I am out of status (came to U.S. as a visitor) marrying U.S. citizen.

-When I file I-130 and I-485, do I submit the forms concurrently? Or should I wait after I-130 is approved?

-When I file I-130, can I concurrently file EAD and AP together? Or Should I wait after I-130 is approved?

-I heard that I must give documents proving our marriage (joint bank statement, house lease, utility, photos), do I submit those along with forms (I-130,485) or do I just bring them to the interview?

-I came to U.S. with my parents, who are also out of status. If the interviewer asks about my parents like where they are and what status they are (I heard that interviewer asks about family), should I tell that they are out of status and live in the U.S. or is it better for me to say that they are in my home country?
I am the one that is married to U.S. citizen and my parents don’t have any protection if USCIS decides to go after them. If I lie, I am worried that I might not be able to petition for my parents after I get my U.S. citizenship. Say I lie about my parents being in the U.S. and get my GC without a problem, will that prevent me from petitioning my parents?

I know these are a lot of questions. Thank you for your time reading this and I appreciate all the inputs.
 
  1. Concurrently.
  2. Concurrently
  3. Advise you to submit some of those
  4. ALWAYS be honest with immigration however DO NOT volunteer ANY information until asked. Don't even think about lying with an issue like yours. Your lie likely will not affect their adjustment of status in the future since YOU are the one that lied and they have no control over you. However it can jeopardize your petition.
