You could. If you do, you are very likely to get an RFE (Request for Evidence) asking for the missing documents. According to many posts in this forum, this may delay the process.

Caveat: I am not an attorney and so don't treat my opinion as legal advice.
Once I-130 is submitted, it shows evidence of intent to immigrate on the part of your mother. If she travels to the US while I-130 is pending, on a tourist visa, she runs the risk of being denied entry by immigration official at the port of entry.
I had a similar situation and asked my mom to wait until CP is completed.
I don't know if it is possible to convert CP to AOS if your mom is outside the U.S. -- Because AOS applies only if you are in U.S and she has to travel to U.S on a non-immigrant (tourist) visa. If she does, then the outstanding I-130 is likely to cause denial of entry.
I am not sure about this. So, talk to an attorney

Parents GC -- Some Questions
Hi,
I am a US citizen and want to apply for my parents' GC. They are coming to the US on Feb 2nd. I have a few questions regarding applying:
1. How long should I wait before applying for their GC? 30, 60, or 90 days?
2. Will they be considered out of status if I apply and their I-94 expires?
3. Can they get some of the vaccinations in India and get a doctors report saying that they have those vaccinations already?
4. I don't have a birth certificate, but my father is bringing a notarized certificate from the local municipal authorities saying that this is the only consistent date of birth that has been used for me. Is this good enough or do I need the affidavits too?
5. Would my parents need their birth certificates or will the passport suffice?
6. Several people in the forums say that they are getting RFE's. What kind of RFE's can we get from the USCIS? If any additional documentation is needed, I want to make sure my father brings it now because there is no one in India to get these documents once they come here. They will have to go back to get them.
Any help I can get is very appreciated.
Thanks!

There is not a single documented case of parents AOS being denied just because they did apply AOS b4 30/60/90 days. I like many many others did
apply immediately and it was perfectly ok just like others
and there is no law preventing to apply immediately contrary to what you hear on this forum. Do your own research instead of following the
myth propagated here.
Good luck to all and out of here.

Do you have any update on the fingerprint notice yet?
Hello George,
Do you have any update on your parents' fingerprint notices?
I applied for my mom in Novermber, 2008 and the case was transferred to Caifornia on December 21st, 2008. There is no fingerprint notice yet. It is almost two months.
Thank you very much for your any update.

Went for interview on Jan 22 at Newark, NJ. As IO walked us into her cabin, she gave us a hint that it will be a very quick interview. She asked all yes/no questions from 485 form to my Mom. Then she asked for following originial docs: my citizenship proof, Mom's passport, my birth certificate, my Mom's birth certificate. And after tallying those with her copies in the file she approved the application.

timeline for parent's gc application
I plan to file gc application for my parents, and have some general questions:
1. What's the typical timeline to get FP, AP, and final approval
2. If they have a tourist visa (1 year multiple entry), would that conflict with AP, which has immigration intent? Or the AP will invalidate the tourist visa?
3. A small question: do you pay the $70 to Department of State (or USCIS) for I-864?
http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/us...nnel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD
The USCIS's instruction is a bit confusing.
My parents are currently in the States (Missouri), and may need to travel to home country (China) in the next 3-4 months (cannot stay long enough till their 485 approved, but will come back if 485 approval/stamping passport notice is received).
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and advice.

best way to act
Hi Everyone,
I am a recent US citizen. My mother came here on traveler's visa and we immidiately filed I-130. We did not have all the docuements ready for I-485 at the time and decided to wait till I-130 gets approved. I-130 went to Vermont.
I would be very greatful if you could answer a few questions I have:
1. She is only authorized to stay here for 6 months and based on the processing dates she might not be eligible to actually be in the U.S. by the time I-130 gets approved. Would it be better for her to leave the country and then come back?
2. Would it speed up things if we filed I-485 now, without waiting for I-130 getting proccessed, since the visa number will be immidiately available to her?
3. If we file I-765 with I-485 will it reviewed before I-130 gets approved?
Thank you very much!

You should file I-485 in my opinion and attach the receipt notice of I-130.
I have noticed that concurrently filed I-130/I-485 are processed faster, but since you missed that opportunity, you should not wait for I-130 approval. I-130 filed separately may take upto 9 months (took me 7 months).

Hi dna123,
Actually I have applied for my mom's I-130. Looking at your dates of application I had some questions. I have applied for my mom's GC (Consular Processing). She is currently in India. Her I-130 is pending approval. I was wondering if:
1) She can travel to US on her 10 year multiple entry tourist visa now?
2) Is there anyway we can change Consular Processing to AOS if she can come in here on her tourist visa?
3) Also after I-130 approval I see that you took a break before you applied for 485. How much time do they keep I-130 approval valid?
Thanks for any info that you can share.
