Concurrently files I-130, I-485, I-864, I-693, I-765, & I-131 for Parents who are present in the US on B2. 

Mailed the whole packet with Cashier's Check on Feb 26th 2018 and was delivered Feb 28th 2018.

No Text/Email or NOA yet as of 10th March 2018. 

Any idea when to expect the receipt?

@payxibka - Correct. I have included that in the I-485 fee. $1140+$85=$1225. For each application to stand alone, do you think the supporting evidence i am sending will be good enough?

@aleful - Is there any other form instead of G325A that i need to file instead?

Hello All,

I have been going through these forums and there is a lot of information which is extremely helpful so thank you all for that.

The information is too scattered and i am still a bit confused. I will appreciate if you guys can help me out.

I am about to file for my parents greencard (Dad - 79yrs, Mom-75yrs) and they are here in the US legally on visit visa. They have been here since Nov 2017.

My understanding is that i will need to file the following forms:

I-130 - Petition for Alien Relative - To be filled by me (petitioner) - Separate forms for Mom n Dad = Fee $535x2

I-485 - Adjustment of Status - To be filled by Dad/Mom (beneficiary) - Separate forms for Mom n Dad = Fee $1225x2

I-765 - Employment Authorization - To be filled by Dad/Mom (beneficiary) - Separate forms for Mom n Dad = Fee included in I-485

I-131 - Travel Document - To be filled by Dad/Mom (beneficiary) - Separate forms for Mom n Dad = Fee included in I-485

I-693 - Medical Exam & Vac. Rec. - To be filled by USCIS Auth. Doctor - Separate forms for Mom n Dad - Sealed by Doc. = No USCIS Fee

I-864 - Affidavit of Support - To be filled by me (petitioner) - Separate for Mom n Dad??? Please Advise = No USCIS Fee

G-325A - Biographic Info - To be filled by Dad/Mom (beneficiary) - Separate forms for Mom n Dad= No USCIS Fee

First of all, are these the correct forms to be filed concurrently? If not, what goes first and whats next or what additional forms do i need? 

Do i need separate I-864 for both of them? Or a single form can serve the purpose?

For supporting documents, i have their Affidavit of Birth, Marriage record, their Foreign ID Card and their US ID Card, their Passport.

I am also adding my evidence of citizenship, by birth certificate, tax return transcripts.

What additional evidence do i need to add? Can i include single copies of my documents that apply to both of them or separate copies?

For Fee, can i use Form G-1450 - Authorization for Credit Card Transactions for all fees?

For E-Notifications, can i use G-1145, E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance?

Please let me know if all this is correct. Any help will be much appreciated.

I am about to get the I-693 from the doctor coming Monday, and plan of filing in the next two weeks.

Thanks again in advance for your help.

Thanks toribae1031. Mine came out to about 1300 pages. I will organize it chronologically with page separators. Hope it will help them sort through my history book :-)

Ok i will try to keep this simple and precise. I filed in June 2014, my case is pretty plain vanilla, both of us are together and going strong. I got my biometrics appt and receipt notice. Then in Nov 2014 got a letter that the case has been transferred. In March 2015 i opened a service request and got an RFE. I sent all the evidence i could such as joint (bank statements, leases, tax returns, medical insurance, 401k, pictures, letters, etc) but i kept the packet to a minimum number of pages. I got the RFE for additional evidence which is fine but here is my question:

How many pages of evidence should i send?

I have all my statements for everything in PDF and that adds up to almost a 1000 pages (Yes! One Thousand Pages)

Is this normal. I mean i can get them printed out at a local copy place but isnt that too much. I dont want to bog down the IO and i am assuming He/She might just look at the pile and call me out for an interview.

Even if i doubleside the pages thats still about 500 pages.

Another question, how do i send SMS records? I extracted my SMSs to an Excel file for at least last year. I have my cell phone statements to match the date and times. I believe since its not something official i am not sure.

I will appreciate any advise. Thanks!
