A: I would not recommend separating the I-130 from the I-485. I would file both (with the other forms) via mail (i.e. paper application). As to reviewing your application, there are many immigration attorneys that offer document review services. They charge per hour (usually in 15 minute increments) at their hourly rate. You can find an attorney here on Justia.com, Avvo.com or AILA.org. Best wishes.

A: Paper-filing both cases together would be the preferred option. Consider also scheduling a consultation with a competent and experienced immigration attorney who can evaluate fully your case to make sure there are no issues that you are overlooking. Ever since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, many attorneys offer telephonic or online video consultations.
