Hi as mentioned in the title, my wife and I successfully completed the I-130 online. We received an email with our payment info along with tracking ID and case number. Can we use this to file the I-485 or do we have to wait for the receipt of notice in the mail? 

 

Also a question about the photos. There was no section to upload photos so we didn't upload any for evidence. However, we have been married in her country for almost 2 years so we uploaded the original and translated version of our foreign union. Would photos still be required to upload? and if so do we upload it as additional documents on the I-130 online form or mail in photos with the I-485? Thanks!

No, do not print out that email.

 

Check if you can print it out the notice from your online account. Select "Receipt Notice" to open the PDF.

If not yet available, wait a few days. The notice should say something like "Form I-797C, Notice of Action" in upper-right hand corner. After getting the Receipt notice do the following. I-864 is filled out by the US citizen, and the rest by the immigrant. In general, send the following three packets (*note that I-765 and I-131 packets are optional, but highly recommended) in the same envelope to the Chicago Lockbox:

  • I-485 with copy of I-130 receipt notice, I-864 and supporting documents, I-944 and supporting documents, electronic I-94 copy, filing fees, etc.;
  • I-765 with electronic I-94 copy, etc.; and
  • I-131 with electronic I-94 copy, etc.

You'll separate each packet with rubber bands or fasteners: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/forms-information/form-filing-tips

On the I-485 packet, I-485 payment method (check, money order, or Form G-1450) must be the very first item of this packet.

Thanks for letting me know! I don't see it yet on the online account but I will check back in a few days to look for the Notice of Action. In the meantime I will be going over all the forms to make sure they are filled out correctly and gather all evidence!

 

What about photos. Is it necessary to send photos for evidence?
