    Apparently the OP misunderstood the instructions she read regarding submitting the I-485 and I-130 at the same time, and doesn't understand that that stipulation only applies if the applicant is already legally in the U.S.

    Since the OP has assured us that she/he will let us know the result of her mailing both forms at the same time for her mother, who is still abroad, she must be prepared to forfeit the $1,225 submittal fee for the I-485.

    Everyone is looking for the fastest way to get through the immigration requirements, but to submit petitions before eligiblility (being in the U.S. legally) is simply inadvisable.

      Thx for the clarification. Regardless of whether the OP wants to file the I-485 for a parent or spouse, the rule is still the same, that the I-485 can only be submitted and processed if the beneficiary is in the U.S.
