Adjustment Of Status

[Patch97777 1]

Hey Everyone,

I'm about finished putting together my AOS(I-485) packet, and I want to know whether I need to include supporting evidence in the packet similar to how we did in the I-129F packet?

Also, do both petitioner and beneficiary include G-325a with this packet?

Thank you!

I assume you mean proof of a relationship? If yes, then the answer is no. Those documents (pictures, joint bank account, joint insurance, etc) will be needed at the interview, if you are scheduled for one.

Please read the VJ AOS from K-1 guide, and read well the USCIS instructions for each form. And I strongly advise you to apply for EAD and AP too, those 2 applications are free when filed with the I-485 one.

My list

I-485 (Adjustment of Status)

Photographs (2) of immigrant (passport type)

Photocopy of birth certificate of immigrant with translation

Photocopy of passport biographical page and K1 visa page (immigrant)

Form G-325A Biographic Information Sheet (immigrant)

Form I-864 Affidavit of Support (by USC) with photocopies of supporting documents: This varies by each applicant so here's generic suggestions:

---Employment letter

---3 tax returns including copies of W2s (Photocopy) or IRS tax transcripts (photocopy) Only 1 year is required

---six recent pay stubs (Photocopy)

(If needed)Form I-864 Affidavit of Support (by Co-sponsor) with photocopies of supporting documents:

---Proof of co-sponsors citizenship/status, ie US birth certificate, bio page of passport, naturalization

papers, or LPR status

---Employment letter

---3 tax returns including copies of W2s (Photocopy) or IRS tax transcripts (photocopy) Only 1 year is required

---six recent pay stubs (Photocopy)

Photocopy of I-797 Notice of Action, I-129 Petition Approval (That's your NOA2)

Certified copy of Marriage Certificate  (can be photocopy of certified marriage certificate)

Photocopy of Form I-94 Arrival/Departure record-both sides  (card from the plane, may be stapled in passport)

Form I-693 with the immunization section filled out by a US Civil Surgeon, signed and sealed by him. Read the instructions for the form. OR photocopy of DS-3025 from UK medical if all shots were completed and recorded by Knightsbridge. One or the other, not both.

I-765 (Employment Authorization)

Photographs (2) of immigrant (passport type)

Photocopy of passport biographical page and K1 visa page (immigrant)

Photocopy of Form I-94 Arrival/Departure record

I-131 (Advance Parole travel document)

Photographs (2) of immigrant (passport type)

Photocopy of passport biographical page and K1 visa page (immigrant)

Photocopy of Form I-94 Arrival/Departure record

Add a check for $1070 made out to the Department of Homeland Security paper-clipped to your cover page. Behind the cover page put a Form G-1145 if you want to be notified that they got your applications. The cover page will look similar to the above list telling what you have included in the envelope.

That's 3 separate applications with supporting evidence all mailed together in one envelope with one check, one cover page, and one G-1145. They will get processed in different places, so that's why the duplication of evidence. You don't have to do all three, but the second two are free if sent with the AOS and will get you authorized to work or travel sooner than waiting for the green card to arrive in most cases. Green card could

take 5-6 months. Work and travel 60-90 days.

Do not work until the I-765 is approved and you have the EAD card. Do not leave the US until the I-131 is approved (K1s) and you get the travel documents or you will not be allowed back in. Once you have a green card, then no problem.

Note: The EAD and AP are now coming as a combo-card covering both things.  AP used to be a paper document. and EAD a credit card size thing, as is the greencard (permanent resident card).
