I was reading the sample cover letter for AOS on this page. http://usimmigrationjourney.blogspot.com/2...ver-letter.html

I was surprised to see they included the proof of being single and divorce documents?

Does my wife need to submit her proof of being single document with AOS? This is problematic because the Embassy in Thailand never returned this to us. Also I was divorced from a Thai lady before I submitted documentation for this when I got married but is the USCIS interested in this for AOS?

I don't want to over submit documents just to be safe. If these documents are needed I'll try to gather them but if they are not needed all the better.

Thanks

Not sure if you noticed, but for one, that isn't a VJ guide and two, it's outdated (by more than a few years). If you want to know what are the real 'best-practices' are, check the VJ guides.

(And no, for a K-1 entrant, the divorce certificate and/or proof of being single is not needed for AOS.)

No u would not need it, the reason being is u have 90 days to marry her, after that u r already marry, depends o which state u live in when u go to the city her of where u live all they do is to check if u have a marriage certificate at the town u live in and that is it if they find nothing on u they will let u apply for the marriage license either have the judge to marry u or the father form church.

Be cautious of that guide (in your link) - it is outdated (fees, for example).
