Should I wait for 90 days to start processing my parents concurrent I-130 & I-485
I have requested some advice on this topic from Attorney Ron Gotcher and here is his response.

" That really isnt a problem in your case.
Go into the main ImmInfo.com site and do a search for Matter of Cavasos.
Preconceived intent is not a problem in cases involving immediate relatives."

Here is the link to Ron Gotchers original reply

Can you go early for Fingerprinting before given appointment:
Ofcourse you can, but check that office is working on that day.
e.g. SFO is closed on Monday and works on Saturday.
