bump

Hello, I am a naturalized US citizen and I am filling for both my parents who are already in the US. I have everything filled out but I have a few questions. Regarding copies for I-130, I-765, and I-485; do I have to send 3 different copies of my parents pass post, i.e. one for each of the 3 papers that I am filling or can I just send one copy for each parent? Would one copy of their pass port be enough or are all three different papers (I-130, I-765, and I-485) all going to different locations? Also, regarding their translated paper work, i.e. marriage certificate and birth certificate, can I just send one original translation for each parent? I ask this for the same as I listed above. Last, when I mail everything can I mail for paper sets (one for my mother and one for my father) together with the same mailing envelope or do I have to mail it with two different envelopes? (Of course I would make sure to separate their paper work from each other I am able to mail them together). Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your help.

hello everyone, sorry for the late bump. I have a question I know that there was a revision on 03/30/2011 for the CSPA which is after my mom filled my case. Does that mean that i would be covered by the CSPA rules before the 03/30/2011 revision? I ask this because I know that new revisions can't "hurt" and applicant but it can only help. Therefore, wouldn't I be covered by the rules of CSPA before the revision that was made on 03/30/2011? I ask this because before this revision citizens petitioners and LPR petitioners were looked at as the same so I would technically be covered, right? Thank you once again.

Yes, I wrote the wrong category. I was moved to the F2B category, so now I guess I have to go back to school so I can stay legal and get to work after another two years of school. Thank you for your help, it was greatly appreciated.

Background: My mother who is a permanent resident filled for me when i was under the age of 21 (it was exactly two days before I turned 21). I know that was cutting it a little close but my mother's petition still got approved and my priority date was set before I turned 21, i.e. two days before I turned 21. I thought that the CSPA Law froze my priority date before I turned 21 which would make me fall under the F2A category. Well this is where the problem starts. I called the NVC center to ask them a questions and they told me that based on their calculation they moved me to the F3 category. They never mailed me anything saying that they had done that so all of this was based on one phone call with the NVC. I thought that only the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) had the right to change my priority date and/or my which category I fall under based on their current rules and guidelines. Shouldn't the CSPA Law protect me and have my priority date be frozen to when my mother filled her petition to me? I got the approved petition letter which has my priority date being the day the paper work was mailed, i.e. BEFORE I WAS 21. The person from the NVC to who I spoke to said that based on how they compute things they had moved me from the F2A category to the F3 category. My approved petition says that my priority date in on Dec. of 2010 and the person in the NVC said that visas became available on Dec. 2011 but due to how they calculate things I fell being over 21 thus they moved me to the F3 category. Shouldn't my priority date on my approved petition from the USCIS which is two before I turned 21 and the CSPA Law keep me on the F2A category? How can the NVC just change my priority date and/or my which category i fall under? Once again I found this out all based on a phone call; the NVC never mailed me anything saying that they had changed my category from F2A to F3. Thank you for any and all advice anyone can give me. PS I am currently already in the US with a student visa but i was already offered a job because I graduated already but my opt only has two more months so I will be heading back to school so I stay legal.
