Hello

I was born in Bangladesh and came to New York when I was very young and overstayed my Visa. I just recently married the love of my life who received her Citizenship over 5 years ago. I would now like to file for Adjustment of Status through my wife and would like to know exactly what forms we need to fill out. I am attending college with my own money and cant afford a lawyer, so any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Do not worry

For Spouse of Citizens and Parents of citizens the additional requirment of filing Supplement 485A and penalty of $1000 are waived.

You will need to file I-130 and I-485 with all other applicable documents as proff including the medicals etc.

There is no need to file Supplement 485A in my opinion, check out

Don't even mention the I-485A and the $1000 fine. It's not required for Immediate Relatives, and new petitioners are not eligible for this relief.

Thank you all for the replies. I was also wondering if I can send both I-130 and I-485 applications in one package, with two seperate checks, or should I mail them seperately?
