US citizen parents sponsoring over 21 son..

Drownfish,
I will be following your thread now that the petition I filed for my adult son as an LPR in April 2001 has been upgraded to FB1.I became a citizen in March 2009, so his PD became current and hence filed I-485 and other relevant forms on May 21st.
He already has an employment based I-485 filed (not yet approved as date is not current) along with I-140 (approved) and holds a valid EAD and AP- all employment based. However with the filing of family based I-485, EAD etc all these will become null and void. RSRK
Timeline:
Filed I-485, EAD I-864,etc on 21st May 2009
Receipt notices for EAD and I-485: 4th June 2009
FP sceduled for: 26th June 2009
 
First of all he can have 2 485 in same time - it's not a problem at all, nothing is void. Even if you submit forms again for EAD I strongly suspect CIS will NOT give him new EAD, but will extend the one he has now.

RSRK, did your son's upgrade to FB1 through USCIS or NVC, I have tried to upgrade through USCIS twice and got rejected, so I assume you did it through NVC? but it looks like your son is already in the US. Let me know.

Also, if you upgraded through USCIS, could you detail the process of how you have done it? Thanks.
 
CSIQ
My son lives and works on H1 in USA, hence he will adjust status with USCIS. For upgrading, I just sent my naturalization certificate along with his approved I-130 petition to USCIS when we submitted his adjustment of status papers. There will not be any response saying that will say that it has been upgraded. If all the papers are in order and priority date under FB1 is current, they will start processing it. We have already received the receipt notices and FP notice so far. So I am hoping that if everything is okay, things will be processed accordingly.
 
Hi people submitting I-485 soon, I have some question, please help me.

1. Is medical record necessary when submitting I485? I see a lot of you guys (mermaid for example) are busy getting medical check up, there are also people from trackitt.com got RFE because of lack of medical records. However, my lawyer gave me a list of things to prepare before submitting I485 packet, he didn't list medical as one of the things to work on. Did he miss it? What kind of people has to get medical record done, is it only fo poeple deal with NVC? (I am inside US, and USCIS has my record)

2. I have birth certifacte, but it's in my language (because I brought it with me from my country), do I have to translate it to English and notarize it? If so, where should I get translation and notarization for it?

3. My lawyer didn't list proof of no criminal record, do you think it's something I should also include in my I485 packet to avoid RFE?

Thank you!
 
Hi csiq,
1. I am pretty sure everybody filing for GC (in both consular and adjustment) has to undergo a physical exam. Go on USCIS website and search "Who has to have a medical exam? " http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/us...nnel=95fc9c997f710110VgnVCM1000000ecd190aRCRD
2. Birth cert has to be translated and notarized. You can contact a translation company in your area or some kind of immigration services that have translators on staff and you can get it done for under $100.
3. As far as I know if our adjusting it is not necessary to provide proof of lack of criminal records. What did your lawyer say about that?

Would you mind sharing the list of things for adjustment that your lawyer gave you. I decided to go without one and I am also worried about getting RFEs which slows down the process.

Generally IL comes ~1.5 months before the interview +/- 2 weeks. Average waiting time for FB (not IR) - 5-6 months. They go faster now though. So probably your son will get one for Aug or Sept.

Hi Mermaid, here is the list of material my lawyer asked me to prepare, note am current on H1b so that's why all the employment proof related stuff for me. also note he didn't list medical record and criminal record. take a look.

I-485
G-325A
I-864 Affidavit of Support
I-765 Employment Autorization
I-797 Approval Notice
I-94 Arrival Record
Copy of Applicant's Passport
Copy of Applicant's Foreign Birth certificate
Copy of Petitioner's Naturaliation Certificate
Copies of Petitioner's 1040 tax rturn for the past 3 years
should show income over 125% of poverty line
proof of applicant's employment
two to four identical passprt style photographs
g-28 entry of appearance
filing fee
 
Add letter of employment for your sponsor and his/her paystubs for last couple months, translation of your Birth Certificate (unless it's translated), and I also added Birth Certificate of the petitioner (translated). There is bunch of discussions on this forum about the last one, but I've seen at least 2 thread when the original petitioner (who was NOT born in US) was asked to show the BC at the interview.

So kitten, do you think medical record and criminal records should also be included? any opinions on that?

Oh, boy I didn't notice that. Yes, yes, yes, do the medical for sure (I also suggest to check in several offices around you - some may be faster/cheaper). If you won't include the medical most probably you'll get RFE, which will delay everything. I'm really surprised it's not on list. As for criminal - don't worry about it (unless you had issues like DUI or anything worse, which I'm sure you didn't). CIS do fingerprints, which then will be checked for criminal.
