Hello all!

Self-filing for AOS.

Just wanted to clarify some things before sending everything in.
Along with all the supplemental documents, the forms I am submitting are:

I-485
I-130 and I-130a
I-765
I-131
I-693
I-G25a for husband and I
I-864

..phew.

My question is - for form I-485, under "General eligibility and inadmissibility grounds," one of the questions is "Have you EVER violated the terms or conditions of your nonimmigrant status?"

I was unsure if the answer to that will be YES or NO. My parents brought me here under B1/B2 visitor visa when I was 5. We then transitioned to a L1/L2 business visa which was initially renewed but then denied extension the following year. So, I overstayed unlawfully for about 15 years until DACA came around in 2012. Ever since DACA, I haven't violated any laws and kept up with my renewals. I also traveled several times with DACA Advance parole (while it was around).
In that case, should I answer YES or NO to that question?

Also, I'm assuming I don't need to file a 245(i) since I've traveled and entered the country with AP before applying for AOS?

Last question, forms I-130 and I-130a that I found on the USCIS website both have an expiration of 7/31/18 and I can't seem to find any updated forms :/ Should I just file the ones they have on there?

Thank you in advance!!
