Process to file forms I-130 online and adjustment of status

[alv&josh 34]

 

Hello!! Good morning, hope you are safe. I'm very new here!
I recently got married with my (now) husband and we are filing and gathering all the information to file all the forms we need, now that things are being processed online I have some questions, I created an Account at the USCIS and my husband, who is american has been filling it from there, it is still on a draft. Me (I'm from Peru) have been gathering all the evidence, filling de I-130 A too, but I don't know about the I-485. Do I file that form online too? can we share the same USCIS account to file the forms? or some of them are filed online and some of them need to be mailed. Thanks a lot for your help.

Are you inside the USA?

 

 

The i485 is filed ONLY if you are presently in the USA.  I485 cannot be filed online.   In this situation it is recommended to do all filings (i130, i485, i765, i131) by mail

Thank you for replying. Yes I'm in the US right now. So I should just print everything. Do you know if the time of processing is the same? thanks a lot

No difference because the timing is based on the i485

Perfect, Thanks for the reply, we will redo and print everything. So basically I need to print this 7 forms: i130, i130A, i485, i765, i131, i864 (affidavit of support) and mail it all together?

Yes, you assemble each as a separate filing but include all in a single mailing

You might also want to think about submitting form I-944. I know there is a bit of a legal tennis match going on right now as to whether it’s required or not, but I have seen several people who did not initially submit it getting RFEs requiring them to do so.

It’s to demonstrate to the government that you won’t be a public charge i.e., that you won’t be relying on certain types of public benefits. It asks questions regarding both the petitioner and the beneficiary.
