what are the forms required to file family based GC?
- Thread starter pullan
- Start date
Your first stop should always be http://www.uscis.gov
For information from a member of the public's perception, you can always do a search on this website. There are too many threads here that are a good source of information.
Other websites such as www.immihelp.com and http://www.familybasedimmigration.com/ are also good sources.
Basically depending on your circumstances, you will need Forms I-130, I-485 and I-765(Optional).

You will Need the following:
I-130
I-485
I-864
I-693 (Medical - DR. fills this out for you)
G-325A
Optional:
I-765: Employment Authorization Document/ Work Permit
I-131: Advanced Parole - allowes you to travel while waiting for AoS approval
To avoid delays you should file all the required (+optional if you decide) at the same time to avoid delays in your processing. Generally, if filing all docs at the same time you would send them off to Chicago.
If you want to get to know the process fairly well, check out the book link I have listed in my signature. It's only $29 and written by a couple real immigration attorneys. Great book. I got it after I filed, but it confirmed everything I did was correct!! Good luck.

YES.
Your wife must fill out an I-864 for you, as your sponsor.
you both need to fill out a G-325a.

You don't need an I-765 and an I-131 if you intend to continue working for current employer and can travel on a valid H-1B visa.

I beleive that even if your wife had NO income ($0) she still has to file a I-864 and be your primary sponsor, then you can add the intending immigrant's (your) income and/or assets. If you use your income you will have to give in your tax transcripts and W2's as well as proof that this income will continue (i.e employment letter). All this if you are working LEGALLY, which I assume you are.
It's written on the form how to do that.
Another solution would be to get a co-sponsor who could be anybody who is a U.S citizen or LPR.
Hope that helps. Go through form I-864 for more details.
