? reguarding I-485
Hi everyone,
I am currrently filling in forms I-130 and I-485, im told that i need to file these together as opposed to filing I-130 first, even though the I-130 needs to be approved before i can file I-485 *deep breath*.
My problem is that i have stumbled accross part of the I-485 that asks "current ins status" followed by "expires on" do i need to fill it in as though my I-130 has already been approved? if so what would my status be at that juncture? and how would i know when that expires?
If however i am to state my current status before the I-130 is approved, as i came in on a visa waiver and have not yet had any contact with the ins, what does that make me now? (status wise).
hope all that made sense
Thanks for any help

No -- the I-130 has to be approved before the I-485 can be *approved.* For
immediate relative cases, INS has set up a process in which the forms are
*filed* simultaneously, and then, if all goes well, they will both be
approved, one after the other, on the same day, the day of your interview.
*deep breath*.

"Current INS status" is "WT" (or maybe "WB" -- check to make sure). It is
indicated on your I-94.

Experts,
How much time it takes INS to process advance parole?
Their web site says 30 to 60 days. And timing for INS service center states
"Current"
30 days have already passed and still waiting.
Any clue?
Thanks
