Don't bother applying for the travel permission (I-131) - you can't travel until you have your GC or you will be banned from the US for the overstay. Otherwise, should be straightforward. Good luck!

You need to file all of the forms in that guide, read them all, the instructions, everything three times over. Study it. Then ask questions on what is not clear to you. There are a lot of forms.

You will need to enclose one check for $1,490 in your AoS package, plus . . . you'll have to pay for the medical from an approved civil surgeon, which costs anywhere between $150 and $450, so shop around.

Bruno regarding the money aspect of the process, the total fee for your AOS package (I-130,I-485,I-765) will be 1490 dollars

P.S. Ops,I just saw that you already got an answer for that

Please read the instructions. It says in the form instructions both the price and who to make it out to. There is a lot of information there you need to know. If you don't know it, you will fail.

read the instructions VERY THOROUGHLY and REPEATEDLY. learn as much as you can about the process, inside and out. read lots of threads here on VJ. google things. the more you know, the smoother your journey will be!

i was lucky to have found VJ before my husband and i began the immigration process and have been able to benefit from the knowledge and community here for years. VJ has made all the difference in the world!

(awww. that was sappy of me! thanks guys!)
