Adjustment of Status (I130 & I485) for Parents while B2 Extension of Stay is Pending

[JFearH]

There is no 11a in I-130. I answered Yes for 11, and left 12, 13 blank.
28 is information about parents country of birth, residence etc. which would be the country they belong to.

I think you may be using older version of I-130 or talking about different form, perhaps I-485? I know earlier i was referring to I-485 but this question is for I-130

[verbose]

Can you please answer the below questions as well, would very much appreciate.

1. Also, for I-130, 11a I put my current US address and I put "SAME" for 12A and 13A. Is this what you did as well?
2. I-130, #28, City of Residence, did you put US City or back home?

Hi there, I am in the same boat in terms of applying for my parents' GC.

Have you started the I-944? How do I show their assets, credit report, taxes etc. when their income is in India?
Do I include myself in the household and thus my US assets instead?

I did not follow the N/A rule very diligently and have seen at least one other post here where they did the same and it was ok.
Will be good to be explicit as much as possible....so do try to follow it as much as you can...

Also, for these forms, did you write N/A for everything where it was not applicable or did you leave it blank? I heard sometimes they think you missed to something if you leave it blank, really not sure what the right way is.

AOS can be filed only when they are already in the US.
Filing abroad is a different procedure called Consular Processing. Please google this as this is an important thing to be clear about.

Re: 693, I filed everything in one go. 693 is valid for two years, I expect that is enough time.

Yes my parents are here in US and I am filling for I-130, I-485, I-765, I-864, I-944 and G-1145 separate for each parents. Is this right?.

Also, for I-130, 11a I put my current US address and I put "SAME" for 12A and 13A. Is this what you did as well?

Did you file for adjustment of status while they are already in US? If so I may have some question for you to help me in my application. One that I can think from the top of my head is if you filed I-693 with your packet or you decided to wait taking in to consideration that it may be expired by the time I130 is approved?

Thank You. Since I have also filed for my parents extension of stay previously when their intent was not to immigrate and since that application is still pending? What should I put in several of the forms where it asks for the expiration of stay? Should i put the same date as what the current I-90 says even though that date has expired?

You mean their I-94? yes

[JFearH]

Yes agree
i followed likewise in my application for parents too

good luck!

Whether someone is visiting or residing is subjective, but what you said seems reasonable.

If they were visiting a place, that doesn't count as having changed their residence. Only list the places they resided.

So it doesnt matter how many times they visited US, those visits will not be included? Does that mean that for Part 3, #5 I will put my US address since thats where they are living now and for #7 will be their back home address and I guess that the duration for back home address will be longer even though they were technically not present there during many times they were visiting US? I just hope this will not raise any red flags.

Thank You Guys, I have an additional question which I am really unsure of. My parents on B2 have been visiting me on and off for several years where they stayed with me for few months at a time. For I-485 Part 3 (Address History) and leveraging Part 14 (Additional Information), even though there are at most 2 addresses (outside US), do i need to list out all the dates as well taking in to consideration that they travelled back and forth a dozen times between those addresses?. For instance, would i need something like the below.

5 - US Address (March 2020 to Present)
7. Home Address (June 2019 to March 2020)
14 (Additional Information). US Address (February 2019 to June 2019), Home Address (October 2018 to February 2019), US Address (Some Date, Home Address (Some Date), etc and the list goes on until it covers for the last 5 years

Additionally, should I also include their stay for less than a month at my sister's residence in lets say Canada? If not then wouldn't it show a gap and require a possible RFE?

Any help will be much appreciated. Please guide me as i am lost with this one.
