AOS K1!!

[SraAcero 6]

ok so we re trying to get everything together to send the aos package and i have a whole bunch of questions

do we need to fill the i 765 and if is yes do we have to pay and extra 380 for it?

do we have to send any pictures along with the package ?

can we translate the borth certificate ourselfes or somebody else have to do it for us like a notary or someone like that?

does the 1070 include all the fees? or we have to pay something extra?

can we use a co -sponsor for the affividavit and it can be a friend not an relative?

This is so confusing!!!

No

We didn't with our package, but brought several to the interview.

We had ours done officially. Not sure if they will accept self translation unless you are a credentialed translator.

does the 1070 include all the fees? or we have to pay something extra?

Everything for now. Nothing more until the ROC stage related to filing, but you may incur added costs if you need to have the 3025 vaccination form transcribed, or another medical.

can we use a co -sponsor for the affividavit and it can be a friend not an relative?

Not sure, we didn't need one, but the guides and instructions for the 864 should tell you.

This is so confusing!!!

Good Luck!

Let me clarify the answer to the first question. First of all, you are not required to file the 765 at all, but most people do as it tends to get approved faster and allows you to work while the 485 is being processed. If you decide to file the 765 and do it at the same time as the 485, then there is no additional cost above the 1070.

I apologize for my first short response.

Again, Good Luck!

1. An I-765 is optional. But if you want to work before you receive your green card, you will need to file for it. Don't worry it's free to file with your AOS.

2. You need to send in 2 passport photos with the AOS application. If you file an I-765 application, you will also need 2 passport photos with that application. You do not need to send any personal photos.

3. You can translate the birth certificate yourselves, if you are fluent in both languages. All you need to do is write a statement at the bottom of your translated document:

Certification by Translator

I [typed name], certify that I am fluent (conversant) in the English and ________ languages, and that the above/attached document is an accurate translation of the document attached entitled ______________________________.

Signature_________________________________

Date Typed Name

Address

4. The only fee for the AOS application is $1070. There are no additional fees.

5. You can use any US citizen or legal permanent resident as your joint sponsor. So yes, you can use a friend as long as they are either a USC or LPR.

No, the I-765 (EAD) is optional, just like the I-131 (AP). If you file it (or both) along with the I-485 (or while the I-485 is pending), it is free of charge.

No pictures, only the 2 passport style photos for the G-325A, and 2-2 extra passport photos in case you file for EAD and AP.

You can translate it. I submitted a notarized translation of my birth certificate, I didn't want to take a risk.

Yes, the $1070 fee includes everything. (I-485 + I-765 + I-131)

Yes, you can use a friend as a co-sponsor, as long as s/he is over 18 and is a permanent resident (green card holder) or citizen of the United States.

Good luck!
