请教8老师：

我本人是绿卡持有人，去年给太太及当时13岁的小孩提交了I-130，有收到收据（收据上的收据日期与优先日期均是04/20/2023），但是一直没有收到I-797C，今年7月，太太与小孩已入境美国，我准备提交I-485，现有以下几个问题，我还不是太明白，

1.没有收到I-797C，我是否可以提交I-485？

2.我看到当前8月排期表B上F2A是06/15/2024，那我I-130收据上的优先日期是04/20/2023，是否意味着我可以提交I-485？还是说必须要基于I-797C上的优先日期？

-Thhe priority date is the date USCIS reeceived your I-130 application which is shown in your I-130 Receipt Notice. So, if your priority date is current, your kid can file I-485 if your kid has a legal status in US such as B2. Based on USCIS I-485 filing chart, your kid can file I-485 in August based on B Form if he/she is physically present in US now with a legal status and meet the 90-day rule.

3.I-130提交了一年多了，还没有收到I-797C，也没有要求补充文件，也没有拒绝，这正常吗？

-Yes.

4.网上说家人入境后要90天后再提交I-485，但是咨询了当地的白人律师，他说30天后就可以提交了？

-The lawyer proabbly is based on the old 30/60-day rule to make this suggestions. But USCIS has replaced this 30/60-day rule rule with a new 90-day rule for all applicants in 2017. So, your kid had beter follow the 90-day rule t0 file I-485, i.e., wait for 90 days from the date he/she entered US using B2 visa and then, file I-485.

See this link for the 90-day rule for I-485 filing (adjustment of status):

The USCIS 90-Day Rule (immigrationhelp.org)

5.当地有白人律师（收费很贵）和社区律师，我研究了很多案例，基本清楚需要准备与提交哪些材料，我想自行提交，或请社区律师提交，但是又担心还有什么未知项，有什么好建议？

-Not need a lawyer. It is simple procedure.

6.由于我本人在美收入低，因此可能需要共同担保人，但是我是否可以提供太太在国内的存款单或房产证明？

-Is your spouse a Green card holder or US citizen. If yes, then she may use her assets in China for I-864 as long as these assests can be convertiable to cash within 12 months and the assets can be removed from China (i.e., she can bring the cash from the asset conversion out of China based on the Chinese law).
