How much time do I have to send I-485 after I-130?

[Eduardo Rodriguez 1]

This morning my wife and I filed two I-130s in which she, an American an born citizen, is requesting me and my daughter of a previous marriage as her direct family. We thought the whole process could. be done online, but apparently right now only the I-130 can. be done through  the USCIS website. 

 

We are aware that the next step we should take to file the I-485s for me and my daughter. But how should we do it? Should we print the forms (we are aware that theres a new version for this year) and send them via USPS? If thats the case, how do we indicate that those files are part of our cases? 

 

Also, we understand that when filing for a minor with her parent at the same time the child's I-485 costs is less. So how do we indicate that this two I-485s are part of a same family?

 

Thank you so much in advance, we are a bit lost in this part of the process

Yes you send the others forms by usps.

On top the form i-485 you place the i- 130 receipt that you got when you submited the i-130.

They know you are filling currently because when you fill out i-485 you will type the i-130 receipt number.

I advise you read about current filing here on visajourney

You should have indicated, on the I-130, that this is for Adjustment of Status.  As @mytruelove18 said, include the I-130 receipt notices to the I-485 packages to connect the dots.

~~ Topic moved from CR1/IR1 forum to AOS work/tourist/student visas — this is not a spousal visa case ~~

Thanks, when the I-130 asked where do I plan to do the following steps, current address, etc my answers indicated that I'm already in USA but there was no explicit question about adjustment of status explicitly

Exactly! On that question I marked Greer, SC (according to google my closest USCI office)

Also send the medical exam, call uscis doctor in your area and get medical exam done and send it with the i-485 form
