Hi All,

I filed I-130 for my parents in Feb-07 with AOS processing in Newark.

At that point of time, I did not file 485/131/693.
I have not received approval/communication on I-130 petition.
My parents came to US on visitor visa in Jan-07 and have valid visa till JUN-07.

What should I do now so that parents can stay past JUN-07 ? If they stay here, what will be there status after JUN-07.... can they stay based on pending I-130 ?

I am planning to file 485/131/693 now. Can they stay based on pending 485 ?

Please advice !

Thanks
MM

MM Yes, they would be in pending I-485 status, which is a legal status, once they have I-485 in process.

I am also in a similar situation. My Father came to US 10 days ago and will be here until the end of October 2007.

I am planning to file his I-130/I-485/I-131(Adv Parole) concurrently. If I-130 and I485 is still pending beyond Oct., can he continue to stay here until the green card is approved?

If he is legally allowed to stay in US beyond October 2007 (pending 131 and 485), is there a good chance for him to get his advanced Parole( 131) for him to make a travel in Early March 2008? Is it possible at all?

Any inputs is very much appreciated

Thanks & Regards

Assuming you are a US citizen (you dont say), your Father will be able to remain in the USA as long as his I-485 is in process, regardless of when his visitor visa runs out.

If you file AP now, then there is an excellent change (read close to 100&#37 that your father will have it by March 2008. AP normally takes around 60-90 days.
