I file form i130 for my wife that was out of stutue she came to the USA  with visit visa ,I married to her when I was having a permanent residence, I was told that we have to file all forms together ,I 130 and i1864 but I did not do that,14 months since filing 

there is no approval, right now I am a US citizen and wanted to update the filing to expedite the case,my questions are 

(1) how do I update the case?

(2) can I still file l1864 since i130 is not yet approved?

(3) what form do I need to file for work authorization and parole for traveling?

and which address do I have to mail them to or can I file them online?

So you didn’t also file I-485? This is one of the main required documents for adjustment of status.

I-864 is to be filed WITH I-485

Again, these are to be filed with I-485. You can not file them under I-130 or without I-485.

I-485 and accompanying forms can only be filed by mail. You can find the correct address on USCIS.gov.

@dady12

Are you saying that 14 months ago you and spouse submitted an I-130 & I485, but did not submit an I-864?  and no _131, no I-765?

Please help us give good responses by setting out some clearer information  and dates 

From your timeline, you were petitioned as a spouse visa. Have you since divorced?  Are you now trying to petition for a foreign spouse ? Where are you residing now? Where is your spouse? When did you marry ? How does your overseas travel fit with your marriage ? Where was your spouse living when you filed the I130 when you were overseas ? 
 

Too many confusing bits for me !!

Thank you for the much clearer information n Follow the mailing instructions on the uscis webpages for each form.   Ensure you attach the I179 receipt for the I130 with the I 485 packet. Double check you have all required documentation for EACH form separately. The completed  I 485 for your spouse will

have you identified as a USC now .. . and USCIS will see that in your file. 
On the I 130 did you indicate Consular processing or AOS ?

Then file the I 485 864. 131 and 765 will the copy if the receipt notice for the I 130.
The only thing still unclear for me is your comment about not being in the US at the time you filed the I130. Were you living/working/residing overseas or just visiting ?

Can I mail the forms to the service center processing  the case?since my wife is here,do she need medical examination for the form I485?as supporting document

No, you can’t do that. You have to mail I-485 to a specific address depending on which state you live in now. Instead of speculating, why not just look up the correct address on USCIS.gov?

Yes, she needs to go through a medical exam. You can choose to either complete it and mail it in with I-485 or send it in at some point later after filing I-485.
