I'm starting to get confused...I'm trying to file a i485 for my wife who entered here on a K-1 Visa.  trying to get her the green card and i'm reading i do need i130 on one side, i don't need i130 on the other.  I'm also reading where I only have to pay 1225 for the i485+biometrics with all the other docs like i130, i765 etc but I'm also reading I need $535 separetely for the i130...can someone kindly tell me what forms i need and what are the fees i need to pay (and for what form)?   I read the instructions on each forms on their page, but....they are not exactly clear to me as well.

 

thanks in advance

Exactly what sabellic said: if you married within the 90 days, there's no need to file an I-130. You can file the I-765 and the I-131 along with the I-485, with a single fee of $1225 ($1140 + $85 Biometrics fee).
