AOS through marriage. Son of spouse also out of status.

[Criciuma]

Hello All.
I'm sure this question is here somewhere but I couldn't find it, so I apologize in advance.
I have a friend who got married and is currently out of status. He came on a visa and overstayed.
I told him and his wife I'd help file the paperwork, which I have done for another friend before.
My question is about the kid.
So for my other friend, without the kid, he filed a i485 g325a g1145 i130 i765 and i864.
This person with a son (he's 13 btw, not sure if it makes a difference):
1 - Does he file the same paperwork?
2 - What extras are needed because of the son?
3 - Does the son need the same medical exams?

Thank you.

Barrados,

Is the petitioner a U.S. citizen? If not, only submit the I-130's, not the Adjustment paperwork.

If the petitioner is a U.S. citizen, submit separate 'stand-alone" packets, but together, for both the spouse and child. The child is eligible for a reduced I-485 fee if filed at the same time as his dad.

You should also include I-131 and G-1145 forms for each. The son also needs an immigrant medical exam.

The petitioner is an US citizen, I'm sorry.

What is the "packet" for the child? I-130, I-485, G-1145? Does the child also need a G-325a ?

Thank you for your help.

The child's packet should have everything same as mom, except that G-325A of child only should accompany I-485. His I-130 does not need petitioner and beneficiary G-325A's (unlike a spousa i-130).
