Do you happen to have a compiled check list of supported documents / attachments needed for i130, i485, i131,i765,i864,i693 ? I am going over the instructions and trying to list out everything. Or if you can Once I get all the list, can I list it here so you can validate?
Thanks

- Question about the i130 fee. Can I give my personal bank check for the 535$? or should it be a cashier's check or something like that?
- If you are filing Form I-130 with Form I-485, and you live in the United States: USCIS Chicago Lockbox
For U.S. Postal Service: Chicago, IL 60680-4120
For Express mail and courier deliveries: USCIS FBAS 131 South Dearborn-3rd Floor Chicago, IL 60603-5517
Both addresses are different. Is there an advantage to One Vs the other. Which is a better option? We need to track the receipt of the application received? if so, how?
- The Instruction list does not have a 'self addressed envelope' included but in one of the attorney sites, I saw there was a 'self addressed envelope' included. Is this needed?
- Can all forms be included in the same envelope? Should I include a covering letter and a list of what and all is included in the package - including the attachments.
Thanks

NewAcct - Can you pls help with the below questions ( last two posts + this one). Sorry for multiple posts
- We had a small trip to Canada Quebec for a weekend. i94 therefore got updated with a new date for the date of entry to US.
In the Address history - for US address, should I put the recent date of entry ( last weekend) or when she came to the US ( two months back)?
just want to make sure it is right. Please let me know

i485 Fee
for 485 -> Fee says 1140. Also the instruction says:
$ A biometric services fee of $85 is also required for applicants between 14 and 79 years of age.
Question: Should this be included with the 1140$ and a check for 1225$ be submitted in 1 check? or two separate payments? or Biometric service fee can be given later?
Thanks

Thank you
- Since I will be filing all forms together, should I include i130 fee along with the i485 fee & put in 1 check? Or separate? 1225$ + 535$
- i131 AP dates - putting as unknown for both Travel date & # of days is OK ? Since she has a ticket back on Dec 1st week, should I put that date instead?
- Looks like it may take a week - 10 days to get the i693. Just went for the initial dr appt.
waiting for the results.
- Below check list has repetitive copy's . Should I provide multiple copies or just 1 ? Or attach them all using clips to each form?
- Any idea how long it takes for Mom to get GC? worried if AP is an issue with her travel in Dec as she has to go for a month at least.

She can put a date if she has a date. Note that it takes way longer than 3 months to get EAD and AP recently (some people have been waiting 4-5 mohths), so she likely won't be able to get it by Dec 1.

Any idea if she can get AP before then?

Question about passport copy
Hi
- When passport copy is specified for proof ( photo page or stamping page ), do we have to send the entire passport copy or just those pages are enough ?
If only pages that have some entry need to be sent, then pages that have UAE entry ( Emirates goes via Saudi )- should that be included as well ? Or only pages showing US entry stamp is good enough ?
i765 -> #13 - Place of last entry into US. i94 now reflects the weekend quebec trip and shows entry as Vermont. Should that be updated or can we leave it as Boston when she came in Jun. Should all "last entry to US" be updated to reflect the i94 update? Newacct - can you please confirm?
Please let me know
Thanks
