Married now AOS

[J&P! 2]

Hello everyone!

So finally we are married and just got back from our long holiday

Our K1 was dealt by lawyers( the worst you can ever find) anyways we have decided to do all by ourselves now. I have couple of questions before we start filling AOS.What do we need to keep in mind as we no longer have lawyers? any specific documents we need to get from our lawyers? Please share your experience if you have been in our shoes.

I understand we need to send some proofs to show our marriage is bona fied now what do we need? The house is on his name, I don't have health insurance yet( been travelling non stop)? P.S: its only been 3 weeks since I am here in the US

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Joint checking, power, gas, water, cable, internet, anything that would be in your name that can be made into a joint account

If only your lawyer has a copy of the NOA2 I-129F approval notice, you need that.

You do not need the proof of co-mingling finances and accounts and residing together until the time you would have an interview, if you even do. It is possible for those adjusting from a K-1 to be approved without an interview. The only proof of marriage you need to send with AOS is a copy of your certified marriage certificate.

Read through the VJ AOS guide: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1k3aos

AND Look through Vanessa&Tony's guide. It lists all the documents you need for each form. Very easy to follow: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/235331-aos-ead-ap-from-k1-the-aussie-way-doc-list-included/

You do not need any proof of a bona fide marriage for K-1 AOS.

Jay-Kay has given you some great advice. Read the instructions a couple of times and you should be fine.

I would advise getting as many things in joint names, not for AOS but for ROC which will be in about 2 years. Bank accounts, car insurance, State ID cards/driver's permits, car titles, health insurance, utility bills, phone bills, itineraries showing you've been on vacation together. Anything you can think of really, as long as it shows both of your names at the same address. Start keeping these things in a folder. You don't need to know about the process at the moment but if you do this you now you will be glad you did later down the line.
