Ok I want to make sure that I include everything in our AOS packet:

1. Payment $1070

2. cover letter

3. I-485

4. Copy of passport (non citizen)

5. Copy of visa in passport (non citizen)

6. Copy of NOA2 approval (k-1)

7. Copy of I-94 (non citizen)

8. Copy of birth certificate (non citizen)

9. copy of marriage certificate

10. G-325A (non citizen)

11. Two passport photos (non citizen) with name and A# on back

12. Copy of DS-3025 medical form received in England

13. I-864

14. Pay stubs

15. tax returns

16. letter from employer(s)

17. I-765 (DO I NEED TO SUBMIT ANY ADDITIONAL FOR THIS? )

18. I-131

QUESTION - Do we need to submit any documentation of our relationship like we did for the K-1? Photos, joint bank account etc? I assume we give that stuff for the interview?

I'd love to know too

[Lainie B 465]

Correct - you need proof of relationship at the interview stage (if you end up having one), you don't need to include it in the I-485

You also need:

Copy of US entry stamp

G-1145 (if you want email notification)

I-693 (unless your DS-3025 was marked "complete"

For the I-795, I treated this as a separate application and included:

G-1145

2 passport photos

Passport biographical page

I94 front and back

K-1 visa

Marriage certificate

Are you also applying for AP?

Oops, just saw the I-131 at the end, so that answers my last question. Again, I treated this as a separate application and included:

G-1145

2 passport photos

Copy of K1

Passport

Marriage certificate

[ZedbraGuy 6]

You only need one G-1145 but you need to duplicate up on the other stuff, off the top of my head 2x passport photos, marrage certificate and passport bio page

Yes.

"1) Form G-1145 – Form for E-notification of Application/Petition Acceptance"

we included each G-1145 for Form I-485, Form I-765,Form I-131 . Total of 3. We received 3 notifications with different MSC numbers they received it.

Also we included I-693 – Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record (even 3025 was marked complete). Ended up getting two shots (flu and some other vaccine).
