Thank you for your time to reply.

My parents are not in US and have newer been. So, I don't need to file I-485, just I-130.

Yes. You will just file i-130 in that case.

Hi, I am planing to apply for visa for my parents. They are out side of USA. I am U.S. Citizen. I know that I need to apply for I-130. But I read a lot that people apply for some I-485 too.

What is it for? Do I need to apply for I-485 too?

Thank you.

Hi,  i-130 is for you to apply to petition them.. i-485 is their application to change their status to permanent resident.. you can submit your i-130 and their i-485 applications concurrently if they are already in the US and will have no intention of leaving the US while it is in process.

Goodluck on your application!

Congratulations @Jazz_crazy. What is your local USCIS field office?

San Francisco. Only my mom have movement so far... my dad is still stuck with case accepted on both i-130 and 485 but they gave him an EAD and advance parole.

Hi Jazzy. Where is your service center? Congratulations!!! 

Hi, Thank you! It’s assigned to National Benefits Center (MSCxx)... is this what you were asking for?

Yes both my parents online status changed to “request for evidence received” the very next day the rfe doc was delivered.

 

call uscis and check if they received it.

Thanks for responding. Was planning to call them on Monday but I got a text message update for my mom’s 485 late yesterday afternoon and it said it’s now in Card/Document Production.

Update for my parent’s 130, 765, 485 concurrent filing:

Dad: his 130 and 485 are still pending but he got his EAD card (765) yesterday which is very confusing. I thought 130 approval comes in first.

Mom: her 130 is approved and we received rfe for her 485 ( i was sooo nervous about this but apparently the rfe was bec the doctor didn’t sign a page in her medical form - aaarrggh!). We already responded a month ago but her 485 status hasn’t change - still says “we request for additional doc...” I do have the fedex tracking that it was delivered... does it change for you guys when you respond to rfe?

Joining this thread.. applied concurrently for parents here in US.

here’s my timeline:

4/7:    mailed packet to chicago lockbox

4/10:  package was recieved

4/18:  received notifications (emails and txt) for NOA1 (Routed to National Benefits Center)
