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!!
You answer YES to that question concerning the violation.

If no forms exist, use ones on the site...nothing more can be done about that.
