Concurrent filing of I-130, I-485, I-131, I-765

Hey,

Did you find out about this?i was wondering just the same thing since im about to send both i-130 and i-485 together

hi, nice summary; helped me put together my cover letter. I have one question about this though. Is it really necessary to submit duplicates each time another form requires the same thing? I.e., 5 passport style photos and 2 times form g-325a? Or is it ok as long as everything is just included in the package, without so many duplicates?

Thanks!

Joli

what happens to existing green card application if I file new I 485 with I 130?

I am here on L1b visa and my company already filed for my GC in 2014. my PERM and I 140 is approved.
My L1b Expired in Nov 2016 and My company has filed for my extension for my L1b.

I plan to get married to my girlfriend who is a US citizen by birth. My question:
- What if my L1b extension is rejected after I file I 130 and I 485? Can i still stay until i get my response for I 485? Can I still work?
- what about my existing GC application? can i use the same application or will the existing application helps in anyway?

Hi,

On September 15th I married a US citizen by birth (so we should not be affected by 30-60 days rule).

Process and actions made
On October 22nd the whole package was sent via US Mail Express Mail to the address shown above. The cost for the whole package was about $18. On Monday using the US Mail tracker I got a confirmation of delivery at 11:00 AM.

Questions
1. When I was filing form I-485 I stated that I had military training during my study in the university. I have added 3 continuation pages explaining the circumstances. How likely is this to affect the process?
2. From what I've realized after thoroughly studying all possible sources including this blessed website it is not mandatory to file the Form I-864 Affidavit of Support concurrently with I-485. The Petitioner will be notified when filing of I-864 is required. As at this moment my wife doesn't meet the 125% requirements we will file this form later, in a couple of month. Please confirm or correct.
3. Form G-1145 was submitted, so I expect to receive an e-mail notification of acceptance. Will I receive paper notification as well? How long does it usually take to receive such notification both by email and mail?
4. What are the next steps and what should we be concerned about?


I hope this description would be helpful for others. Your comments and suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Did you include I-693 when you filed concurrently?
