  • Those in the know that for many green card cases, you file the I-130 Petition for Alien Relative right along with your I-485 Adjustment of Status application. But there are some times where you need to file the I-130 first, wait for it to be approved and then file the I-485 at a later date. Jim discusses these scenarios in today’s video.

    Hello, I’m a U.S citizen and I’m fixing my moms status and I didn’t know that I was supposed to file them both at the same time so I sent my I-130 online. What can I do now? I’m ready to send the I-485 with all the other forms but how do I prove that I already send the I-130? I know that I don’t have to wait till the I-130 is approved cause I’m over 21, I’m a U.S citizen and my mom is inside the country. Can you please help me with that? Thank you!

      I did I -130 and I-485 after searching a lot. So I ended sending both of them at the same time for my parents. However, I have a friend that her mom is not in USA and I am not sure about that, since my parents were in USA when I did all the paperwork. The only thing they did was to give us specific times to send extra information. I sent everything really fast, because I didn't want for my parents to leave the country.
