Because i wasn't supposed to get married, when i came in the us last summer it was to visit my boyfriend and i stayed at his place, then we got married,and even since i am in the US when should i say his place became "our place" you know what i mean

Hmm? You put to "present." Don't leave anything blank.

Your husband should really be filling out this form, it is his to petition for you.

My husband thins he is donr with the I130/ G325A (both)

He also filled out the I864 but he needs to get the transcript tax returns ( which is gona take around 10 days)

I am filling out the I765 then ill start the I485

Just to make sure are the the only forms i have to fill out? I am not planing on going back to France until i we get the decision from the immigration about the green card so i dont need to fill out the I131 i guess..

Am I good??

I just have one more question: when we bought our marriage licence, they asked me if i wanted to take my husband name and i accepted. But i didn't get any documents telling me the change. On my marriage certifcate it s says that my husband and i got married under my maiden name..

what document can proove the change of name??

Thanks for your help!!!

Your marriage certificate is proof of name change for USCIS, if you choose to change your name.

thats why it is weird cause ive chosen to change my name but on my marriage certificate they kept my maiden name, so i guess they made a mistake, and i still have my name

Welcome here!

Follow this guide: http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2

No need for a lawyer, your case is pretty simple. It's a lot of work to assemble all the paperwork, but it's not that complicated. Just make sure that you read the PDF instructions for EACH form. They are all on the uscis.gov website.

Overstay is forgiven for spouses of US citizen, but better file sooner than later.

I-130 package is filed by your US spouse. I-485 is done by you. Most questions about forms are already answered many time on the VJ forums, so you can quickly do a search through the search bar on the top right of this page. You can find answers very quickly. smile.png

Hi! as u have been very helpful so far i have a few questions:

We went through kind of evrery forms. I still have some verification to do to make sure evrything is ok>

FORM I 485: i believe i have to fill out form 693 Part3: last status you enter: Visitor VWP, then for nonimmigrant visa i put N/A, same for consulate where visa was issue, because i do ot have a visa but an exemption of visa correct??

FORM I765: n14: VWP Visitor n15: VWP Visitor n16: ©(9) (380 dols fee)

and i think for the rest we are good....

EAD is free when filed with I-485. Please read the instructions.

Form I-693 is a medical exam performed and filled out by a civil surgeon. You do not fill out the form, the Civil Surgeon does. You need to schedule a medical on your own and send the results with your AOS package. You can find civil surgeons near you on uscis.gov.

Harpa answered you already. I advise you to file also form I-131. It is also free when filed with I-485, and even if you don't plan to come back to France, there may still be an emergency. Plus it's not much more documents to include.

Also, even if some forms ask for the same documents, make sure you include all the documents for each applications (e.g. 2 passport pics for I-485, 2 more for I-765, etc...). Prepare each applications (I-130, I-485, I-765, I-131) like if they were separate.

You have to go see a civil surgeon accredited by the USCIS. Call several around in your area and compare their price. It's not cheap...

For the USCIS, you basically have 2 things to pay: the I-130 and the I-485.
