does the H4 dependents need to file their own 140/485 to get a green card? or is it just the H1 that needs to file a 140/485 to get a green card?

any elaboration on the topic is appreciated

if I-140 is filed for A then A file the Primary I-485 and dependents file derivate I-485 with primary(dependents dont need I-140).
 
wat do you mean "derivate"

like if H1's 140/485 is filed, H4's 485 is automatically filed?

its just that we only got reciepts for my dad's 140 and 485. I'm worried if this is wat is suppose to happen or if me and my mom should have separate 485's.

my parents dont know the green card process so I cannot really ask them. and our lawyer charges us money to see him and ask questions. That's why im relying on you guys.



by the way, thanks alot for all the info you have given me. This forum is amazing

--Let your dad read and post what he filed or you should go to lawyer.
 
I-140 is filed for the principal applicant ( who in your case is on H1). Separate I-485 application is made for each one of the applicants including dependents.
