Just got married and I am filling all the forms for green card based on marriage.

Just want to make sure I am not doing a lot of work and then turning out I am doing it wrong.

Can I download all the forms (I went to the immigration office with my wife and got all the forms but I like to do them on the computer better), fill them out on the computer then print the FILLED forms and just add our signatures "by hand" so to speak?

Read somewhere that you need to fill out the forms with black inc, but then why would they make it possible to fill them out on the computer?

So to keep it short;
Can I download, fill out the forms, THEN print and just use my ink pen to sign by hand?

Sincerely.

Keeping it simple: Yes.

Make sure you dowload them from the uscis.gov website. Most of the forms will display in 'form' mode in Adobe so you can type in the information on the screen and print them neatly.

Thank you all for the quick replies! :)

Yes, I got here 2 years ago on a F1 Student Visa, then found my love after a few months, been together for almost 2 years and 6 weeks ago we got married and had a nice wedding for friends and family. :)

Yes, I am in the USA right now I am following the instructions on the forms yes, and the parts I do not understand I am "googeling", I got the whole package (I hope!!!) of forms from the Immigration Office in Tampa, but my penmanship is horrible so I started to download the same forms to a folder and filling them out on the computer instead.

My wife also likes it better so she can sit in the sofa with the laptop instead of by the table :)

The I-130 and Adjustment of Status guide here on VJ will give you a general overview of the entire process as well as a list of items you'll need to include with your forms. You can check if you have all the required documents there.

You'll also be able to ask questions of people who are in your specific situation over in the Adjustment of Status from Work, Student & Tourist Visas forum. The CR-1/IR-1 forums (where you are now) are for cases where the foreign spouse is not in the US. The two processes are quite different so you'll probably get better answers if you ever need to ask questions specific to adjusting status while in the US at the link above.

Best of luck! :)
