前天查到爸妈绿卡批准了，等待寄卡中。顺便更新一下Timeline 吧。

2021.Feb 485/130/765/131 同时递交
2021.June 打指纹
2021. Oct 收到EAD/AP combo card， 还有SSN
2022. Jan 查到485/130批准。等待寄卡。

爸妈都是DY， 如实填写，也根据实际情况写的explanation of past membership statement, 比较幸运，没面试。

加几点更新：
1） i944 部分不再需要。
2）亲属关系公证是optional, 不是必须。
3）无犯罪公正美国境内申请是optional, 不是必须。
4）如果是给母亲申请，结婚证公正是optional, 但是父亲申请，必须有结婚证公正。
5）美国境外申请流程不同，材料需求也不完全一样。我这个list 是美国境内申请的。

是,只有子女是米国公民、才能帮父母申请绿卡。

大米送上，帮父母申请绿卡的话我们子女是不是必须成为公民？

我一年前给我妈妈申请，上周五APP通知绿卡已经批了。历时一年，不过因为疫情的原因打指纹延迟了7个月，所以纯处理时间算5个月。
我妈妈没有面试，我觉得现在大多数是不需要面试的了，只要你材料齐全担保够，就直接批了。
我也没请律师自己弄的，连个补材料都没要求，不过她不是DY
祝你好运！

多谢，看来时间会拉的比较长。

子女是公民，给父母申请绿卡需要排期吗？看哪一个类别？谢谢

不需要排期，在美国境内申请130/485 可同时递交。在境外申请，交130 approved 之后在广州面试然后发移民签证，入境美国等绿卡。我忘写了，这个check list 是美国境内申请。

不需要排期啊，真好，谢谢你的信息

现在不都是电子申请了吗？为什么还需要写letter？

485是美国境内调整身份，不能电子申请，只有130可以网上申请。130和485 可以一起递交，现在大部分人的境内申请的建议是放在一个包裹里寄lockbox, 而不是130电子申，然后485 邮寄，USCIS本来效率就不高，这样更容易造成case delay。你要是境外申请，当然可以130电子申，反正要批了以后才能下一步。
