I will be USC on Oct 2 and have already filed I-130 for my wife in Dec 2008. I am ready to mail I-485, I-765, I-131 and G-325A to Chicago Lock box on my oath day alongwith a check for $1010. Is this OK.

Moreover, I am asking my sister in law to sign as joint sponsor.

Now, my sister in law, who is USC have also already filed I-130 for my wife about 5 years ago as sister of USC, which is taking 12 years. What shall we do now. Should my wife send a letter to National Benefit Center to withdraw the I-130 filed by my sister in law, or does my sister in law have to write to withdraw. If we do not withdraw the previous I-130, can we proceed concurrently and withdraw at the time of interview. Who actually withdarws the I-130. What if we do not withdraw the previously filed I-130, can the second I-130 be approved and AOS adjudicated. Please reply.

no, of course not. You never know what could happen to you and your I-130. Sister's I-130 has no effect on your I-130.
 
Do you mean that previously filed I-130 has no effect on new one

So, you mean we do not need to withdraw previously filed I-130 by sister in law. So, as I understand, if some one has filed an I-485 based on employment and now they want to file I-485 based on marriage, do they need to withdraw previously field I-485. Does I-485 withdrawal and I-130 withdrawal have any parallels, or they are the same
 
USCIS will withdraw the other I-130 when or before they approve your wife's I-485. You don't need to withdraw anything. If you ask them to withdraw the other I-130, they might make a mistake and withdraw the one that you filed. So just leave the other one as it is and let USCIS worry about it.

No, they don't need to withdraw either unless USCIS specifically asks the applicant to choose one and withdraw the other.
 
Thanks for the info

Thanks a lot. We will not withdraw the first I-130 unless asked by USCIS via letter to withdraw and second is approved before withdrawal of first
