I last entered the US as a visitor about a year and a half ago, while I was here visiting my husband and I had decided to get married and I was pregnant so I overstayed my visit. I want to get the AOS process started.

Can someone please help me and tell me all the forms I need to send in. I already know I have to do I-485, I-130, I-765, G-325 & 325-A, I-693...is there any other I'll need???

Is it possible to just send in the I-485 to get the process started now, since I don't have all the money yet??
 
I had my bordering pass that was stamped by the immigration officer, but because of the kind of paper it was on it faded. :( The officer scanned my passport but he didn't stamp it, would immigrations be able to see a record of it being scanned?? I wish he would have just stamped the passport!!

DId I list all of the forms that I need to fill out?

A copy of the boarding pass will be fine. USCIS is aware that most Canadians who enter legally don't have proof; if you flew internationally then you were inspected.

If you want to travel between now and when your GC is approved, you'll need to file the I-131 as well. It's included in the I-485 cost, IIRC.

While she strictly speaking does not need proof of legal admission, anything (like a boarding pass) is quite helpful and decreases the odds of an RFE.

Well if she is here, then she technically entered (and was admitted) legally as a visitor(Canadians don' get visitor visas, they can stay up to 8 months without one). A bording pass wouldn't help or hurt, but it wouldn't be needed, she can still file for AOS. I am talking from personal experiance, and my lawyers advice. Canadians don't need to cross illegally. We are lucky TheRealCanadian!

Just to clarify, Canadians as visitors do not need visitors, but they are also not typically issued I-94s. They can stay six months, not eight - but since there is no I-94 no illegal presence accrues and therefore there's no real consequence to an overstay.

While Canadians do not need to cross illegally, it is still possible for them to do, and what I'd hate to see is an unnecessary RFE by an examiner who isn't familiar with Canadians. God knows I've dealt with enough attorneys in that category. :) But you are absolutely correct - a Canadian citizen in B status does not need proof of inspection/admission.
