hi E_Pluribus_Unum, thank you for sharing your experience in details. Did you get any further notice from USCIS? I filed in April and waiting for bio metric notice.

On this topic:
Lets say I file I-130 online (separately for Father and Mother).
Is it ok to mail the remainder (e.g. I-485/I-755/I-131/I-693s) for both parents in a single package to USCIS, or should I send separately for Father and Mother?USC filed AOS for parents on B2. I am not a lawyer.

hi verbose, Good question. I found this on USCIS's website.
They recommended to file separately. So, in my opinion - sending 2 separate set of documents on the same time- should give you the same priority date. (And, if you have filed I-130 form online on same date for both the parents - both should get the same priority dates). Even if you send 2 forms in single package - they are going to sort and treat it separately. (This is my understanding - pl validate before taking action based on my opinion.)Comment

So is the receipt and I-797 both different documents? I submitted my i-130 last month and got the receipt. But it doesn't mention anywhere about the i-797? Do you get the i-797 only once approved?Comment

Pls google "Consular Processing" and "Adjustment of Status" to understand the difference between two paths for this.Originally posted by Sun1980 View Post
Since you have already filed I-130, they would need to go through Consular Processing and no I-485 would be involved.USC filed AOS for parents on B2. I am not a lawyer.

Although I became a citizen and i am still waiting for I-130 to be approved . I believe it would be faster since i updated citizenship status. Filed I-130 with PR in April 2021 , Updated I- 130 form with Citizen MAY 2022. Thanks for response .Comment
