Hello,

In Feb'09, I filed I-130 for my Parent who is NOT in the US.


I did not file for I-485, do I need to file for that too?

Thanks.
 
No. I-485 is only if the person is already in the US. Your parent is not in the US, so he/she will be called for an interview at the consulate in the location* you specified under the question in the I-130 "If your relative is not eligible for adjustment of status, he or she will apply for a visa abroad at the American consular post in:".

*(or at another consulate if they decide on another one)
