I assume you got married within 90 days of arrival to the US so - follow the Step By Step guide (all the forms are listed). AOS for yourself is $1010 plus any medical needed (varies by area).

No, I-130 would be needed if you didn't get married within the 90 days of arrival.

HI there,

In order to what you have to do now. The list is as follows

SSN

Get married

Register it (asap)

Go to the doc (listed on USCIS website) and get done with vaccination. If you have done it already, transcribed it by USCIS registered doctors. If not then search for any local USCIS registered doctor and get your madical done, As I know, these days almost of of these doctors are now in competition to do USCIS medical so they have manimize their rates. you can easily find one in your area.

In the meanwhile you would have plenty of time to arrange the documents you would need in your AOS application.

Here's is an extensive list of what would u need in order to ready your packet. But again this list can be changed according to the situation you could have. Normally this is what I have followed.

CERDIT GOES TO NichNick (Fellow VJ member)

marry within 90 days time frame, and apply asap. applying after 90 days won't be a problem but don't delay without any reason.

I-485 (Adjustment of Status)

Photographs (2) of immigrant (passport type)

Photocopy of birth certificate of immigrant with translaton

Photocopy of passport biographical page and K1 visa page

Form G-325A Biographic Information Sheet (immigrant)

Form I-864 Affidavit of Support (by USC) with photocopies of supporting documents: This varies by each applicant so here's generic suggestions

---Employment letter

---3 tax returns including copies of W2s (Photocopy)

---six recent pay stubs (Photocopy)

(If needed)Form I-864 Affidavit of Support (by Co-sponsor) with photocopies of supporting documents:

---Proof of co-sponsors citizenship/status, ie US birth ceritificate, bio page of passport, naturalization papers, or LPR status

---Employment letter

---3 tax returns including copies of W2s (Photocopy)

---six recent pay stubs (Photocopy)

Photocopy of I-797 Notice of Action, I-129 Petition Approval Notice from USCIS (That's your NOA2)

Certified copy of Marriage Certificate

Photocopy of Form I-94 Arrival/Departure record (card from the plane, may be stapled in passport)

Form I-693 with the immunization section filled out by a US Civil Surgeon, signed and sealed by him. Read the instructions for the form.

or DS-3025 from UK medical if all shots were completed at Knightsbridge if you want to take that chance

I-765 (Employment Authorization)

Photographs (2) of immigrant (passport type)

Photocopy of passport biographical page and K1 visa page

Photocopy of Form I-94 Arrival/Departure record

I-131 (Advance Parole travel document)

Photographs (2) of immigrant (passport type)

Statement of circumstances that warrant issuance of advance parole. (check the bold statement at the end of this reply). This is what you would have to type/copy/paste. But also mentioned any future travel dates if you could have. But normally if you dont have any specific dates of travel, copy the same format and take a print out.

Photocopy of passport biographical page and K1 visa page

Photocopy of Form I-94 Arrival/Departure record

And a check for $1010 made out to the Department of Homeland Security

That's 3 separate applications with supporting evidence all mailed together in one envelope with one check. They will get processed in different places, so that's why the duplication of evidence. You don't have to do all three, but the second two are free if sent with the AOS and will get you authorized to work or travel sooner than waiting for the green card to arrive in most cases. Green card could take 6 months. Work and travel 60-90 days.

Do not work until the I-765 is approved and you have the EAD card

Do not leave the US until the I-131 is approved (K1s) and you get the travel documents or you will not be allowed back in. Once you have a green card, then no problem.

I-131, Application for Travel Document, Part 7

Statement of circumstances that warrant issuance of advance parole.

I wish to apply for advance parole and obtain the necessary permission to travel to my home country prior to receipt of permanent residency status in the event of emergency or family illness. I do not have any specific plans to travel at this time.

Thanking you,

When your packet is ready to shoot, then you would have to find the correct address on which you need to send the packet. It varies according to the location you are living at. Go to the website mentioned below to find out the USCIS office, that deals your area.

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD

If you ever have to move, after u filed for AOS, you need to inform USCIS by submitting AR-11 Form. You can do that online on this website

https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=coa

US citizen doesn't have to fill out AR-11 form but the other one USCIS has on its website.

I hope that would help you out to start your application process.

Wish ya best of luck and pray for others who are in the same boat.

To me unless you have some very good reason for ignoring filing the AOS since 10 months, the USCIS will be screening your AOS very closly and probably this will raise RED Flags because ignoring any step in the entire process to me is a RED Flag that needs further investigation. Good luck to you

it might be to you but actually there is very little evidence to support what you said other than the alien is subject to deportation until the I-485 is filed
