Few questions of I-130 and 1-485 packages...

[Milita 1]

Hi all,

I'm filling out allthe paperwork and have few questions, maybe somebody can help me!

To start, I was engagedto my now husband and planned to get married by the end of this year, but I cameto visit him last may (for two weeks), as I always did before… but we were sotired of traveling and saying good bye (for 4 years) that we decided to get marriedin that moment!

So now I'm in avisitor visa and I'm filling all the paperwork.. so here are my questions:

* Form I-130:

Part C, question 17

"Information aboutyour alien relative" "List husband/wife and all children of your relative"

Who do I have to listin that part? In the form example they put the USC name. In my case I'm the alien(wife), he is the USC.. what name do I have to put there?

Question 19

"Your relative's addressabroad"

If I'm already in theUnited States, do I have to write down my address abroad (well were I used tolive before coming to USA and getting married?

* I-130 package:

Do I need to submit anoriginal of my marriage certificate? Or just a photocopy?

What about my birthcertificate? Is it the original + translation or a photocopy + original translation?

In my country we alsouse the mother's last name, so I had two last names, for example PerezRodriguez … in almost all forms it ask me "Other names used (include Maiden Name)"..I list my second last name (Rodríguez in the example, because my I-94 has thislast name on it… and my last name after marriage is hyphen so I still have my maidenname… What do you guys think?

* Form I-765:

Question 16:"Eligibility categories"… I think mine is C9, can somebody confirm please?

Do I have to pay tosubmit this form? Under this category? I read something about not having to paythe $340 it cost…

* Form I-485:

Part 2: application type: I'm not sureif I have to check the letter a, since I'm submitting this form with the I-130package… ?

* Form I-864:

My husband is going tobe my sponsor. So in part 6, number 23: "My current individual annual incomeis"… should I write there the amount of money he reported in 2009 taxes?

* I-485 package:

I have two passports(my actual non expire one) and an expire one where my visitor USA visa is on…do I have to photocopy biographical page and entry stamps on the old passporttoo? Or just the photocopy of the page where the visitor visa is?

* I'm confuse on how manychecks do I have to send? Is it one for the I-130 form ($365), one for theI-864 ($70), one for the I-485 ($1,010)… and one for the I-765 ($??) That's all?

Thanks a lot for yourhelp!
