I am planning to file family based immigration for my spouse. I will be US citizen in Nov or Dec 2005 (hopefuly). And, my spouse is currently holding F1 status and studying in US.

These are my questions:

1) I did some research, and it looks like I can file I-485 and I-130 in one package. Is this true ? If yes, what A# should I put in these forms (I-485, Biographic Info, Medical Exam, and ...so on)?


2) I also want to apply EAD and Advance Parole. Can I file them altogether ? Or sperately ?

3) Form G325A(Biographic Info): It looks like all 4 pages are almost identical. I think I need to fill out all 4 pages with the same information. Am I right ?

4) How early can my spuse take medical exam ? We are planning to file immigration petition as aoon as I natrualizaed.


Thanks

Yes it is true. You will enter "NONE" for A-number. USCIS will assign one to her later.

Send everything in the same package as 485/130.


3) Form G325A(Biographic Info): It looks like all 4 pages are almost identical. I think I need to fill out all 4 pages with the same information. Am I right ?

Yes, fill out the 4 pages.

4) How early can my spuse take medical exam ? We are planning to file immigration petition as aoon as I natrualizaed.

My attorney is of the opinion that the beneficiary should take the physiscal only after the petitioner took the oath of citizenship. It generally takes one week for the results of the phyisical to be back, so that's not really a big problem.

The results of the medical test are valid for 12 months (I think), but its always better for your spouse to have the medical test done around the time he/she plans to file the I-485. This has nothing to do with your naturalization.
