My wife and stepson entered the US, prior to meeting me, under Ukranian Humanitarian Parole (UHP) status. After they were here, we were introduced by a mutual friend, started dating and got married. Now I'm working on filing for her and my stepson's adjustment of status. I'm trying to use the USCIS online portal. I have a few questions on processes...

  1. Can I file the majority of the paperwork online? They only seem to have a "form" for the 130 and had me add the 130A as evidence. Do I also add the 485 and 864 as evidence? Or do those have to be filed physically?
  2. Do I do a separate online petition for my stepson? Then the same as question 1.
  3. Is it a separate 485 and 864 for each of them as well?

 

Thanks in advance!

 I think currently it is easier to file on paper.

 

Yes

 

Yes there are some more forms, have you read the guides?

You did not mention EAD or AP so I wondered.

 

I would just do it all paper.

Still leaves AP and the child

I 131

I-130 and I-130A can be filed online.  If you do, you will use the online receipt number for the I-130 on the I-485.

 

I-485 has to be paper and mailed.  Same for I-864.

 

It is easier just to do everything on paper and send it in as one package.

 

G-1145 is for text notification.  I-131 for advanced parole, I-765 for employment authorization.

 

If she they have their EAD and SSN, i would skip I-765.  I would file all the rest.

I like filing for everything, especially if it is free.

I also file, for my stepson, the 130, 131, and 485? It looks like he is included on a singular 864. Do I send them in the same packet with one filing fee? And it's a separate filing fee for the 130 and the 485? Is it doubled for the 2 of them together or just one filing fee for the pair?

Yes, every person requires their own AOS packet and filing fees.
