Hi Rajiv ji
I was reading this on given web page and got confused. Could you Please help me understand this law. Does this # 2 option means My or my husband's sister can file I-130 and I-485 or (AOS) for us while we are in USA on F-1 and F-2 Visa.
I would really appreciate if you can respond to this.
There are two basic ways to legally assist your relatives to immigrate into the United States:
1.
If your relatives live in another country , you will file an I-130 petition with USCIS. Please follow the instructions for relatives included with the I-130 petition. On page 3 of the instructions, you will find the addresses where your petition should be filed. Please check our website for any updates on instructions or fees. Make sure your petition
is complete, signed, and submitted with correct fees. You will need to submit evidence of your U.S. citizenship, and evidence proving your relationship to each person for whom you are filing a petition.
2.
If your relatives are already in the United States and entered legally, then they may be able to file an I-485 application to adjust their status to lawful permanent resident at the same time as you file the I-130 relative petition. Petitions filed at the same time with permanent residence applications (I-485) must be filed at a location that is different from where you would file an I-130 petition by itself. Please
read the instructions for the two addresses where concurrent filings can be mailed

The page I was reading didn't mention spouse, children or parent. Just mentioned "relatives of U.S Citizens" Anyways I appreciate your help.
