May 2009 AOS filers

I will file for my mom at the end of this month. My mom came here via B2 on 2/27. How long you guys wait to file?
I became USC on 5/8 and have most paper done. (485, 130, 131, 765, 864)

1) I need to do I-693 medical. Do they give immunization shots?
2) How many photo are needed for this package
3) Do you guys write one big check for all or separate checks?
4) Anyone has sample of cover letters for each form?
5) What do you use for I-765 question 7

Hey baraider,

To answer:

1.) Yes, they do give immunization shots if your mom doesn't have it. For some doctors though - it's expensive. So you must look for a USCIS doctor within your area that's not too expensive.

2.) For I-I30 - 1 for you, 1 for you mom. I-485 - 2 for you mom, I-131 - 2 for your mom, I-785 - 2 for your mom

3.) Two separate checks. One for 1010 - for the I-485 (I-785 and I-131 included already). One for 355 for the I-130

4.) I'm attaching the samples here. Just download it. For the cover letters.

5.) What do you mean by question 7? Question 7 is gender.

I waited for about 90 days. Typically, if you applying within the first month and if its your first trip to the U.S then its looks like you may have immigrant intent. Waiting for 60-90days would help!

The first posting in this thread has the checklist.
 
Great job guys. Thanks for the quick responses. I will join the May filers and keep you guys company for the next several months ;)
My mom has been to the US 4,5 times the past 10 years, each for a couple of months. T I became USC a few days ago and we have a young infant so it makes perfect sense to petition for her so she can stay with us and help with the baby.

It sounds like I can file a bit earlier like mid May. I will need to call around tomorrow to price check for the medical exam. I read someguy paid $480 for each of his parent I-693. It's expensive!!!
I was even thinking take my mom to a free clinic to get MMR shots and then take that copy to the doctor for the rest of the exam.

Look like i need to file a way to make multiple passport photo for cheap.

I had a brain fart. What I mean is part 7 of form I-131, explain why you qualify for advanced parole.

Do you guys use some template for it?

For the explanation - you should really be clear as to why you (or your mom) might want to leave the US while waiting for her GC. You could say something like - you have to attend the wedding of your daughter somewhere or something to that effect. Something that would make them believe that you're going somewhere really important.

Anyway, for the medical - I only paid $120 for mine. But that's because I have complete shots. :) But yeah, taking your mom to get free shots at a health center then taking those docs to the doctor would make it cheaper. :)
 
it seems like i send only four pictures instead of six for my dad.I may receive letter to send additional pictures.usps shows that they received the application.
 
Took my mother to do her medical exam this morning. Costed $180 in Chinatown NYC. I will pickup the I-693 this Thurs and hope to send in the application in the third week of May.
