How to file I-130 and I-485 concurrently when only one can be filled online?

08-25-2020, 01:02 PM

Hi,

I am a US citizen who got married recently. We are now applying for a green card for my spouse. USCIS permits me to file the I-130 online, but it requires paper applications for the I-485 (as well as the supplement to I-130, known as I-130a). My question is: if I want to file concurrently, do I have to submit a paper copy of the I-130? Is there a way to file concurrently while still completing the I-130 online?

Thanks!

When filing the (paper) I-485, the receipt number for the I-130 should be included so they can match up your 'concurrent' application.

USC filed AOS for parents on B2. I am not a lawyer.
