What status do you have right now before submitting for I-130?

[newacct]

Whether you are able to file I-485 has nothing to do with I-130 approval. I-485 is to apply for Adjustment of Status, which is only for people in the US. If you are in the US, you can file I-485 as long as a visa number is available (I-130 approval is not needed). If you are not in the US, you will do Consular Processing abroad which will not involve I-485.

So to file I-485, I don't need to file I-130?

I'm the spouse of a US citizen. We filed I-130 first. Can I send I-485 with I-130 receipt notice (form I-797)? Or do I need to wait for it to be approved?

[jambreaker]

You should have together

If you and your spouse live in the US then there is no need in filing the I-130 first. You should have filed the I-130 along with the I-485.
Since you decided to go through the long process. You have to wait until the I-130 is approved before you file the I-485.
If you submit the I-485 without an approval letter for the I-130 , it will be rejected

[inadmissible]

You can file Form I-485 attaching a copy of the Form I-130 receipt notice

[steadygaze]

Do they approve I-130 at once or require interview? If both happen, does it depend on what to have it approved at once or called for an interview? If called for an interview for I-130, do we still have to go though interview for I-485?
