Hi

I am a US citizen (over 21) and planning to file 130+ 485 for my parents (currently in the US). From what I understand , I need to send 2 sets of application forms for each parent

Set 1 - i130 + g1145
Set 2 - i485+ i693+ I1864 + 325A + Copy of i130+ i131 +g1145

Both sets need to be sent together to
USCIS
PO BOX 805887
Chicago,IL 60680-4120

Appreciate any inputs

Thanks and Regards

Copy of I-130, I-131, g1145 is not required of you submit everything together. Only one G1145 is required - attached to the top of the application package.
Make sure that you have supporting documents (Proof of your US citizenship, your birth certificate showing parentss names, parents birth certificates, affidavits and secondary evidence if necessary, etc.)

Hi NKM-OCT23

Thanks for the response

1. Yes, I will be getting the required supporting documents. So will there be only 1 packet/per person with all the above original documents attached (i130 + g1145 + i485+ i693+ I1864 + 325A + i131 )

2. On G325A, section Applicants residence last five years...I assume that since this is "residence", I do not have to list their addresses for the 2-3 trips that they made to the US during this 5 year term. They never overstayed and such visits should not be mentioned as residence

Thanks

1. One packet per person (fee check and G-1145 on top, include separate checks for I-130 and I-485).
2. Just their current (and previous, if any) residence, not places where they stayed while visiting US.
If you also apply for EAD (I-765, no additional fees required) you can get a EAD+Advance Parole combo card with which your parents can apply for SSN without waiting for GC. Works as a good ID document for use in the US. I-765 needs 2 additional photos.
