Submitting AOS for Child in K1/K2

[Danny&Adri 1]

I'm not quite sure how an AOS adjustment of status should be done after a K1/K2 visa for marriage. We have married and now when submitting the paperwork, should the two request be kind of merged into one packet or separated?

For my new wife and her son, my thinking it should be separated and not all the documents mingled together. (I figured they do NOT want to see something like: her 485, his 485, her passport, his passport, etc.)

Below is a copy of my cover letter, listing the items we are planning to include and in what order. Does anyone see any glaring issues with it?

This packet includes:

1. Payment in the amount of $620.00

o $325 for spouse's I-485 application fee

o $ 70 for spouse’s biometrics services fee

o $225 for son’s I-485 application fee (he is 10.)

2. Application Form I-485 Packet for non-US citizen spouse

o Completed I-485 Form

o Copy passport, including K1 visa.

o Copy of NOA2 "Approval" for the original I-129F

o Copy of I-94

o Copy of birth certificate along with English translation.

o Certified copy of marriage certificate.

o Copy of divorce documents along with English translation, for non-US citizen spouse.

o G-325A with supporting photos.

o Copy of Medical Check Form as submitted with K1 visa.

o Copy of vaccination supplement I-693A as submitted with the K1 visa.

o I-864, Affidavit of Support

o I-765, Application for Employment Authorization with supporting photos

o I-131, Application for Travel Document with supporting photos

3. Application Form I-485 Packet for non-US spouse’s child

o Completed I-485 Form

o Copy passport, including K2 visa.

o Copy of NOA2 "Approval" for the original I-129F

Danny&Adri,

You are thinking correctly - two separate application packages, mailed together in a single envelope. But I would put separate payments, each payment attached to its' respective application.

I made the mistake of only sending in one copy of the taxes... and got an RFE for it. Make sure you make a second copy for the K2 as well.

Good reminder... Each application needs to stand alone!

In regards to the G-325A, Biographical Information form, do you have any thoughts on what I should do for the child's signature. Should I have the 10 year old sign the forms or have his mom do it for him?

[Ashleigh-Au 0]

A ten year old doesn't need a G325 a....only 14 and over.

[Ashleigh-Au 0]

wanted to edit..but....

regarding signatures....I signed for my daughter who was 11 at the time...and I signed her Aos forms too...I signed and put ( mother) and filled out the part on the forms that ask if anyone other than the applicant completed the forms. I did that for my son's forms too altho he signed them. (he was 16/17)
