• One G-1145a goes on the front of everything

You don't need immigrant's birth certificate in I-130 (but I guess it doesn't hurt)

You don't need marriage certificate in I-485, unless perhaps if there's a name change or something (but I guess it doesn't hurt)

• Why do you have two? Did you get married twice?

I-864s only needs one year of tax returns, unless you think 3 years helps you much more.

1. Thanks

2. That's what I thought, but I read from some where and I-485, and I-130 might be separated, so I just decided to put birth certificate for I-130 just in case

3. You are right, they don't unless I'm a K-1 fiance visa which I'm not. I'm still contemplating about his. Also,one marriage certificate from my country and it shows I don't have any marriage history before.

4. Yes, that's I was thinking, I don't think it would hurt.
