Hello Mom, Can you please help with the following Part 3 of I-485:
1) Would the answer to 3.1 would be yes, if my sibling has applied (I-130 form) for my GC (still at I-797C stage, the priority date is not current for the application).
2) for Q.3.2a &b, can i write USCIS, California Service center, USA as the application was submitted there?
3) for Q.3.3 can i write "petition submitted" or "application pending", as I-130 is submitted?

I-130 is not an immigrant visa and USCIS field office is neither U.S. Embassy nor U.S. Consulate abroad.

Thank you for the reply, but I-130 form is submitted by my sibling for my greencard application.
Below is the link

Like @Xarthisius already responded, an I-130 is not an immigrant visa application. It is a “petition” filed by your sibling requesting USCIS’s approval to sponsor you for an immigrant visa. So the correct answer to your initial question is “NO”. You currently do not have a GC application.

Thank you for the detail answer. One new thing I learned today Petition vs. GC application.
 
One more question, Can i show funds from a foreign financial institution (based out of US) or should i stick to account from US financial institution only?
 
Hello mom,

1. Being subject to INA212 does not necessarily translate to everyone needing sponsorship. If you feel you can demonstrate you’re unlikely to become a public charge, you do not need to have a sponsor.
2. Yes, if they meet the applicable requirements to be a sponsor.

And there is not any pre set threshold to demonstrate your unlikely to become a public charge. What I mean is there any requirements to demonstrate that , like certain income?
Thank you so much
 
Hello mom
The AOS fee is 1225usd which is supposed to be given by a USPS money order. However the max limit of a usps money order is 1000usd. So is it OK if I pay with 2 money orders? ( one 1000usd plus one 225usd). Actually it will be 4 money orders ( for me and dependent).

you can break down the money orders as suited or get one money order from the Bank. Just reference the case number and principal applicant's and derivative(s) name on the money order.

Unfortunately, I cannot give you a specific amount to work with. IO's determination of if an applicant is likely to become a public charge will be based on what is know as the totality of the circumstances. This is why in general, having an I-134 as a back-up financial document is recommended for most applicants. You may want to review this Totality of the Circumstances Framework from USCIS to help you decide if having an I-134 might be worth it or not for your case. You can also review the USCIS Manual below for more on Prospective Determination Based on the Totality of the Circumstances


www.uscis.gov

Chapter 4 - Prospective Determination Based on the Totality of the Circumstances

The public charge inadmissibility determination is a prospective determination based on the totality of an applicant’s circumstances.

Yes, you can breakdown the payment into two money orders per person.
 
This may sound silly, but i want to confirm if i should select 1a, if the parent is filling the I-485 for kids under the age of 12. Previously, my previous question was confirmed saying Parents are not preparer's for kids under the age 12.

Hi! a quick question here
Should I translate my documents to English even if I already have those documents in the official English version?

Your question is not quite clear. Are you asking if you need to translate a document that contains both English and non-English languages?

No, I mean I already have those documents in my language and in English- both official but separate. In this case, should I still get them translated into English through some authorized institutions, or like to notarize them?

No you don’t, if you already have an official version fully in English.
