If filed in the US ..about 3-4 months by current processing times. Yes, you can file once she is in the US. Wait for about 90 days after her entry to file.

Visa expiry does not matter (in your mother's case). Wait for 90 days after your father's entry to the US to file for AOS. Else, it will be considered an entry with intent. Apply for your dad via CP and things should get done by July

Well the round-about way is after your spouse becomes a US citizen, he/she can file for her parents. No direct way for you.

Unlikely. If it is something that is absolutely necessary (e.g., birth cert) then RFE has to be closed before interview letter is even sent out. But, it is likely that after the interview the IO may ask to send more documentation.

Some ASC's wont let you do your FP without your passport.

You wont get an RFE for not sending photos! It is just an add-on evidence. We send a few photos but the only thing we were asked at the interview was some photos! So we showed the same set we had previously send.

She a naturalized US citizen or US-born? Either way, if she has a passport, you dont really need a BC. But, a BC is fairly easily to obtain a copy of the bc from your local records office.

No

Anything from the lower 1K's to 4k depending on how much work you do and how much they do :-). If you have a straightforward case, just do it yourself. There is a ton of information on this and other forums.

Doesn't hurt to send a few copies. In most cases, the IO asks you for copies of pics at the time of your interview.

You dont need an AP to travel on a valid H-1 visa, irrespective of the status of your employment based GC.

technically, the day she takes oath and receives her naturalization certificate.

If you can prove legal entry, getting an AOS is not an issue on an overstay (I know of cases where people have worked illegally and got their GC through marriage). I think the point everyone is trying to make is that in your case if you cant prove legal entry (which, now, it seems possible) and...

typically your sponsor will receive a letter saying the I-130 is approved (irrespective of the online status). But, really it doesn't matter. So, just wait for your card, enjoy "relatively" pain free travel!

No it does not matter. You need your passport when you go for your interview. So you can renew after that..

1. Yes 2. No, it shouldn't

I completely agree with that. I recently moved from PA to TX. Things are much cheaper around here, plus no state tax :-) But, I thought the OP was talking about WA state.

I would advise against any traveling while the AOS is being processed. Just not worth the risk, unless it is for a real emergency. Also, you can apply for her change of status only after your oath (after receiving your naturalization certificate). Once the AOS papers are in, she is legal and...

a. Not a real problem. Just have enough evidence for "financial co-habitation", i.e., bank accounts, credit cards, etc. b. well, technically once the AOS is filed, she is legal (even if she leaves her job and moves with you). She can get the EAD within 90 days. The recent processing times are...

Yep, pre-tax amount is fine. Also, if he has other dependents that will be taken into account for the poverty line calculations..
