Hi everyone!

I'm new to all of this so please bare with me while I get a grasp one things,

Here is my background.

Came to America, in 2004 on j1 visa, left within the time frame, didn't over stay.

Returned to America in 2011, came for some xmas shopping and never went home, I just love it so much here in New York. Came on esta visa

I met an amazing guy, feel in love and we are getting married soon.

I would like to do the paperwork myself.

I know we need To file an i130

After that I'm lost, I've read so many threads but I'm lost on terminology and so on

I know I need to adjust my status.

My questions are

1. What documents should I start to gather for my own application

2. What documents does my hubbie need to gather, i.e. Tax returns etc.

3. Can I apply for advanced parole, if so when?

Thank you all so much

Follow this guide and download all the mentioned documents from USCIS.gov. By the way you're eligible to apply for advance parole and you'll be sending all those documents concurrent in one envelope to the lockbox address in Chicago. Good luck, and ask questions whenever you're lost in the process. http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2
