 hello everyone, Can we apply I-130 and 485 together? Or should I wait to file 485 once I-130 gets approved? My wife she is in Nepal right now. Any advice and help would be appreciated?

 Chiyachurot, You can only file I-130 if your spouse is outside United States. Your spouse will be notified for further processing once your I-130 gets approved.  I think I-485 can only be filed for adjustment of status if the beneficiary is in the United States.

 If your wife is in Nepal. You don;t need to/required to file I485. That is what called as Consular Processing for I130. If benificary is already in US they can either do a Consular Processing or Adjustment of Status. For beneficary outside of Nepal Consular Processing is the only way to go.  Last edited: 19-Aug-13 12:47 PM
