About to get married to a foreign tourist. A friend told me I need to file Form I-130 and Form I-485. Do I file Form I-864 too?

Do I also have to file Form I-864? What Visa is this if we marry on U.s. soil?

Yes, you will need to file an Affidavit of Support. There is no visa being issued since it is in USA. Hire an attorney for things to go smoothly.

You are about to get married to someone who you want to spend your life with. So, before you get married, talk with a lawyer. Unless, of course, your friend is a lawyer. This matters to you. Get detailed advice and do it right first time. Good luck to you both.

I would suggest not relying on the advice of strangers and friends but to take your query directly to a reputable immigration attorney for the best and cleanest outcome possible. Just yesterday I met with a client who spent about 2 Grant for something he didn't qualify for - all because he wanted to do it by himself and 'save' money on an attorney. Now he's 2 Grand short and in the same situation as before, except that now he is going to try again this time with an attorney. Best wishes.

Yes. to obtain your fiance's green card status there is much more to do than filling out forms. The Milwaukee USCIS office is very thorough and i have seen the office deny applications of valid marriages. You must prove your case and i would highly suggest you speak with a competent immigration attorney. Good luck.

You cannot file an I-485, but your soon to be spouse can do so. You will be required to complete an I-864.
