I applied for the I-131 with the expectation of only needing to travel 1 time outside of the country. Now, it seams that we need to travel outside of the country twice during our waiting for the green card. Anyone know if I should send in paperwork to adjust the first I-131, or if the I-131 gives you unlimited travel? I originally requested 8 weeks of travel at 1 specific time frame.

My wife and I just filed our I-130!!!

Did the entire thing myself, well actually completely based on this webpage!

Here's crossing my fingers!

Wow! Thanks for all the quick responses! Looks like you have helped me save some head ache! This website is invaluable to immigrants.

Wait!

Some of those forms are part of other fees..

What are you trying to accomplish? Are you already married? Are you adjusting status?

You can file the I-485, the I-765, and the I-131 all together (for $1010) AFTER you are married and living in the states together (assuming you got married in the States).

If you married overseas and are trying to bring your wife over, then it's a different story.. you'll go for a K-3 Visa..

So let us know what your current situation is and we can better advise...

Good luck!

I am filling out the following forms.

I-130 - $355

I-485 - $1010

I-864 - $70

I-765 - $340

I-131 - $305

Do I need a money order for each form? Or can I just get 1 money order for $2080???

Thanks for the help!

My situation.

I (US citizen) am living with Tina (German citizen) in the US. She is here on a F1 visa. We are getting married in 3 weeks and I am preparing the forms in advance.

I am filling out the I-130 for Petition of Alien Residence.

She is filling out the I-485 and subsequent forms (I-864, I-765, and I-131).

We are planning on submitting these forms together in the same packet. I am just trying to figure out how to pay the USCIS.

I am filling out the following forms.

I-130 - $355

I-485 - $1010

I-864 - $70

I-765 - $340

I-131 - $305
