Hi everybody,
Its my first time to write on the forum in this section. I read through many topics but here some things still wondering about...Any help would be appreciated.

1- I want to change my status from B1B2 to GC. I have had my immigrant med exam..and waiting for the results. After I have the results, what do I have to file other than I-130 and I-458 and 1-761 (EAC ) ?

2- Do I have to leave the country and come back on marriage visa or I can file and stay here ?

3- what kind of supportive documents should I include in the mailed package ? other than our marriage license and photos.

Thanks.

Follow the guide posted above my comment. You won't get a visa, you will get a green card and whatever you do

DON"T LEAVE THE COUNTRY.......

Regarding the I-485 package guide on this forum, I don't know how the following forms are important in my case and whether they are required to fill in and submit them or not!?

16. I-485 Supplement A, and penalty fee if applicable. See 8 CFR 245.10 17. I-601, Application for Waiver of Grounds of Excludability**, if applicable

Any informative answer on what are these meant for ? Thanks.

Another Question please, as I have to fill in I130 and I458 forms, they need 2 copies of marriage certificate for each form. And I have only one copy. Can I make another copy myself using my copy machine ? Or do I have to issue another original copy from the King County records office ? Also the Birth certificate official translation, the original or copy to submit ?

Items you mentioned are not for your case.

Except forms, all supporting documents are photocopied. Save original for interview. Good luck.

Please I am still confused...because I hear more than one different answer from people here. So to make it clear again...

Regarding the birth certificate, I have only ONE original Birth certificate translated by the department of heatlh and notarized in Egypt. Besides the one in my language ( Arabic ). Now when preparing for two packages I-130 and I-485, they need two certificates for each package, the question is, Are sending photocopies enough or the original translation one is a MUST ? And do I have to attach the one in Arabic too or it's purposeless ?

Thanks

Photocopies of Arabic birth certificate and original translation of it. Remember to keep copy of translation for later.

Unfortunately I have only ONE original translation. And I am supposed to send TWO originals. One for I-130 and another for I-485. So what to do now ??
