I’m confident I can handle the process on my own, as it seems relatively straightforward—I actually assisted my sister (with the help of awesome people from another forum) in obtaining her green card after marrying a U.S. citizen, without the need for an attorney, and everything went smoothly.
Please, someone out there who can help me verify the list of Forms we need to fill out and let me know if I am missing something.
I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) (Child fills this form out, one for each parent)
I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status) (each parent, correct?)
I-131 (Application for Travel Documents, Parole Documents, and Arrival/Departure Records) (no plans to travel, do we have to fill it out? is there a fee nowadays? Looks like the fee is not longer included with I-485)
I-765 (Application for Employment Authorization)
I-864 (Affidavit of Support)
I-693 (Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record)
G-325A (Biographic Information (for Deferred Action) --> do we need this one? my sister did. (looks like no longer needed?)
Form G-1145, E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance (is this a good idea?? I think it is.)
I see it's possible to file I-130 online now. In the past when I helped my sister, she sent one big package with all the forms and evidence at the same time to the same address. How do we go with it nowadays?
File I-130 online and wait for NOAs/approvals and then send the rest of the forms/documents/evidence as one package to the right place? or;
File I-130 online and drop in the mail everything else at the same time?
At this moment, I'm done with mine and my wife's paper I-130s (drafts). I have questions, but let's take one step at a time.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
