Good morning: What documents are required to file green card for parents of a US citizen? Can we file I-130, I-485 together? Do we need to fill up any other forms? Experience from recent petitioners will be appreciated. https://www.uscis.gov/i-130 Thanks and Happy holidays!

Copy of Your Certification of Naturalization Copy of your Your Birth Certificate Displaying your father and mother's name Copy of Parents' Marriage Certificate Make sure NAMES on your Birth certificate matches with Parents' birth certificates and Marriage Certificate. Copy of Parents' Passport's Biography page. If your parents are in Nepal, you start with I-130. If your parents are in USA, you can file Both 130 and 485 together.
