Q. CAN I FILE 485 DIRECTLY AFTER FILING 130? PARENTS ARE ALREADY HERE IN USA

August 16, 2023

A: First of all, you must ensure that you submitted a separate I-130 petition for each of your parents. Secondly, you must also ensure that your parents have lawfully entered the country. If that is the case, then you can proceed to file Form I-485 for each of your parents to commence the adjustment of status process with USCIS. Third, be aware of your parents being subject to the preconceived intent position that USCIS can take should you file within 90 days of your parents' last entry.
