Please Help! Final steps before sending AOS package for K1 visa holder

[edgarmanzo0916 3]

Hello fellow VJ members and friends,

As you may see on my timeline. It has been a long while since I've been on this website but I need a few questions answered before I send this AOS package. My wife entered the US on her K1 on July 2011 and we married Sept. 2011 (clearly within the 90days). I know we have waited a long time to send her AOS. We started building a life together got our apartment together, have a gorgeous 1 year old son etc..etc..My first question is more of a problem, see, when we submitted her I129f and I134s etc for her K1 I was living at my parents house so everything was filed under that address. A month after she entered the US thru Houston we moved out of my parents into our own apartment. Now I'm about to submit the AOS, I have filled out ALL the Docs required with the address we are living at now. One thing though, were we supposed to submit an AR-11 Change of address form?? I am ready to send this package but Im afraid we might have a problem with that. Do i have the option of sending the AR11 together with my AOS package? I have overlooked the form AR11 online as an option but there are questions there that Im confused about. Next question...together with I864 I have included my W2 and only the first page of my Federal 1040. Am I supposed to send all the pages of my federal tax returns or just the main page stating my earnings. I feel like thats enough for them to see. Last question...since she has been here almost 2 years we really dont see a point in filing for an Advanced parole. Since i see that some people are commenting about applicants with overstays have been or may be denied reentry.

I'm not sure I can answer all your questions but I'll answer what I can.

-Were we supposed to submit an AR-11 Change of address form?

Yes. You were also supposed to file an I-865. I also forgot to file the I-865 on time; researching it on VJ, it seems like a common oversight and most people seem to think its not often punished. I don't know if that's true. My thought is "better late than never" and I do not ever recomend purposely lying to the USCIS, as if they find out the lie it will be so much worse for you. So I would file these both ASAP.

-Do i have the option of sending the AR11 together with my AOS package?

I don't know for sure, but if I were you I would try to file all forms ASAP.

-Next question...together with I864 I have included my W2 and only the first page of my Federal 1040. Am I supposed to send all the pages of my federal tax returns or just the main page stating my earnings. I feel like thats enough for them to see.

The USCIS prefers tax return transcripts. These are obtained from the IRS. The fastest way to get them is to go to your local IRS office and they can get them to you while you're standing there. Otherwise you can order them off the website (here's a link) or call them. I recommend getting the transcripts, but if you do send the tax returns, send the entire thing.

-Last question...since she has been here almost 2 years we really dont see a point in filing for an Advanced parole. Since i see that some people are commenting about applicants with overstays have been or may be denied reentry.

I have seen comments about that as well. I would avoid traveling if I were her until she has a green card in hand.

Good luck!
