ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS FOR MY MOTHER ! Please help me

[Natiparrilla 1]

Good afternoon, 

I read and knew that we had to send forms I130 and I485 together but my husband sent I130 first, we already got the letter confirming it was received now my question is that is the process going to be delayed because of that ? I am sending I485 form tonigt,

are going to have issues if we sent the I130 first ? How long it is taking to complete the process in Texas

 

Thanks for your help and advice, I will appreciate it

Send the I485 with a copy of the I130 receipt NOA.  Should not really be much of a delay, and no issue sending the I130 first, but not sure of the processing times for the I130 and I485 which can be done either at a service center, or at your local office.

 

Good Luck!

I am still confused about this process, I sent the form I130 already, I received the I-797C and now ready to send I485, I was told in a post here few days ago that I need to send copy of the notice of action attached.

 I just downloaded the check list for this form I485 and it says I need passport pictures, birth certificate, and few other forms including the Medical Examination form, affidavit and bunch of forms

Please clarify me what exactly I need to attach to my form I485

I am citizen requesting my mother, she is widow

I really will appreciate your help I am lost and get more and more confussed

You need to file, in addition to I-130:

 

 

I-485

I-693 (mom needs to take civil surgeon medical exam)

I-864

I-131 (optional)

I-765 (optional)

Who told you that? Adjustment of status packets require I-693 when filing. Otherwise it will get rejected.

 

"Effective Dec. 2, 2024, you must submit Form I-693, or a partial Form I-693 (such as the Vaccination Record), and you must submit it with your Form I-485. Otherwise, we may reject your Form I-485. "

Don't use notarios / paralegals to file immigration cases! Don't rely on advice of friends who filed cases long time ago. Things change all the time. You need to be aware of all requirements.

You were misinformed.  Why are you sending an I-864a?

The Civil Surgeon fills in the form, they determine how much they charge, she may find it cheaper to get the shots done elsewhere
