How many photos for parents' AOS? Do I need to submit passport photos of myself too?

[rikkitikkitavi 0]

My parents, who are here on a visitor visa, are filing for an adjustment of status. 

 

I am filing an I-130 for each of them and they're each filing an I-485. We're also submitting I-864, I-864A (contract between me and my husband) and I-693 (medical).

Importantly, we're NOT submitting an application for advance parole (I-131) or for employment authorization (I-765). 

Under these circumstances, how many passport-size photos are required for each parent? Just 2 photos, for the I-485 alone? Or 4 photos, for I-485 as well as I-130? Elsewhere I'm also reading that 6 photos are required, but I imagine some of those applicants are also filing for advance parole or employment authorization, which my parents are not doing.

 

Second question: as the US citizen petitioner on I-130, am I also required to submit 2 passport-size photos of myself? USCIS instructions mention only that 2 photos each of petitioner and beneficiary are required in the case of a petition for spouse and don't mention this requirement for parent or other relative petitions. 

 

Many thanks for any advice.

You should always file I-765 and I-131 with I-485. These forms are free when filed as part of adjustment of status. You wouldn't believe how many people regret not filing them.
