I (USC) am filling out the forms for my wife (B2 visitor now starting AOS process) using the examples and advice on this site with a lawyer. Does that make me the preparer? Do I need to fill out that little section at the end of most of the forms or is that only used by a lawyer?

For example, on the I-765, it seems like I could be the preparer with no issues, but on the I-131, it talks about submitting a form G-28.

Also on the I-693, I filled out the part as the interpreter since my wife doesn't speak english.

What have you done on your forms and how did it go?

I realize I probably put a lousy title on this question, but does anyone have an answer? Is a preparer only a lawer or is it the petetioner filling out forms for the immigrant?

A preparer in the sense it was used means a paid preparer, someone that you hired to assist you in filing the form. If you did it yourself, you should leave that section blank.
