Can I send I-130 and I-485 together?
Hello there, I understand that you're interested in submitting both the I-130 and I-485 forms together. Could you please clarify if you're a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident seeking to sponsor a relative for permanent residency? It's important to note that the eligibility and filing process can vary depending on your status and the relationship between you and the beneficiary. Are you aware of the requirements and documentation needed for each form? Are you confident that you meet all the necessary criteria to file both forms concurrently? Let's discuss this further to ensure that you're on the right track.
Which gets approved first, I-130 or I-485?
Hello there, I have a question about the immigration process and I'm a bit confused about the timeline for approval. Specifically, I'm wondering which application typically gets approved first between the I-130 Petition for Alien Relative and the I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status? Is there a general rule of thumb, or does it vary from case to case? Thank you for your help in clarifying this for me.
