Questions on Filing for Green Card for parent
I am filing a petition for permanent residency my parents.
Since a friend told me that the rules may have changed recently, I would appreciate if some one could confirm the following:
1. Can one file I-130 and I-485 together?
There is a notice on USCIS website that says one has to wait till a visa number is available. Not sure if that means, I-485 cannot be filed together anymore.
2. If an I-130/I-485 has been submitted, would there be any problems for my parents to enter the US based on their multi-year tourist visa that they have been using to come to the US?

Email from USCIS - RFE
I received the follwing email this after noon. I am hoping to receive the letter in couple of days. I have sent all the supporting docs along with the appplication package ( I-130, 485, 131).
Can anybody let me know what I can be expecting?
Thanks for your reply in advance.

It could be anything you forgot to submit from the list below...
1. birth certificate
2. translation of birth certificate
3. non-availability birth certificate from local authorities if affidavits were submitted in lieu of unavailable birth certificate
4. I-693
5. I-864
6. supplementary documents....
All you can do is to wait for the RFE to come in mail. Dont break your head over it. Go through the copies of the forms you sent and verify if you submitted what they asked...
Status- processing dates?
09/13/05 - I130/I485/I765/I131
10/29/05 - FP
11/17/05 - I131 approval
11/18/05 - I765 approval
There has been nothing on my I-130 or I-485. only thing I've noticed is the last updated date is changed to "11/1/05" for the I-485.
I can't seem to find what the processing dates are for the cases with MSC###

my timeline
First I want to say that these boards have been INVALUABLE during the preparation process. I spent many hours pouring over messages and avoided several mistakes thanks to everyones helpful advice. It seems that with the new lockbox/processing policy things have slowed down dramatically for I-130/I-485 petitions. I haven't looked at the boards in quite some time because I was content just thinking that things must be moving along but now I'm starting to wonder a bit. I would like to see SOMEONE's timeline that actually got their GC since this new lockbox mailing was started! Perhaps I have to go through the archives... Anyway, here's my timeline so far:
I am Candian citizen, married to US Citizen March 12, 2005. I was here legally prior to marriage (and at the time of marriage) for about 2.5 years (on TN).
Mailed package (I-130, I-485, I-131, I-765) to lockbox 4/15/05 or so...
Fingerprints 5/11/05
Received AP 6/15/05
Received EAD 6/16/05
Have not received ANYTHING since. Should I be concerned??
Of course I have called but since my case is being processed at the National Benefits Center they cannon tell me anything about processing times.

Well, mine would be the California Service Center and I suppose Santa Ana is my District office but the person on the phone told me that my case is still at the National Benefits center (receipt notice starts with MSC)... I assume it would be forwarded to my DO for interviewing etc. but have heard nothing and it's now been over 6 months. The listings for CSC say they are processing applications with receipt date of May 19, 2005 but my file has not been updated/access at all so I assume it's not there. The Santa Ana office does not list times for I-130 either...
It seems like others are having a long wait these days with the new procedure of mailing all family based applications to the National Benefits center.
I may try to write a request for information but I suspect that would be basically a waste of time. Guess I just have to wait longer

I-485 Processing times question
Hi everyone!
I'm new to the boards here, just reading through everyone's posts has been so helpful. Nice to know I'm not alone in this frustrating process...
My question is, how long is it actually taking for the I-485 to be processed? My I-485 notice from the NBC says 120-180 days, but that just doesn't seem right...I'm in Virginia and I'm not exactly sure what my DO is.
Here's my timeline so far:
Oct 6th docs received by NBC
Oct 13th Notices issued (checks were cashed somewhere in between)
~Nov 15th FP appt notice
Nov 30th FP appts for I-485 and I-765

I485/i130/i765
Rd= 9-23-05
Nd= 9-30-05
I have not received any other notices since... I'm very anxious, but I know it is a waiting game. Don't you think I should hear from them soon? I just need a little hope...

All family based GC applications should be sent to the chicago lock box which is a part of the National Benefits Center (NBC). The NBC is in Missouri and is also called the Missouri Service Center and hece the recipts you receive would have receipt numbers starting with MSC.
