Hello, have read the sticky however many of the links no longer work, so I could really use some help here, I am applying for one of my parents only:
1. Since my parent is in the US I assume I can file the I-130 and I-485 concurrently? However Part 2 of the I-485 form section a. requires attaching the approval notice. Since I would file concurrently I wouldn't have an approval notice for the visa number to attach. So I assume sending the I-130 together would be sufficient and explanatory?
2. Would like to know if send the I-846 at the same time as I-130 and I-485?
3. I assume that a G325-A is only required for my parent (and not me)? And that it must also be sent at the same time as I-130 and I-485?
4. Fees: there is a $420 fee for the I-130 and a $985 fee for I-485 - do I cut separate checks for these or combine into one check?
5. Birth Certificate: my parent does not have one, is the eldest child, does not have any surviving parents or relatives. What do I have to submit? Will submitting one affidavit from me (the USC child) be sufficient?
6. Do I submit I-693 (medical) along with all the above? When should this form be completed - is there a min number of days it must be gotten before of the day of filing? How long does is usually take? What about the vaccinations - I don't think we have any for my parent.
7. Is a police clearance needed? On the I-485 instructions it says if you are applying as a member of a special class read the supplement form - what is that form?
Am I missing anything?
