It is a request for each one a payment for each one, in the I130 in part 5 they ask him if he is requesting another family member separately, there in his father he informs his mother and in the mother he informs the father the interview will be joint.
 

is your passport at the embassy?

Check well if you have not received the email requesting the sending of the passport and check in:

If they have not requested it, they must be close to requesting the shipment

one step away from being issued

I recommend to people who are close to an appointment not to do the tests with Dr. Roa, they are a complete disorder, they have few reagents for the urine test and they give preference to people who come from another country to do the complete tests . Colombians have to come back another day when they call that they have spare reagents to do the urine analysis, the two women who attend Adriana and Nubia there are super unfriendly, they treat people as if they were going to give them something for free. When the results are complete, they take too long to send them to the embassy, in my opinion they do not have enough staff to efficiently process all the people they attend and for this office they are leaving many people in 221g, the other authorized doctor Yes has everything, but when I spoke with them they explained to me that I could no longer change doctors that I had to finish the whole process with Roa.

My husband had his medical on Monday and was also issued the "excuse" from the doctor around the lab issue. No further updates. Seems like they may give a tentative answer at the interview but applicants will still need to fly back to Bogota for lab tests before final approval...not sure though. We have the interview tomorrow, and I will be there, so I will try to update when I find out more. 

IR5 Resend 1  document on November 10, 2020 and it was approved on January 25, 2021

The transcript is not mandatory but if you speed up the process, I did not present the transcript on the dq it took 9 weeks

If the information strengthened my case, yes.  

Yes.
 
If you have only worked one year and earn enough that is enough, for those who have worked the last three must provide the information.

if the I864 is to sponsor his father, just list him #29 1, and fill out another I-864 just for his mother

I was not necessarily approved in 7 months and the published waiting time was more than 12

the cases are already linked, the documents must be uploaded independently by each applicant

You must send the documents separately, there is a tab enabled for each requested document

I do not define that, since I am not the one who dictates the rules, the one who dictates them knows when and why. I could agree with you on that assessment, but I do not make the rules

I deeply respect the profession of the lawyer, everyone in the USA is there to earn money, it is to them that we turn when we do not have the capacity to handle a situation, that is why the lawyers studied and charge for their knowledge, each individual defines his priorities when hiring one .
The truth is that the rule is if it does not apply it is another matter in my personal case I would not expose myself to the discretion of the USCIS officers, and I prefer to do everything to the letter if I am not going to hire an attorney

Well, from my experience, I tell you that this forum is very useful, but one does not necessarily clarify all the doubts, I had to investigate a lot and finally pay advice since most of what is discussed here are topics related to wife requests.

I am not in any competition, I am saying based on my personal experience that I could have solved by adjustment, but I listened to the opinion of two lawyers and took the path that they indicated to me and that fit my conditions.

not only from lawyers but also from non-lawyers the best opinion is their own experience

You might not have enough income and want to combine with your father.  However, if your father's income is clearly sufficient without combining with you, then he should be the joint sponsor, not YOUR household member.  You do not need to be counted as part of your father's household but if he has a wife and unmarried child under 21, his household is 4, counting the intending immigrant.  
 
Living in the same house with a qualifying relative opens the option of combining income but combining income should not be done if the willing household member has enough income to qualify on their own.  If Dad's income is enough, he should do his own I-864 and his wife an I-864a, even if she has no income.
 
Please clarify whether your father qualifies without combining income with YOU.
 

it's already being done

That's nonsensical. The EO is implemented at consular posts and POE: "Implementation and Enforcement. (a) The consular officer shall determine, in his or her discretion, whether an immigrant has established his or her eligibility for an exception in section 2(b) of this proclamation. The Secretary of State shall implement this proclamation as it applies to visas pursuant to such procedures as the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, may establish in the Secretary of State's discretion. The Secretary of Homeland Security shall implement this proclamation as it applies to the entry of aliens pursuant to such procedures as the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State, may establish in the Secretary of Homeland Security's discretion." https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/04/27/2020-09068/suspension-of-entry-of-immigrants-who-present-a-risk-to-the-united-states-labor-market-during-the The BIA precedent decisions mentioned in this thread affect Adjustment of Status for Immediate Relative pursuant to section 245 of the Act. The EO has no bearing on AOS cases.

First, I want to emphasize that the following is my opinion -- and only an opinion.
 
Having said that, as long as there is an Executive Order that prohibits some categories of immigration  (e.g., IR-5's, parents of US citizens), I suspect that USCIS will begin to look very carefully at adjustment applications for anyone in that category who got admitted on a tourist/visitor visa, regardless of whether they waited 90 days or not.  It could easily be assumed that the tourist entry was an attempt to circumvent the immigration prohibition.  This could lead to more refusals at the Ports of Entry and/or denials of AOS.  If not, the floodgates of AOS applications will pour open in those categories. 
 
So, as long as the EO lasts (if it is extended later this month), I would think long and hard about trying this.  Of course, if there is a major change in circumstances that can be documented, that is different.  Otherwise, it will be hard to convince USCIS that a sudden decision to leave behind everything on the spur of the moment only occurred after entry into the US, when the pathway to immigration would be blocked but for this sudden change of heart.

it's not a myth it's a rule
