I am a foreign national who married an American citizen in the U.S. What forms do I need to fill?

Question

I came to the U.S. to get my BA, and met an American fellow student who is now my husband. My question is, what sort of visa forms do we need to fill out now that we're married, since I'm still on a student visa? I've been researching online, but the only ones I can find are for American citizens to bring their fiancees into the U.S. to marry; we married here in the U.S. (just last weekend, in fact!). Besides the normal name-change forms for DMV and Social Security, does anybody know what government forms we need to have taken care of? Thanks!

Answer 1

Simple
www uscis gov has instructions
www visajourney com has real experiences.
In short:
I-130 By hubby to sponsor your visa
I-864 by hubby to sponsor you financially (He needs to make 16K a year, if not, you need a cosponsor).
I-485 for you to adjust status
I-693 - Medical exam

Optional: I-765 - work authorization
Optional: I-130 - Travel document.

Total cost - about a grand.


Name change - Social Security and DMV is enough.
