Hi there! I've been searching around this board and some other websites to gather informations of what kind of forms I need to file
for myself. I think I have the informations I needed, but please confirm or add to what I should do.
I came here to the U.S using a B2 visa since I was 13, am now 23 years old. Long story short, some years ago I thought my sister
(a U.S. citizen) filed a relative petition for me. Recently I found out that she never did, even though she led my whole family and I
to believe she did filed.
Now I'd like to do this on my own and file through my mother, who became a U.S. citizen. She is my mother
through adoption (legally adopted me when I was about 13), but have lived with her since I was a baby. She is my biological
father's sister. So technically she was supposed to be my aunt. My questions are:
1. I understand my mother need to file an I130 for me, but do I also need to file an I485 (adjust status to permanent residency) and G325 A biographic information form?
2. Does the supplement A of I485 apply for my case?
3. Am I supposed to send my forms to the address provided for I130 or the one from I485? I live in Las Vegas, NV.
4. Is there a way for me to also file for approval to work? Should I file this one also w/the forms above?
5. Since my case is a bit more complicated than most (maybe), should I find a lawyer to help me?
I want to make sure that above are the correct forms I need to file as my first step. I understand that these are a lot of questions, therefor any help you could provide me are greatly appreciated. I've been reading on so many forms and websites that I feel like I'm confusing myself more now.
