How to Apply for a Green Card- Do it Yourself

[JohnnyCash]

There are some very good information on this thread to guide you thru this process of AOS (green card). Check and review the following sites as well to know more about the process-

But I would like to say something first. It's my suggestion that everyone should add the timeline of their case thru their signature along with their location (like state or district office). I know most people don't put their location in their timeline which makes their timeline useless for others because people cannot base their timeline or have any idea based upon someone who doesn't belong to their district office. Thus, if you do want to help each other, then do a favor on everyone by adding the location of yours to your timeline.

Also, whenever someone receives a RFE, people should mention why RFE was for so that other people would know what to send with their application to avoid any RFE. If you do want to give back to the people on here and help them as you get help from here then don't forget to mention on your signature line about location and what RFE was for. It will greatly help others.

Further, when you decide to send your application to USCIS, make sure many times that-

(1) to use the updated/latest or acceptable form/application than the outdated one. Thus, go on USCIS website to see/find the latest version of application.

(2) Always make sure about the current processing fees for the application thru USCIS site as processing fees do change.

(3) Always sign the applications/petitions...If possible, sign the orginial with blue ink to differentiate orginal from copied one.

(4) Always put the payment for the processing fees on the top.

However, there is something I would like you to know about Receipt Number, though...

What does my USCIS case number mean?

Your receipt contains a case number that USCIS assigns to your case. It is in the following format (ignore the dashes): aaa-xx-yyy-z-mmmm, where

aaa: The service center that received your case. For example:

SRC - Texas Service Center (formerly Southern Regional Center),
LIN - Nebraska Service Center (named after Lincoln, NE),
WAC - California Service Center (formerly Western Adjudication Center) and
EAC - Vermont Service Center (formerly Eastern Adjudication Center).

xx: The fiscal year of USCIS, from October 1 to September 30. Cases filed from 10/01/2006 to 09/30/2007 will have xx = 07

yyy: The working day of the fiscal year when your case is received. 10/01 = 001

z: Either 5 (in database) or 0 (paper files)

mmmm: A serial number assigned to your case based on the number of cases received, starting from 0001

It's worth to read all the relevant information from above cited sites as well to make your case approvable.

AD - Approval Date (When your application was approved)

Sorry, I should have looked on the USCIS website, the Case Status Online link is right there.

[nkumar7]

If you would like to handle your application yourself, read on and I hope this will be helpful to you. These instructions are probably most helpful to those of you who are in a similar situation to what I was in when I started the application process, i.e-

1. You are in the US legally and have not overstayed (I don’t know how overstaying affects your application; I was on a H1-B).
2. You are marrying a US citizen, and this is a legitimate marriage.
3. You want to adjust your status to become a GC holder.

With a little modification, I am sure you can use these instructions even if your situation is somewhat different from that described above (applying for parents etc).

These instructions are NOT the official how-to guide, and I am not a qualified attorney, so these instructions should not be taken as legal counsel. That said, I think that the process of applying for a Green Card (GC) through marriage to a US citizen (USC) might look complicated at first, but is fairly simple for someone of average intelligence. I managed just fine on my own and so far my process has been going quite smoothly, I have not had any RFE’s (Request For Evidence) so far although it is very early in the game.

Keep in mind that if you are just starting today, this whole process will take you about 3-4 weeks, so be prepared. It takes time to get all the required documentation together, and to proof read and check and re-check (what an attorney would hopefully do for you) everything before mailing it.

These are the forms you/your spouse will need to file:

Your USC Spouse files:

I-130, Petition for Alien Relative (your spouse files this); fee at this time is $355, click to see most current filing fee, download form and instructions.

You (the GC applicant) file:

I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status (this is your main application form); fee at this time is $1010, click to see most current filing fee, download form and instructions.

I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, to be filed with your I-485 (this has to be filled out by your civil surgeon. If you have had the BCG vaccination, your TB test will most probably be positive, so ask for a chest x-ray at the same time to save time if it is not suggested). This will take about 3-4 days and probably cost between $160-220 depending on your doctor, find an approved doctor here. Click to download form and instructions.

I-864, Affidavit of Support, to be filled out by your spouse and/or another sponsor, filed with your I-485. Check instructions to see if you can use the I-864EZ instead, it is shorter. Make sure you qualify for it. Click to download form and instructions.

I-765, Application for Employment Authorization (this is your ‘work permit’ and is optional, although most people file it); fee is $0 if you file with your I-485 or after your I-485 has been received by USCIS, click to download form and instructions.

I-131, Application for Travel Document (this is your advance parole application, if you want to travel before you have your green card in your passport/in your hand, also optional), fee is $0 if you file with your I-485 or after your I-485 has been received by USCIS, click to download form and instructions.

G-325A, Biographic Information. Fill out 2 copies for the applicant and 1 for the USC spouse, 1 for each goes with I-130 and 2nd applicant form goes with I-485. Click to download form and instructions.

Passport photos- You will need about 7 for the applicant and 1 for the USC spouse, get extras in case you mess up.

My suggestions on how to do this:

- Print out all the forms and instructions from the USCIS website, make sure you are filing close to when you print- check the version date and make sure it is the most recent or acceptable.
- Read the instructions, highlighting what else you need to send along with the form. Make sure you are sending enough documents from each required category.
- Make a list of all these items, and get them together.
- Fill out all the forms, sign and date them.
- Organize each application separately; do not send any original documents other than the forms unless specifically asked to do so.
- Print out cover letters for each application, this will also serve as checklists for yourself. I have attached the templates I used at the bottom. It is YOUR responsibility to check that the fees/forms used are current, and the requirements for supporting documents etc. have not changed. This was accurate at the time I applied for my AOS and as you can see from my timeline I have been successful so far.
- Clip each application securely with a large paper clip/put it in a separate plastic envelope/secure it in a way you like.
- Make sure once again that you have included everything, re-read the instructions at this point to see if you missed anything. This is probably what you would pay an attorney hundreds of dollars to do.
- Put all the applications in 1 big strong folder, seal it and mail it off!! If you are sending all the 4 applications together (and if you can, you should), they should go to the address on the I-130 instructions, i.e. to the Chicago Lockbox.
- Most importantly, READ ALL instructions carefully and more than once, this will save you time in the end.

If this was helpful to you, please give this post 5 stars and hopefully it will become a sticky. It would have made my life easier if I had seen something like this when I was starting my process.
With these instructions and other help on these forums, you should have a pretty easy time. Good luck.

nkumar7,

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

Didn't this answer your question?
http://boards.immigration.com/showth...02#post1930402

It explicitly explains where to send it if you are filing the I-130 and I-485 concurrently.

[beemer8]

TNguy78, yes it did until i read nkumar7 posting and he advised to send it to the address on i-485, on form i-130 it gives a different address then the one on form i-485, i am not trying to waste anyones time by asking redundant ??, i have spent a lot of time preparing my documents and don't want to send it to the wrong address, especially with no lawyer i am bing extra cautious..in any case thanks for your reply and guidance.

Ok - I understand. I think nkumar7's advice to send to the address in the I-485 form is contrary to the I-130 forms. I'm not sure why nkumar7 says to follow the I-485 form.

I filled it my whole package according to the I-130 form and it arrived fine, I got my FP appt and the I got my EAD and AP approvals and so far no RFE's. So I guess the address I used was the right one.

Hmmm....I think I made a mistake (see, not a lawyer!) but it should be fine. I DID send all my forms to the address on the I-485 instructions and my applications all seem fine, I got all my notices in a timely manner (including the I-130- see timeline below). I just had my FP yesterday and now I'm waiting for the interview letter I guess. No RFE's yet.

So follow the instructions on the I-130, but in case you have already sent it to the I-485 address, you probably don't need to worry. Sorry about that. I'll change that part in my original post.

Chicago opens all the mail and sends out fingerprint notices and RFEs for blatantly missing documents (usually within a couple of weeks of submission).

Then they forward the app to Missouri (MSC), where it sits in a 2 month line to be reviewed.

I'm a 5/25 ND, and just got my first review (an RFE request). The early-June filers should be getting updates in about 1.5 weeks.

For G-325A form, do you submit all the 5 copies with the application I-130 and the I-485? I think thats the case, but just wanted to confirm it.

[PraetorianXI]

One, it is not 5 copies... each G-325a set has 4 copies.

Two, if you fill them out using acrobat reader on a PC (or Mac ) then when you fill out the first page, the other 3 are filled out automatically.

Three, you need to submit 3 sets: Two sets for the I-130 (filled out by both USC and Alien) and one set for the I-485 (filled out by Alien).

Four, make sure you SIGN and DATE every copy of each set.

[beemer8]

cr.marsh,
I know its confusing let me explain, hopefully this helps.
each G-325 application has 4 pages and all 4 pages are the same hence its referred as copies.

Now print out 3 sets ( each set has 4 pages)

1 filled by you, 2 filled by your spouse attach both these with your i-130.

3rd set filled by the applicant ie the one who is getting his/her status adjusted and attach with i-485

With regard to the address:
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services P.O. Box 805887 Chicago, IL 60680-4107

is the address given on i-130 i sent it here and that is the correct address if your sending all 4 applications : ie i-130,i-485,i-765,i-131 and supporting documents like the G-325a, i-864, Birth certi etc.

[nikkonstar]

I wouldnt be so quick to answer that.

I did a quick research, forms I485, I765 and I131 state that if you are filing concurrently then the address is PO BOX 805887, CHICAGO IL 60680-4120.

Only I-130 says that the address is PO BOX 805887, CHICAGO IL 60680-4107.

If you look at instructions in the I130, on page 4 there are two addresses, the above address has the same zip code + 4 as the below, which is next to impossible in the USPS database. Any address with different PO BOX most likely should have different zip code + 4.

So a quick check at USPS zipcode lookup told me that the zip code +4 on the forms I480, I765, I131 are the correct ones. The one on the I130 doesnt exist.

Use this link (http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/welcome.jsp) and just enter in the PO box number and city+state, leave out the zip code, hit submit and that will tell you what the zip code is for a particular PO Box, the zip code in I130 instructions is a misprint.

So the correct address is PO BOX 805887, CHICAGO, IL 60680-4120.

For those who sent it to I130 zipcode, I dont think there is a need to worry, because USPS probably sent it to the PO BOX number using the zip code and not zip code +4.

Yes, either a multilingual BC (that includes an English translation) is ok, or a certified translation to English of the BC in native language.

Also plastic envelopes, where can you get these? Went to walmart and they looked at me with a blank stare when I asked.

If you have atrocious handwriting (like me) use Adobe. The nice thing about most forms (except I think 864) is that you can save what you entered. Also, there is no ambiguity in typed text (in contrast to hand written).

Why do you need plastic envelopes? Any sturdy paper envelope will work just as well.

[woodenshoe101]

yes you need ALL 4 pages of G325A.

If you use Adobe to fill it out, it will do the last 3 automatically so you have enter all info only once. Don't forget to SIGN ALL 4 pages though.

[woodenshoe101]

Any suggestions?? How you did it? I know one option is to just write the address by hand and try to fit in everything.

Thanks

Yeah, space is a problem on some forms - especially with adobe where you can't change the font size. Make sure you use lower case (all caps takes up to 20% more space) and if it really doesn't fit, then hand write it. Also if you can, use short addresses (eg, "N Green St" instead of "North Green Street")

[woodenshoe101]

864 is not notarized and USCIS does not care about expired passports.

Could you give a little bit more detailed time line? (also tell about all visas you held)

Overstay will be forgiven if you file for GC based on marriage to a USC. However, if your overstay was >180 days you cannot leave the US until you GC is approved, or you will be banned for 3 years (10 years if overstay >360 days).

If you worked while out of status, that will be forgiven, too. However, you should disclose it on your application, if you conceal it and USCIS find out you did, you will be charged with fraud.

So you overstayed about 4 years? Then definitely don't leave until you have your GC in hand.

I have one more question.
Vaccinations are against my religion (I grumble about taking a Tylenol during heavy fevers/flus. Pretty religious don't you think? )
and want to submit I-601. Will this work in my case?

That is what I601 is designed for (among other things). So yes it will work in your case, but be aware that you have to prove sufficiently that you cannot take vaccinations. See page 3 of the instructions to form I601.

5. Applicants Seeking to Waive the Vaccination Requirement

If you seek an exemption from the vaccination requirement because the vaccination would be against your religious beliefs or moral convictions, you should file this form. You should establish with evidence that:

A. You are opposed to vaccinations in any form;
B. The objection is based on religious belief or moral conviction; and
C. The belief or conviction is sincere.


WC, I believe this is the part you are referring to?

I am reading up more on http://www.vaclib.org/links/religion.htm

Anyone with an I-693 submitted after the change in the rules?

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/usc...004718190aRCRD

It looks like, if you need treatment (the skin reaction is rather large) you will not be cleared to adjust status until there is evidence of you completing the treatment.

Anyone had it since August 1st, 2008?
Especially one with a positive TB skin test (PPD)?

If a joint sponsor (person outside the household) is needed he/she would file I-864 along with the US citizen spouse,

Basically I-864A is only needed by a household member

Trawal I dont see what race has to do with this ,plus those white people might be the ones who can take you out of this problem, you can talk with them this is not a big deal anybody will help you, you wife is a USC dont you guys know anybody in this country who makes above the poverty line, I am sure you do and now is the time to take a favor from them, and dont get frustrated RFE's are common and you have enough time to reply to it , I am sure you will workout something..

That number is NOT your alien registration #. It is an admission/departure number with which USCIS keeps track of your visit.

You do not get assigned an A# until you apply for a visa that warrants it (usually in conjunction with work authorization). An A# is 8 or 9 digits, and can be found on correspondence from USCIS with you regarding (I assume) filed petitions. Unless you have (had) a work permit, it is unlikely you have an A# (there are exceptions though).

[Priya_Suri]

Thanks for answering my I-765 ques.

1. I have a ques for I-864 (Affidavit of Support), the USCIS website says

"Although USCIS does not charge a fee for this form, the Department of State does charge a fee of $70 when the Affidavit of Support is reviewed domestically. This does not apply when the Affidavit of Support is filed abroad. "

Who should I make the check payable to? U.S. Department of Homeland Security or someone else? Please let me know.

2. I-485 Ques..
Part 2, Application Type - Should I choose option "a" or in the forum it says use option "h" and write "An immediate relative petition is being filed concurrently with this application". I am confused...pls help...



Thanks,
Priya

[woodenshoe101]

1) If you file I485, you do not have to pay for I864. That is only for CP applications.

2) a) is the correct option. Just read it very carefully, the wording is a little complicated, but it says that you file I485 based on an attached I130 petition. Iif you select h) and write the same, it should got through with no problem though.

[Priya_Suri]

Thanks so much for replying for my post.

1. In G325A (Biographics Info):
Whats the FileNumber in the top right corner?
My father expired..so, In Father's name, should I mention he is deceased or late?
2. Should I file I864 or I864EZ, I am just going to show my Husband's Salary and its above 125% poverty line?
3. Do I need my Husband's passport or just his Naturalization certificate is enough?

Thanks in advance,
Priya

1) your A number if you previously had one. enter N/A or none if you don't have one (you most likely do not have one)
2) if you qualify for 864EZ (answer the 3 questions on 864EZ "yes") use that. Shorter and easier than regular I864
3) Naturalization cert should be enough, but if he has a US pp, might as well include to be sure.

In form G-325A, where we have to specify the information about "Husband or Wife (If none,so state.)", do I need to mention "Husband" or "Wife" explicitly there? Please let me know.

Thanks,

If you read the instruction of the form, it says you do not need to repeat info you already gave on I130 with the exception of you name address etc.

However,if you want to be complete, then yes, state the relationship. It seems redundant, but it makes it easier (i think) on IOs so they don't have to go back and forth between I130 and G325 .
