she came here on a tourist visa. we got married when she was here in the USA. 

 

I am filling the following forms:

 

i-130

i-130A

i-485

i-765

i-864

 

is there another form that needs to be filled out?

It seems that the instructions point me out to send all forms to either:

 

USCIS Chicago Lockbox

For U.S. Postal Service (USPS) deliveries:

USCIS
P.O. Box 805887
Chicago, IL 60680-4120

 

OR *********************************

For FedEx, UPS, and DHL deliveries:

USCIS
FBAS
131 South Dearborn, 3rd Floor
Chicago, IL 60603-5517

 

My wife and I live in the USA. My other question is, do I put all 5 forms into one envelope and send them all out to either address? 

 

forms: 

 

i-130

i-130a

1-485

i-765

i-864

 

pay with credit card or check?

Yes, all in one envelope. Send based on whichever postal service you use. It says so RIGHT THERE bud.

 

I recommend paying with check as credit card transactions sometimes seem to get blocked/denied depending on the card company.

Is there a particular order to assemble each form?

Put that first.  If you want to pay by credit card use the credit card form.

 

And include a G-1145 to get a text / email message for when they get "received"

 

It is still a good idea to include I-131.

You really need to include an I-131, too.........It costs nothing....Many people have failed to file the I-131, then regretted that decision later.......failing to file it has the potential of creating a disaster if your wife has to return to her country in the event of an emergency.
