How to essemble all your concurrent filling from scratch

[Upnext1975]

Guys, how do I apply for adjustment of status from scratch. How do I put together my i130, I 130a, I485, i765, i864, plus All the proofs without a lawyer.
im little confused with how to essemble all including Writing a money check order. Any help would really be appreciated!

Go to YouTube and you will find some people who do just start. I would start there. It would be extremely difficult for someone to tell you exactly how to do that here since your case maybe different from someone else.

My case is a family base through spouse. I was on YouTube but those things are hard to understand. I did all fill out everything all I needed is just putting them together lol

When we consulted a lawyer he said that he do 2 hole punch and use fasteners, he put the 3 or 4 applications first and then he puts all the supporting evidence underneath all together, what I did is that I put every application with it’s supporting documents in a separate envelope and then put the 3 envelopes (i-765, I-485, i-130)in a bigger one along with the photos and the check and form G-1145 .
so I-944and I-864 are parts of I-485 so I put them together
don’t forget to put a cover letter that lists the documents included.
good luck

Thanks a lot! This is so helpful. So how many passports size photos did you took including your spouse?

2 passport photos for me and 2 for my spouse.
I strongly recommend paying the fees using a money order or a cashier's check, if you can afford it (should be like 5-10 dollar sat your bank). This is guaranteed to work, and I read many horror stories of credit card and personal check payments getting denied for stupid reasons (card company thinks it's fraud etc). I have seen many people saying that you have to split the payments/write multiple checks, but this is not true. I sent one single cashier's check addressed to the department of homeland security and all fee payments were accepted.

Thanks again! One goes with i-485 and the other with i-130 same as for my spouse?

Pls check photo requirements in form instructions.
for my parents AOS I ended up submitting 8 for each beneficiary and 4 for me (petitioner). I think it’s a bit more than required, but that’s what I saw recommended here so went ahead with that.

In addition to look at how people assemble them on YouTube, USCIS, on its website, under the I-485 checklist, shows you the basis of arranging your file. Basically, I watch tones of videos on YouTube and read online comments and blogs to put the files together. If you can find this blog, you are probably savy enough to get them done. Tones of checklist and cover letters are online. The cover letter will help see what need to be included.
