Should I Submit I-485 Same Time As I-130
I joined this community just around a month ago. I have been reading everyone experiences. I’m starting to see that people submitted both their I-130 and I-485 simultaneously. When reading the submitting instructions I interpreted it that you are to submit the I-485 after the I-130 is approved. Are you supposed to bring it to the interview? I also attempted to “file a case online” and the I-485 was not an option. Please educate me.

My advice is, based on how slow this processing is going I would file everything concurrently

It's not too late to submit the i485 packet
Just make sure you add a copy of the receipt notice you got from the i130 and mail it together with your medical.....This is called concurrent filing

if you are inside the US file it but if you are outside the US you can’t file I-485 until after you get to the US.
