As far as I understand, one is eligible for medicare only if one has worked for at least 10 years. I made some inquiries for my mom and this is what I was told. The medicare providers suggested to go with private medical insurance which is obviously more expensive. I am yet to look at private...
hsjin76,
Not sure where you are looking, here are the correct fees for I-485 (per applicant):
Processing fee : $930
Biometrics (above 14 years): $80
No fee for both I-765 and I-131. If your parents need to travel outside of US, AP will be handy.
Hope this helps.
Concurrent filings also have MSC* number too regardless of processing center. You will be able to see the case online once the case is transferred to CSC.
Hope this helps.

I am afraid I am unable to answer the question. I applied only for one parent and didn't need to provide marriage certificate.
Hope others on the forum can pitch in.
One difference is that I did not apply for EAD (if GC comes within 6 months, I didn't see need for EAD unless the parent plans to work in US). I do not know by not applying for EAD, if it speeded up the process. Just a hunch.
Fivestar,
From the RFE description quoted by you, it apparently looks like you have not provided a non-availability certificate (which is why you provided birth evidence from consulate general of India). CGI will also give non-availability certificate.
In my mom's case, I provided both...
Thanks Vishnu Mahadev. I know it's not a done deal until the card is in hand.
I will be visiting the forum as often as I can to pass on any information that is useful to the members.
TriSSB,
Indian Embassy will provide marriage certificate and birth certificate based on passport details. Pls contact your nearest Indian Embassy. I got my birth certificate based on my cancelled Indian passport.
Birth certificate without your name may not be valid (I-130 instructions...

One of the quickest timelines I have seen - 3 months and 2 days. :)
This forum has given excellent information. Thanks to all the contributors.
Good luck to all the applicants.
uk01,
RFE is related to my I-130 petition; they asked me to prove my relationship to my mom (thru birth certificate or other supporting documentation). I just resent the affidavits that I previously sent. In addition, I did get the non-availability also.
Hope it helps.
