Yup, it's nerve-wracking.

Do go to the top of this forum and find all the into well laid out.

And as Len said, do come back with more specific questions once you dive in.

This is what you should go by: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...mp;page=k1k3aos

If you are going to file for the I-765 and the I-131 as well, you will also need 2 passport photo like pictures for those forms, so you will need a total of 6 passport like photos for the whole packet..what we did was, we went to walmart and got one set of passport pictures for $10 then we scanned them on my computer and printed 4 more on photo paper, people on here said that it shouldn't be a problem, so i hope that its not!

Make sure that if you are the sponsor that you meet the 125% poverty line for everyone in your household, if not, you will need a co-sponsor or a joint sponsor (if someone else is working and is living with you) This is what i went by:

http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_1327.html

The G-325A - it will be 4 forms, all of them are the same and they need to be signed and dated and sent in, dont only send in one, send ALL 4!

If you have already had a medical exam then you wont need to see a civil surgeon, we had to go to one to get the I-693...we found a guy that charged us $295 for everything, he was the cheapest in GA, from what we found, most charged over $400, some even $500! its crazy! But if you have to see a civil surgeon as well, go to uscis.gov and look for civil surgeons that are in your area...be sure to call around your state to make sure you get a good surgeon, there are a few here in GA who rip you off and dont do everything that you need done!

I am sending out my AOS packet tomorrow, i am just telling you all the things that i didnt know about at first and thought i would share what i have already learned so far. I hope i helped you out some!

Good Luck!!
