I noticed in the adjustment of status package that I need to send in that it asks for an I-864 Affidavit of Support. Does that mean that my husband needs to fill out a new one or can he use the I-134 affidavit of support that we used to get my K-1 Visa?

Also, just another stupid little side question: is it me (the immigrant) who has to file for my adjustment of status or my husband?

I apologize if these questions are ridiculous. :blush:

Thanks!

The I-134 is just for the short term between entry and AOS. An I-864 is required at AOS.

It is the immigrant who is filing for adjustment of status.

Follow the guide and sample forms here on VJ and you should do fine. My wife and I had no problems.

I-864 is for USC. Rest of the forms AOS, EAD and AP you have to fill.

I can give you the checklist of what you need to submit in regards of your AOS application. This is the same list I followed for my AOS. But the credit of complition goes to NichNick. Fellow VJ member. Say thx to her :)

Best of Luck

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. (Please see at the end of this msg of how u should write yours statement, you can mention anything specfic in it).

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,
