What do we need?

[DancerGirl18 0]

Me and my husband are working on the adjustment of status. 

 

What exact files do we have to fill out? He currently lives in the US and is on a B-1 visa. 

 

I know we have to do the I-130 and I-145 do we have to do the I-130A as well?

 

thank you.

What do the official instructions say?

 

Also take a look at the guides, don't know if they're up to date, but they're often helpful.

Hello,

I just am a little confused come the botton of this list.

 

With the I-485 does the beneficiary need to submit Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record right away? Or is this something that be asked to provide once the I-485 is filled.  

 

Also, do Form I-864 Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA; Form I-765; and Form I-131 need to be sent alongside the I-130/I-130A and I-485 or are those filled after? 

 

Please clarify.

 

thank you!

Also, my husband is currently working in the USA for a UK company that is selling into the US. Can we use his wage as part of "Affidavit of Support"? As that he has basically a job already here in the US and that we use both these wages to support each other.
