Q: Hello everyone I got married last year, and my wife would like to sponsor me for residential status,I have DACA.
I'm going to have my first consultation with a lawyer and I was wonder what it is that I need to ask, or take to them to get started, I would like to apply before the 24th of February. Thanks in advance!
A:
If your spouse is a U.S. citizen or resident you will need proof of that fact.
Additionally, you will need proof of marriage and passport photos of you and your spouse. You also will need proof of your good faith marriage.
If you have entered the U.S. lawfully with a parole document or a non-immigrant visa, you can also file the FORM I-485 with USCIS along with the relative petition, FORM I-130.
Good luck to you.
