Forms to submit- Applying permanent residence for a parent in US on tourist visa

[Su_123 9]

Hi! Need some guidance on the process please.

 

Iam applying permanent residence for my dadwhi is in the US on tourist visa.

1. Are the below 2 only the forms required ? Form I-485 and Form I-130.
2. Do we send both these together with separate checks for each form?
3. I read somewhere about i-864. Is this form required as well>

No, these are not the only forms.

You should file I-131, I-765, I-864 and more.

 

See guide for details:

 

 

I know it says for spouse, but it's the same for parents.

 

It's best to file everything in one packet and not split I-130 and I-485. You can include one check for all fees.

 

Also, make sure dad is aware what permanent residence means. It means not leaving the US while AOS is pending, also spending majority of time in the US after receiving GC. Plus taxes on income worldwide etc
