Hello guys,
A friend of mine’s girlfriend came to the USA through her mother via K1. She was given a 2years green card and had been working since. Her mother was in the process of removing condition but her boyfriend who happened to be her spouse told her that he was going to file for her so she ignore the entire application that was in the process of being done by her mother. They have a kid as I write this. He filed for her I30 which was approved, but he has been dragging his feet until now. She just got to notice that she’s out of status when she was fired from her job and decided to find a new job. She contacted her husband to ask if he has the I130 but he said he can’t find it.
currently, they want to file the necessary documents as soon as possible. Therefore, they contacted USCIS for a copy of the I130, but USCIS said the document was shown as delivered and therefore, they will need to filed I824 with the required fees. My question is, can they file the I824 currently with I485 and I765 or they need to an approval for the I824 before they can file I485 and I765? Thanks for your help in helping to answer this question.
