AOS

[nathandace 0]

Hello fellow VJ members,

I have finally made it to the US, and beginning to settle in. I was married on July 17, and my hubby left for his BMT with the Air Force on the 21st. It's was sad that he had to leave so soon, but we're thrilled that we are finally together at last! We're so happy! Now that things have finally settled down for us I began looking into the AOS application process. I have some questions. I was wondering if anyone who has been through this process already would be willing to help me out? I would greatly appreciate it.

1. I am located in CA for the time being, but the instructions state for K-1 fiance/I 129F applicants to send the AOS application to Chicago, IL lock box. Is this correct?

2.Forms G-325A. Do I send both mine&my husbands? and would we be sending in the copies that we submitted earlier on in the process (to obtain the visa)? or should I be filling in new ones?

3.Form I 864. same question, do I submit copies of ones already submited ? or fill in new ones? Or if information has been updated would I submit the I 864 that was previously submitted with the new one as well?

4.What for are the USCIS looking for when they ask for the fiance petition approval? and am I suppose to detach the I 94 from my passport to be sent in?

5.Do I use copies of the police clearance,vaccinations from the medical, and birth certificates that were submitted earlier for the AOS application? or am I required to get new ones?

My next set of questions have to do with filling in the AOS form itself

1.What do I put in for the section that says: Address C/O in Part 1?

2. for social serurity (also in part 1) would I put N/A or none?

3.What do they mean by A#, Date of Last arrival (would that be my trip out to be married?), Current USCIS status, Expires on (is that the date on the 1 94 or the visa?)

4.What do they mean by In what status did you last enter (would that be the type of visa I have?) in Part 3A.

5. What is a Nonimmigrant Visa Number?

6.in Part 3B. since I am married now, would I put my husbands information in there? If so what does the form mean if he is applying with me?

Lastly I am at a different address that the information that was on my forms at the time of my interview (JULY 8th) will this cause a problem? do I need to file a change of address form? or will it be alright since I will be using the adress where im staying currently on the AOS application form?

Thank you in advance to anyone who is willing to conquor my questions in this post. lol. I apologize if there are any spelling errors.

1. I am located in CA for the time being, but the instructions state for K-1 fiance/I 129F applicants to send the AOS application to Chicago, IL lock box. Is this correct? Yes, correct.

2.Forms G-325A. Do I send both mine&my husbands? and would we be sending in the copies that we submitted earlier on in the process (to obtain the visa)? or should I be filling in new ones? Just the person adjusting status - the foreign spouse.

3.Form I 864. same question, do I submit copies of ones already submited ? or fill in new ones? Or if information has been updated would I submit the I 864 that was previously submitted with the new one as well? New one with current/updated information.

4.What for are the USCIS looking for when they ask for the fiance petition approval? and am I suppose to detach the I 94 from my passport to be sent in?Copy of NOA2/Approval Notice (I-797c)

5.Do I use copies of the police clearance,vaccinations from the medical, and birth certificates that were submitted earlier for the AOS application? or am I required to get new ones?

My next set of questions have to do with filling in the AOS form itself

1.What do I put in for the section that says: Address C/O in Part 1? Most folks don't put anything there - it stands for "Care Of".

2. for social serurity (also in part 1) would I put N/A or none?"NONE"

3.What do they mean by A#, Date of Last arrival (would that be my trip out to be married?), Current USCIS status, Expires on (is that the date on the 1 94 or the visa?)Current status is probably K-1 Visa, I-94 expiration date. A# is alien registration number found on NOA2 (as well as the I-94)

4.What do they mean by In what status did you last enter (would that be the type of visa I have?) in Part 3A.Probably K-1 Visa

5. What is a Nonimmigrant Visa Number? Found in passport

6.in Part 3B. since I am married now, would I put my husbands information in there? If so what does the form mean if he is applying with me? Uhm - he's not applying with you.

Lastly I am at a different address that the information that was on my forms at the time of my interview (JULY 8th) will this cause a problem? Not a problem do I need to file a change of address form? or will it be alright since I will be using the adress where im staying currently on the AOS application form?

Thank you in advance to anyone who is willing to conquor my questions in this post. lol. I apologize if there are any spelling errors.

With some careful reading of the Guides and viewing some of the example forms - most all of these questions could have been self-answered....

1. I am located in CA for the time being, but the instructions state for K-1 fiance/I 129F applicants to send the AOS application to Chicago, IL lock box. Is this correct? Yes

2.Forms G-325A. Do I send both mine&my husbands? and would we be sending in the copies that we submitted earlier on in the process (to obtain the visa)? or should I be filling in new ones? Only yours as you not filing 1-130. Just include a copy of your 1-129f approval. Fill new ones as they have to be signed and dated

3.Form I 864. same question, do I submit copies of ones already submited ? or fill in new ones? Or if information has been updated would I submit the I 864 that was previously submitted with the new one as well? Unless he changed jobs, the info will remain the same. Just add recent pay stubbs and letter from employer.

4.What for are the USCIS looking for when they ask for the fiance petition approval? and am I suppose to detach the I 94 from my passport to be sent in? NOA 2 for i-129f. NO make a xerox copy of the i-94 and attach to the AOS application.

5.Do I use copies of the police clearance,vaccinations from the medical, and birth certificates that were submitted earlier for the AOS application? or am I required to get new ones? Police clearance not needed anymore (check though I may be wrong). If k1 medical is less than a year, have civil surgeon transcribe vaccination supplement onto i-693. Xerox of birth certificates are fine

My next set of questions have to do with filling in the AOS form itself

1.What do I put in for the section that says: Address C/O in Part 1? Your husband

2. for social serurity (also in part 1) would I put N/A or none? None unless you have been issued with one.

4.What do they mean by In what status did you last enter (would that be the type of visa I have?) in Part 3A. Yes

5. What is a Nonimmigrant Visa Number? The red number on your visa

6.in Part 3B. since I am married now, would I put my husbands information in there? If so what does the form mean if he is applying with me? Put no

Lastly I am at a different address that the information that was on my forms at the time of my interview (JULY 8th) will this cause a problem? do I need to file a change of address form? or will it be alright since I will be using the adress where im staying currently on the AOS application form? No need if your start AOS using your new address

Thank you furiousng for your help! I have a few more questions in responce to the information you have given me. For the Address C/O in Part 1, am I writing his name, and then the contact infomation? is that what you meant when you said 'your husband'? I would also like to clairify that I am suppose to fill in a new G-325A for myself, and not to use the previous one? I am the one who was issued the Visa.

C/O (Care of) is for people sharing a common receptacle (mailbox), they must use the address of the receptacle's owner and the "care of" address format:

JOHN DOE

C/O ROBERT SMITH

123 APPLE WAY

(According to USPS)

When you say 'previous' ones (as in previous forms) - you're referring to copies of ones you submitted before? (If so, fill out new ones.)

So I would fill in the first section of my form with my name and put my husbands in the C/O? Were staying with his parents. And yes when I say previous forms I am referring to the ones that I have sent in for the K1 application prior to my visa being issued.

Well I (the USC spouse) filled all of Karin's in for her - just being helpful I guess - they are from your point of view though (the foreign spouse). Except the I-864, it is from the USC/Spouse/Sponsor's point of view.
