AOS Checklist, Am I missing anything?

[mrszorak44 7]

Hello, I'm about to send my AOS packet. Can you guys please check if I'm missing out in anything?

I've read previous posts and also checked the AOS Step by Step Guide, but I still wanted to ask.

So here is what I have completed:

Payment in the amount of $1070

A - Form I-485: Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status

B - Copy of Passport (biographical page and entry stamps)

C - Copy of K-1 Visa

D - Copy of NOA2

E - Copy of I-94

F - Copy of Immigrant’s Birth Certificate (front and back)

G - Certified Marriage Certificate

H - G-325A

I - 2 Passport Style Photos

J - I-693: Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record

K - I-864: Affidavit of Support

- 2013 Form 1040

- 2012 Form 1040

- 2012 Form 1040

L - I-765: Application for Employment Authorization

I won't be applying for I-131. So, it's not in there. Hope you guys can help me out. Also, is it better to send the packet via a courier like UPS or FedEx than USPS?

Hey!

Yes, that's the guide that I followed. I just wanted to double check with others if they think I'm missing on anything.

I sent mine via USPS, i was given a tracking number... You can check or track your package in the usps website and it was sent to uscis in 3 days.

Sis, please include another 2 pcs 2x2 photos on your EAD application.

I included copies of the approved I-129f packet, nvc letter, noa1, noa2. I read on other blogs that they included these.

Also, on the ITRs of your husband, include the W-2 or 1099 for each year.

In my package, i included the copy of Report of Marriage to Phil Consulate and some wedding photos... Just an additional proof of relationship.

Good luck on both of us for our AOS!

Why would you not file for the I-131? After all it's at no cost to you. Imagine if something happened at home while you are waiting for the approval of your AOS, and you need to be on a plane heading there, your not going to be able to travel without it.

Do either of you have a prior marriage as the Dissolution Decree from a prior marriage needs to be added to this package.

Ok, thanks everyone. So you mean to say that the AOS Step by Step Guide: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1k3aos is not complete and accurate?

Unfortunately they are not always up to date so asking questions and doing your research is always a best practice. Edited September 16, 2014 by Greenbaum

Actually it is fairly complete and accurate. The only questionable area would be about the I-693 since that form is not required to be submitted. They only require a copy of your vaccination supplement--your DS-3025. The only reason to include the I-693 is if your DS-3025 is incomplete and/or you have not received required vaccinations. The birth certificate and passport photos of USC spouse are not needed. The only thing needed from them is the I-864 and supporting documents. The rest is all about the applicant (the K-1 visa holder).
