AOS need info/help

[Robert & Olya 0]

have downloaded a bunch of "forms" from here for the AOS (I-485, I-864, I-131, I-765, G-1145)

needing to know if these are "ALL" the forms we will need for the AOS or if there are others that I missed

Also becuase of "spotting empolyment" due to economy (I'm an IBEW Electrician) I'm going to use a "CO-SPONSOR" (I am well above the poverty limits but just cannot show "current" empolyment at this time, so the reason for a co-sponser)

for the co-sponsor do aa just attach a 2ND "I-864" or is there another form which is required for the co-sponsor.

The co-sponsor is my mother who is "retired" so what financial info we I need from her --- besides the last 3 years of Federal Tax filings? she will also give me her last 3 months bank statements which show her "Income deposits" (since they are all auto-deposits), what other info if any should I have from her?

they fill out an i-864 too and they tick the box join sponsor or co sponsor i forget which, and the information you said will be more then sufficent

Hello, you also need the biographic form - the G-325A filled out for your wife, so you are missing that one in your list. Just be sure to include all of the supporting documentation with forms I-485 and I-864 (you can find this on the instruction page for each form and all forms are here as well as on the USCIS website). On the instructions for the I-864, you should find exactly what you would need for supporting documents for a co-sponser there. Good luck and God Bless

so I would need to file "2" I-864 forms correct? 1 for myself and then 1 for the co-sponsor, do I understand this correct?

Now I am trying to find the cost/amount ($) I need pay for the AOS (for my wife and son)

I have been looking all over VJ and just cannot find how much I need pay for the AOS.

I know it must be on VJ somewhere but where?

I think it is $1695? which would cover both my wife and son but I am not sure

Here is the link to the USCIS site and applying for adjustment of status. The fees are listed on this page. Although VJ is usually up to date, you should always use the forms and instructions at the government website.

based on that do I include 1 check for the total amount for my wife and son ($1705)

or do I include 2 checks 1 for $1070 for my wife and one for $635 for our son since he is under 14 and will be filing for both at the same time?

I only sent one check for the full amount for my two.

Next question (sorry to you all for being a pest)

on form I-864 Question "6" it asks about an "Alien Registration Number, if any?"

Olya and Igor arrived on K1/K2 Visa's

do they have an "Alien Registration" number? and if so where do I find this number?

[Robert & Olya 0]

and on Part 3 how does my mother (co-sponser)answer/respond?

also on the wife/mother I-864 in this same section do we list our son

and then on the son I-864 do we list the mother?

[ONA 133]

Olya and Igor arrived on K1/K2 Visa's

do they have an "Alien Registration" number? and if so where do I find this number?

Yes, they do. Look it up in NOA-2. It should be near beneficiary's name.

found it, Thanks

since this was a K1/K2 and now I am doing the AOS is this "Alien #" only for my wife or do I use this same Alien number for our son?

[ONA 133]

I'm not sure about your son's Alien Number, since we don't have kids. He might not have it.

[Robert & Olya 0]

completely confused on how to fill out "PART 3", "PART 5" & "PART 7 question 28" (on the I-864 form)

the AOS is for my Russian wife and 11 yr old Son.

we are using a co-sponsor (which is where some of my confussion on how to fill out these sections)

"PART 3"

I assume I need check box 8 and the box YES and also check box 9 then list my wife's 11 yr old son in the underneath section OR do we not check BOX 9 and do not list the son because he will have a seperate I-864 filed at the same time as his wife by me (sponsor) and co-sponsor?

(I am assuming I need fill this section out the same for both me (sponsor) and the "co-sponsor")

now also in this section does our 11 yr old have an "Alien Number"?

the only Alien Number I know of is the one for my wife, so I am not sure if our son has an alien number or I use the same number for him as for my wife?

"PART 5"

on this part the questions have to do with "How to fill this out for the co-sponsor"

for the co-sponsor on 21a do we put 2 (my wife and son), OR 1 (only wife because we do not list the son in PART 3 because he will have his own seperate I-864 filled by me and the co-sponsor) OR 0 (zero) because neither one live with the co-sponsor???

"PART 7"

Question 28 -ASSETS of PRINCIPAL SPONSOR IMMIGRANT

my wife's name is on both our checking and savings accounts do I list these as "assets" for her even though they would be listed on the above "Question 26" for ASSETS of SPONSOR?

and on the "CO-SPONORS" I-864 are these assets list on Question 28 or left blank since these assests are accounted for in the "Sponsor Assets" on the I-864 I will be filling?

any and all help will be appreciated

Thanks
