Gustavo,

All the paperwork you are describing generally meets the requirements for petitioning and adjusting your wife's status. But a couple of things you mentioned need to be clarified:

1 Have another person, who has experience with this type of processing review your paperwork before submitting.
2. You cannot just drop the package off at a USCIS office. You must mail it to the Chicago USICS "dropbox," at:
USCIS
PO Box 805887
Chicago, IL 60680-4120

Gustavo - Since you're US citizen, your wife (alien) is eligible for concurrent filing petition. You can file I-130(alien petition), I-485(adjustment of status), I-131 (Advance Parole travel document - incase she need to visit Mexico), I-765 (work authorization for wife - EAD card).

Other forms like I-131 & I-765 is free of cost if you file them along with I-130 & I-485. Make sure you attach 2 different check :
1. Check in the amount of US$420 for I-130
2. Check in the amount of US$1,070 for I-485

USCIS declines application if you send single check for total $1490.

Concurrent Filing address :

USCIS
Attention : I-485 Form
P.O. Box 805887
Chicago, IL 60680-4120

Lastly, read this particular thread, it has solid documents http://www.immihelp.com/forum/showth...5-I-131-I-765/

Thank you again for the help, i had planned on taking all the documents to a immigration lawyer or similar to make sure they are filled right. i just wanted to make sure i was going to use the right forms also do i have to submit all the forms at the same time or just initially the I130 and the I485

[rayb]

Submit everything at the same time.

[Gustavo Romero]

i just want to make sure since i am almost ready to submit all the forms, do i need to submit 2 G-325a, one for myself and one for my wife. or do i submit one just for her.

[rayb]

Gustavo,

The I-130 for a spouse should also include a G-325A for both spouse and petitioner.
The I-485 needs only a G-325A for the beneficiary.

[Gustavo Romero]

thank you,

so how would it work if i am going to submit both of them, the I130 and the I485 i would submit 2 with the I130 and another one for my wife with the I485

You will be filing the forms concurrently. You need one biographic form for each of you.

[rayb]

Gustavo,

I'll clarify what I emailed you earlier:

Your I-130 should have a G-325A for you and your spouse.
Your I-485 needs only a G-325A for the Adjustment applicant.

Can I Apply I485 after I130 is received?

Hi RayB,

I was going through this thread, I hope it is relevant to me as well.

my Wife has already filed I130 and now I came across about I485 that we are eligible to file that. But, question can I now apply for B2 visa and my wife apply for I485 once I am in US?
She is US citizen by birth.

Please help!

Thanks!

[rayb]

If you are allowed entry on a B2 visa, you can proceed with I-485 processing.

But if the Immigration officer decides that you are using the B2 visa to continue with Permanent Resident processing, he can bar entry.

Hi Ray B,

Yes, I went through threads and online articles. I won't be allowed to enter now. So, only thing is I have to wait for my visa.
Is there any chance if I can get job offer and then travel?

I am also waiting for K3 visa, my wife already applied for it and the status says it is in another office and that office has jurisdiction over my case.

[rayb]

If you have an existing I-130 in process, a K3 visa request will not reach the NVC or Embassy for K3 processing. K3 visas are not being actively supported by USCIS anymore.
