What Forms to fill to apply for GC for parents in India?

I have read through various threads and searched but couldn't get complete and accurate information hence posting this question.

If you provide answer to few of my question or guide me to the thread where I can find the exact information, I will appreciate that.

My Parents are in India and I am ready to apply start GC process for them. I would like to know what forms do I need to submit
for the process.
a) Is it only I-130 and I-864 or complete other forms as well (I-485, I -131, I-765 I-693 etc.) ?
b) If I have to file other forms what is the process ?
c) Do I need to file separately or just one application
d) What is the fees.

I understood from one other sticky thread that you can submit a package with all 6 forms (state above) if the applicant is in USA but
how it works for folks in India?

Thanks for you valuable feedback.

Start with I-130 and supporting documents. And, all immediate relative require separate application.

Upon I-130 approval, consulate will be notified and parents will be required to attend immigrant visa interview in consulate.

Thanks USNYCUS,

I will look at the instructions of I-130 and file. Is there any other form that I should file with it ? or once the visa is granted other forms will be filled.?

Thanks again for your response.

Hey vsshah, This is great man .. Thanks a lot for putting all this together in details. I know tons of others folks like me will benefit out of it.

qq: Did you send 1-864? along with the I-130 or later on ? Even if you sent it later, is it worth to send with initial application or they ask of I-864 again also?

Thanks usnycus for your help. Appreciate it.
 
I will suggest, just send I-130, and then I-864 when asked. Im my case and other similar cases, it takes 4 to 5 months.

Well, I am not authorised information providor, please double check with other knowledgable guys.
