Hi,

I am new to visajourney.

I was reading all the forms that I need to submit and I was wondering which box should I select on the I485 form if I am on a F1 visa.

Do I need to send the I-130 first and then fill-out all the other forms?

I am really confused.

Best,

You asked what box to check on I-485, did you not? It is A.

You want to do a I-130/I-485 concurrent filing. Imagine those forms are 2 big umbrellas, with other forms underneath them. You need to send all these forms together.

I was reading the guide on this website and it said:

Step-by-Step Guide on How to File an I-130 for a Spouse Inside the US

1. I-130
2. G-325a
3. I-864
4. I-485
5. I-765 (optional)
6. I-131 (optional)
7. G-1145 (optional)

However, it is my undertanding that I will also need to submit I693. Am I incorrect?

Best,

Maria
