US Immigration from Ukraine

Hello, I am filing a GC petition for parents who are already in the US on tourist visas and I need help organizing the documents. I have separate folders, each containing a form and the relevant supporting documents. Internet says that my total price should be $535 for i-130 and $1225 for I-485, with other fees waived because they are already included into this price.

How do I work this into the package? Do I just skip paying for i-131/693/765/864? Do I add a letter into each folder explaining that I paid for other forms? Any other recommended ways of doing this?

This post is for those who submitted an N400 (especially if you did it online) within the last 6 or so months and, like us, are in the Boston area and will be processed out of the Boston field office.

Has anyone seen any movement yet? In particular, anyone receive a letter with an interview date?

I ran some reports here on VJ but not sure how comprehensive the results are as not everybody maintains a VJ timeline.

Thanks in advance for any intel you may have on this matter.

I am a citizen who wants to submit GC package for my parents who are currently in the USA. Some of the forms have overlapping requirements and require the same supporting documents, e.g. the main I-130 requires a passport copy and I-131 requires "A copy of an official photo identity document" which is also a passport. Do I need to treat these independently, even if I send them in a single package, and include two translated copies of the same passport? Or is it ok to include just one copy?

Rules were recently changed that foreign adoptions are now allowed in Ukraine once more. My wife and I were considering it, but frankly have no idea where to even start looking. Would we have to reach out directly to orphanages? Should we reach out to an adoption service that will reach out for us? Is there a Ukrainian government website that lists eligible children?

I would also appreciate an overview of the process if anyone can link me. My search-fu on VJ has proven futile.

My daughter in law was scheduled to get her visa in Kiev but as we know the embassy is closed. She was approved for her visa and her documents were sent to Germany. she was able to come on the refugee program, does anyone know the next step we need to take.
