Topic: Switching passports/citizenship while processing I-130

Thanks for your post, Amazon! For the cases who can file concurrently, they say the following - [b]Who can file concurrently?[/b] Concurrent filing is allowed in the following instances: [list][*]Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens living in the United States [*]Most employment based applicants and their eligible family members when a visa number is immediately available [*]Special Immigrant Juveniles [*]Self petitioning battered spouse or child if [*]The abusive spouse or parent is a U.S. citizen, or [*]The abusive spouse or parent is a U.S. citizen, or [*]If an immigrant visa number is immediately available [*]Certain Armed Forces Members applying for a special immigrant visa under Section101(a)(27)(K) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)Special Immigrant International Organization Employee or family member[/list] Does this mean, being a LPR, I don't get to file or because the immigrant visa number is immediately available, I still get to file concurrently? If we can apply for I-485 in parallel, then as soon as the priority date becomes current and we get approved, USCIS will start to process I-485. That means the only wait time for us will be the time it takes for USCIS to provide us the conditional green-card document. Is that right? With the F2A cases becoming current, at that time (or before) if we have I-130 filed, would it be a matter of getting an approval? There's no wait time involved. Is that right? Appreciate your response! HR

Topic: Switching passports/citizenship while processing I-130

I have LPR status and I am in the process of applying for I-130 for my spouse. She has an Indian passport currently and is in the process of obtaining Singapore passport. Does switching the passports or citizenship while I-130 application is in the process going to affect the dependent/conditional LPR application process? Also, if we file for I-130 and when the F2A category becomes current in the next few months (as per July Visa Bulletin), are we going to be able to apply for I-485 right away? Could you please elaborate on the F2A becoming current? Thanks!
