Hello I read all the guide line on this website to gather information on which forms I need to send and how, since I don't want to hire an attorney for it, but i m quiet confused and I m asking if there is someone reading this topic who has had the same story, here is mine : I came into U.S. with I-94W and for some personal reason I had to overstay and that was 4 years a go, about 3 years a go I met, who is now my wife, and decided to get marry about 2 months a go. With all the reading I understood that I need to submit the I-130 plus the I-485 along with G-325A what about the I-864? is that necessary? then there is the I-765 which I will send and the I-131 that are optional, also can I send all of this documents all together? is there someone who did it on her/his own?? thank you!

Your US spouse has to file I-864 to prove she is capable to support you without you being a public discharge.

You file I-130, I-485/I-864/I-693 (medical exam form) / I-131/ i-765 concurrently.

Done with K1, AOS and ROC

How long did you overstay? If you're saying you've been in the US illegally for the past four years, you will most definitely be in trouble. As far as I understand, you will then need to leave the US for at least two years before being allowed to come back on a visa.

Overstay is forgiven for the spouse of a US Citizen; the OP will not have to go anywhere.
