apply for adjustment of status or citizenship directly

Kindly, clarify if I need to fill in these forms as well while dispatching a packet including I-130 and I-485: 1) I-864, Affidavit of Support 2) I-765, Application for Employment Authorization

OR these are sent later

Many Thanks

You are curently here in the US legally on a tourist visa which expires in 4.5 months. After that time you will be in the US illegally if you remain beyond the expiration date on your I-94--I would print out a copy of this for your records. You will file the I-130 and I485 per the guides here on VJ along with all supporting documentaition. Up to you whether you want to file the EAD and/or AP (advance parole), but since you cannot work on a tourisst visa your situation will remain the same except now you cannot leave and re-enter the US until you have AP or the GC as once you start this process the tourist visa is no longer valid for you to use for travel.

and you need to educate yourself better, she is here on a tourist visa, she is here legally, so please don't talk down to people if you are going to be ignorant, just stay quiet.

Becoming legal aka having a" green car" 1st is the step to having citizenship.. not just being here.. the poster was speaking logic

I think what she meant was that she is used a tourist visa to go to USA with intent of migrating, and that's considered visa fraud. Unless she went to visit and then changed her mind.
