What forms do I need to complete

[missing.my2angels 0]

Well here goes,

I came back to the states on the VWP in January and by February we found out that we were going to have a baby. We discussed the possibility of just getting married as we had no intention of getting married when I entered. We decided against it as the K1 should not take that long to get and thus we could cope with being apart ( even though that is so hard).

Alas a few weeks ago we lost the baby due to an eptopic pregnancy and this has knocked us both really hard and the thought of losing each other for even a few months is too much to bare especially as my partners 2 year old can not stand me being away for even a day. We decided to get married and apply for AOS which yes I know will annoy some on here waiting for K1 etc but we just could not cope with what has happened and then being forced apart. Obviously everything could get denied and I could get sent back to the UK and apply for K3 but at least it would give us a bit more time to come to terms with everything that has happened.

My question is which forms do we need to fill in and send?

I know we need to do AOS and AP but has someone got a definitive list so we can file?

Many thanks all

There is a guide for this: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...page=i130guide2 (Start here) (Read the disclaimer carefully at the top of the guide)

Please start with the Guides. It's all spelled out nicely for you there. Then come back with any specific questions. You'll want to do that in the AOS forum, not the K3 forum.

From your description, your plan is quite kosher.

One note you will be filing I-130 and I-485 together, so two fees $1010 for the I-485, and $355 for the I-130, other things like I-131 and I-765 will be based on the pending I-485 so wont need any fees.

The I-485 will be code "a" based on the "Approved Immigrant Petition" the I-130 included in the package.

I-765 will be C 9 based on the pending I-485.

As it should be in the AOS forum which I did not see could one of the mods please move it.

Many thanks for your replies so far everyone.
