I am still a bit confused, would a K1 adjusting need proof of common life?

No, the I-485 application based on a K-1 and subsequent marriage does not require proof of a bona fide marriage. Just the marriage cert

Not for the packet, no. For the interview (if there is one - there isn't always for a K1 Adjuster) you take evidence of co-mingling like bank accounts etc.

Quick Question - Do you guys think it will be ok for me to submit the same 'Employment Letter' that I submitted for my Husbands K-1 Visa Interview a couple months ago, even though the letter will be dated back a few months? I have current pay stubs to show that my income is still the same...

Thanks

I would think not personally. Because the letter has a signature on it, the payslips could easily be forged. If you have a hard time getting the letter from your employer you could try submitting the same letter and if you get RFE'd then you know for sure You wouldn't get denied for sending the old letter, just RFE'd.

I used the doc list to send off my AOS, EAD and AP today. Thanks for a great resource

hello everyone here in the forum! I have a quick question, after USCIS reviewed our RFE, the status of our application now says initial review:

On June 27, 2012, we transferred this case I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS to another office for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action.

is this what i think it is? I appreciate all your feedback guys.. thanks

It's either a transfer for interview, or a transfer to CSC. You'll have to wait and see.

Hello Vanessa and Tony,

I filed for my removal of conditions on 02/12/2012 and had my bio-metrics appointment on 04/18/2012, i received my one year extension by mail but havent heard anything from the USCIS yet, i have read that the usual timeline is around 5-6 months and i am around the 5th month timeframe.

Should i be worried or just wait it out another month and see what happens, how and who do i contact if i go past my 6 month timeline if i dont get my conditions removed.

All the help would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi there,

I got married yesterday following my entry as a K1 on Thursday 2nd August. I have a couple of questions.

Are all three forms (AOS, EAD & AP) sent in the same pack and do you need 6 passport photo's (2 for each application) or just 2 for the whole application and is the the same with regards to passport/visa photocopies etc?

Thank you for your time

[Donis1410 2]

Also is the affadavit of support to be filled in by myself (AOS applicant) or my wife (USC)?

ROC for VSC is taking about 9 months. Keep an eye on the filers groups to get an idea of where you are in the process. This is the Feb ROC group: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/349983-i-751-february-2012-filers/page__st__570 and you can see only 1 from VSC has their GC and that was an expedite due to deployment.

This post: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/343787-i-751-january-2012-filers/page__view__findpost__p__5590568 in the January filers group says 1 person from VSC in the December group has been approved. You'll be waiting another 3 months at least i would think.

You need 6 photos and photocopies go with each form. The packets are separated and processed separately. they are individual applications and you need to submit their individual required evidence.

I'm really confused by all this, is the OP and documents listed in the OP still up to date? They took all my forms/papers when I entered the US on a K-1 visa and I haven't got them back. Will I need any of those forms? Also, why do I need another affidavit of support if I already prepared one to get the visa?

I found this instruction page for the I-485 and it doesn't mention all the forms in the OP, but I'm assuming it's up to date.
