every entry they've only stayed 1-2 months.
b. They entered the US July 1st, so it's about 108 days ago (when this is posted)
c. My sister will be the sole petitioner and sponsor (US citizen) and makes about $150k/year so she can petition both parents with only her as the main sponsor.
d. We are filing these 7 forms for each parent concurrently: I-130, I-485, I-765, I-131, I-864, I-944 and I-693 (waiting for sealed document in a few days).

 

Questions:
1. Wanted to confirm that for their adjustment of status, we can and should file all 7 Forms I-130, I-485, I-765, I-131, I-864, I-944 and I-693.
2. What's the current total $$$ fees for concurrently filing all 7 forms? 
3. Should we issue a single check or multiple checks per applicant?
4. Should both parents file completely separate? 2 USPS packages to USCIS?
5. Should we send everything here? (Live in Redwood City, CA (94061)
USCIS Chicago Lockbox
USCIS
PO Box 805887
Chicago

 

Thank you so much!

USCIS.gov for most if not all your answers - check the instructions forms for all.

Send separate checks.

I know, it's just we wanted more opinion on these since can't find a direct answer to these:

 

1. Wanted to confirm that for their adjustment of status, we can and should file all 7 Forms I-130, I-485, I-765, I-131, I-864, I-944 and I-693. are we missing any other forms?
2. What's the current total $$$ fees for concurrently filing all 7 forms? We've identified that it's going to be $1,760 for all 7 forms per person. ($535+$1,140+85)
3. Should we issue a single check or multiple checks per applicant? So we're going to issue a single $1,760 check per applicant

4. Should both parents file completely separate? 2 USPS packages to USCIS? I cannot find a concrete answer to this. So are we going to file 2 completely separate package applications to USCIS for each parent right? 

Thanks

I said separate checks.  You need to bundle each petition/application + requirements into its own packet because they each go to different offices.  So for each parent, you should have --

 

Packet for I-130 + required documents + check for filing fee

Packet for I-485 + required documents + check for filing fee

Packet for I-765 + required documents

Packet for I-131 + required documents

 

You may also add form G-1145 (e-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance), but not required.

 

You can send all 8 packets in 1 USPS package.  Note: "If you are sending more than one case in an envelope, clearly separate the cases by rubber band or fasteners."  More filing tips at -- https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/form-filing-tips

How are you dealing with the proofs for credit report and health insurance (part of I-944) for your parents applications?
