I arrived here in the US on Nov 8th 2011 on a K1 Visa.

We got married 29th Dec 2011 and we JUST received our Marriage Certificate.

I have looked at the threads here and see that a I-485 and I-864 with a G-325a need to be submitted. But we also have a book entitled "Fiance and Marriage visas - A couples guide to US marriage visas" in which it says my husband should submit form I-130.

What is the correct procedure for us? It's a little confusing to see one thing here and read another elsewhere =\

Thanks in advance for any advice.

No I-130 needed

So does that mean I send in a copy of my I-129F and NOA2?

Follow this guide. No I-130 needed. You are AOSing based off of your approved I-129F and subsequent marriage to the petitioner within 90 days of your arrival. Yes you will need to show the NOA2 for I-129F. If you read the I-485 instructions there will be a tickbox for that option - should make more sense to you then. Bad book! Burn it! :)

AOS for my husband
8/17/10: INTERVIEW DAY (day 123) APPROVED!!

ROC:
5/23/12: Sent out package
2/06/13: APPROVED!

If you want to work before you get your green card also file I-765 for EAD. If you want to travel outside the US and then be allowed to enter again before you get your green card file I-131 for advanced parole. If you file these two documents with your AOS (I-485) you will save the respective fees.

Follow the guides...the guides are good.

There's an AOS thread in my signature that should help you :)

No I-130 as long as you married in the 90 days and have been married less than 2 years.

Thank you for all your help :)
