Concurrent filing of 485/130/130a/765/864/1145

[da.brown..m1]

My wife and I are in the process of sending out her packet. I just wanted to get help with a few questions.

We are filing the I-130/I-130a/I-485/I-765/I-864/I-1145

We will include the money order for $1,140 for the I-485. $535 for the I-130. Is the $85 bio-metric fee required now or later?

On the I-485, I-130a, and the I-765 were my wife is filling out the forms as the beneficiary. Her and I have filled out the form together, but she isn't fluent in English, and I am not fluent enough in Spanish for me to be the interpreter. I did of course explain everything to her but I am not confident as putting me down as the interpreter. What is the best way for the forms? Should I be the preparer or should we get a friend who is fluent in both languages to be the interpreter?

Thank you.

You should have one check for $535 for I-130 and one check for $1225 for I-485. (Personal check is preferable to money order because you know when it is cashed.)

Thanks for that info, I will do that.

Anyone have input on the question about interpreter vs preparer?

Thank you.
