Never mind! I just saw that I will send them both to the Chicago, IL lockbox

Awesome!! Thank you!!!

Yes, they are currently in the US and did enter legally and have overstayed. So I can file the I-130's and the I-485's concurrently...but they go to separate addresses, right? That's what I'm seeing in the instructions for the I-485. I already typed a cover letter for the I-130's and was in the process of doing so for the I-485, but I'm seeing a different address. So, if I have to send them to a separate address, how or where do I indicate that I have already filed an I-130 for each parent? I know I don't have to wait for the I-130 approval letter, so I'm just wondering where on the I-485 I "check" that I have submitted an I-130 for his mom and his dad. On the I-485 Part 2 (a) looks like it would be the spot, but I'm not entirely sure.

I can't thank you all enough for the help you're giving me!!! I have tried other immigration sites and they are never as quick to respond and never with such knowledge

I'm on it!! Thanks again!!

Thank you!! He does meet the requirements for a household of 5...but will they look at that number and double it because he is filing on behalf of both parents? $33,762 is the 125%...will they say he needs $33,762 for both parents ($67,524)? If so, I will need to submit as well. I may just do it to be safe :/

Again, really appreciate the quick response from a member

Hi! I am new here and I have been researching for quite some time and every time I Google a new question, it brings me to a previously asked question here on VisaJourney.com. I figure, this has to be the place to go.

Administrators, forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong section or if I ask something I'm not supposed to :/ I am a U.S. Citizen (born and raised), my husband just took his oath of Citizenship on July 5th, 2012. We initially went to a lady (non-attorney, just someone who knew what to do) to file the I-130, I-485, 864, etc. I have filed everything since then...removing conditions, Citizenship forms, etc. Now, I know the best thing is to always consult an attorney and we have, but has anyone been approved without one??? The reason I ask is because my mother and father-in-law want me to file their paperwork on their behalf. So I have been researching and compiling lists of what to send in and cover letters, and passport photos, and on and on. I just get thrown off here and there. Can anyone help me? I don't want anyone to give me step-by-step process because I have been researching and I don't want anyone to feel like they would get blamed for ill advice (and I'm not even sure it's allowed here).

However, I am going to file an I-130 for each of my husband's parents (him as petitioner). Then I will file an I-485 for each of them. I am also planning on filing I-765 (work authorization) for each of them. I need to file I-864 as well. Do I file a separate I-864 for each of them? Since my husband and I file taxes jointly, are we "co-sponsors" for each of his parents on the affidavit of support? I'm hung up here. I wish I lived next to our immigration office so I could just pop in there every day

Any advice is welcome. I do call immigration when I can and they are typically very helpful, but if I can get help here that would be awesome!!!

Thanks in advance!!
