My husband has been here on an 0-1 visa since May of 2002. We were married in September of 2009. I'm confused about what forms we need to submit to USCIS. So far we have submitted I-130, however I see that many other people have submitted 485, 693, etc.

I received the NOA for the I-130 dated December 10, 2009. There is a notice we should expect to recieve a request for biometrics, but nothing has ben received yet. It's been 2 months! If we are missing papers, will USCIS notify us what to submit? What's taking so long with the biometrics?:confused:

Yup. You should have done that too, unless you want to do an interview in his home country.
 
so, being that my husband is HERE in the US, and by no means do we want to travel abroad to begin the interview process- what additional forms should we submit?
 
This is the list of forms for Green Card thought marriage:
✓Form I-130, “Petition for Alien Relative”: the form that the American citizen files to initiate the green card process.
✓Form I-131, “Application for Travel Document”: a request to the USCIS to allow the alien (the spouse of the American citizen) to travel outside the U.S. while the application in pending. Also known as “Advance Parole”.
✓Form I-693, “Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record”: a form that the alien submits to a civil surgeon (a doctor who has been designated by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services).
✓Form I-864 or I-864EZ, “Affidavit of Support”: a form that the American citizen files to show that he or she makes enough money to support their spouse.
-In case that the spouse has been working in the U.S. for more than 10 years form I-864W can be used instead.
-In case that a household member is a joint sponsor, because primary sponsor lacks financial resources, form I-864A is needed too.
✓Form I-765, “Application for Employment Authorization”: if the alien spouse does not have a work visa (for example an H1B visa), this form can be used to request employment authorization card.
✓Form G-325, “Biographic Information”: both the American citizen and the alien spouse need to fill the biographic information form as part of the application.
✓Form I-485, “Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status”: the form that the alien spouse (the spouse of the American citizen) files to request a status change to Permanent Residence (green card).
 
Wow! I'm definetly feeling misadvised.... Since you seem to have the insider's knowledge- do we need to resubmit the I-130 and fee with the remainder of the forms, OR can we just send the rest in, perhaps with a copy of the NOA from the I-130?

Now I know why people pay a lawyer, and not trust the advisement of a random citizen.

Are you a US citizen? If not, it is way to soon to submit the I-485 and other forms.
I received the NOA for the I-130 dated December 10, 2009. There is a notice we should expect to recieve a request for biometrics, but nothing has ben received yet.

Once you file the I-485, they'll send a biometrics notice within a month.
