I became a US citizen about a month ago. Now I want to start the process to submit an AOS for my wife. She is curently out of status but entered the country on a student visa and after graduating college she got a H1B work visa that she overstayed after 1 year of work employment.

I will try to help a little. Yes, send a copy of your U.S. Passport especially the bio page, but some say to copy each page. As to marriage evidence, the fact that you have a daughter and adopted her son is high on the list, but you may also want to include evidence of commingling of your finances, and insurance documents, etc.

The I94 is your wife's electronic entry record into the U.S. You should be able to get this online here.

https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/consent.html;jsessionid=kDh5V6qfXy7WN1Vc2L2jXQr94NLXQHgr3lKy8hDlcgztNNRmLCGK!1610891599

We only did one copy of the birth certificate, divorce decree, 325 and 1145 and had no issues. On the 864, you only have to submit the most recent tax year copies, but you have to report income for the past three years on the form.

Hope this helps a little.

Good Luck!
