AOS for my mother

[mugenpower 0]

Hi all, my mother entered into the US 8 years ago with a B1 visitor visa, then she overstayed after the her I-94 card expired. I'm a US citizen now, so I am going to apply AOS for her.

Here is everything I have to file, please help me check:

I-130 form file by myself, check of $355, with my Naturalization certificate, my birth certificate stating the relationship with my mother, and my mother's birth certificate.

I-485 form filed by my mother, check of $1010, with copy of her birth certificate, copy of her passport, I-94, Visitor Visa and entry stamp, my naturalization certificate, my birth certificate, form G325A and 2 photos, I-693 sealed by a civil surgeon.

I-765 form filed by my mother, with copy of her passport, I-94, and her visitor visa and entry stamp.

I-864 form signed by myself, copy of my naturalization certificate, a letter explained I was a student and didn't file tax for the past 3 years.

I-864 form filed and signed by my American citizen friend as a joint sponsor, a letter stating that he understand the laws and is willing to help me on my mom's case, copy of his US birth certificate and US passport, IRS tax transcript of 2007 and 2006, a letter explained he was a student during 2005 and no tax filed, his current employment letter, and some of his recent pay stubs.

Did I miss anything?

Looks like you got it right.

Since you profile lacks home-country information, I will add if birth certs are not in English then a translation will be needed.

Also simple photo copies of things like birth cert, nat cert, I-94 etc.. are all that is needed, do not send the originals

Thank you for your fast reply. Yes, I have attached all the translations with the copies of the original documents where needed.

For those letters that my friend made statements, do we need to notarize them? or just simply sign them?

Here is what USCIS says about translations:

Please submit certified translations for all foreign language documents. The translator must certify that s/he is competent to translate and that the translation is accurate.

The certification format should include the certifier's name, signature, address, and date of certification. A suggested format is:

Certification by Translator

I [typed name], certify that I am fluent (conversant) in the English and ________ languages, and that the above/attached document is an accurate translation of the document attached entitled ______________________________.

Signature_________________________________

Date Typed Name

Address

It does not need to be notarized.

Thank you so much for the help!

I have the translations from the original notary public offices for the birth certificates.

China Perhaps??

Yep, I forget to mention on the above post. Both of our birth certificates are from Chinese Notary Public Agency.
