Hi guys!

First of all I'd like to say that I'm COMPLETELY lost.

I came to the US to visit my boyfriend. I always come to visit him. I never overstayed my visa, of course.

I'm Brazilian. I hold a tourist visa.

We got married couple days ago.

Which forms should we do? My husband is American.

I'm completely lost. Hope somebody can help us.

Should we hire an attorney?

If I didn't post at the right topic, I'm sorry, just found out about this website.

Thanks in advance.

Jade

If you can afford not to return to Brazil for at least 3 months, possible longer, and are able to get somebody to send your birth certificate to you, then AoS is an option.

You do not need an Attorney to file out forms for you, unless you also have a registered nurse wiping your buttocks when coming out of the bathroom.

The following forms are needed:

I-130 (Petition for an alien relative),

I-485 (AoS),

I-864 (Affidavit of Support),

2 x G-325a (biographic info for both of you),

I-693 (the medical),

I-765 (work permit—EAD), and

I-131 (Advance Parole—AP).

The latter two are optional but FREE when submitted concurrently with the other forms what you want to do anyway, so absolutely file them! Also needed is a check for $1,490. Personal check is okay and preferred as it allows you to trace when it was “cashed.”

After about 10 to 12 weeks you will receive a plastic card which now is a combination of work permit (EAD) and Advance Parole (AP). At about the 3 to 5 months mark, you'll have the interview. Thereafter you will receive your “conditional,” 2-year Green Card.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Thank you! I really appreciate the time you spent to write me those lines and enlight my journey.
