checklist for AOS

[avital 34]

i wlll be sending my AOS package soon and wanted to make sure im not missing anything:

• cover page with table of contents and contact information
• money order in the sum of 1070$
• form I-485
• copy of passport bio page + k-1 visa + entry stamp
• copy of NOA2
• copy of I-94
• copy of original + notarized translation of birth certificate of non US citizen
• a certified copy of our marriage certificate
• form G-325A of non US citizen
• 2 passport-type photos of non US citizen
• DS-3025 signed by a doctor with all the vaccinations completed
• form I-854 + explanation why taxes weren't filed + employment letter + pay stubs
• form I-765
• form I-131

The form I-765 is followed by a complete stand-alone package, right?

Same question for the I-131.

It's not just those two FORMS that must be submitted, but the separate packages. Consider the I-485, I-765, and I-131 to be three distinct packages that happen to be mailed to USCIS together in the same envelope.

i didnt know that. the guide doesnt say anything about it.

what do i need to put in the I-765 package? and the I-131 package?

[Zedayn 485]

The I-765 requires (from the I-765 instructions, page 8 http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-765instr.pdf) :

• 2 passport photos
• Copy of bio page in passport

The I-131 requires (from the I-131 instructions, pages 7-9 http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-131instr.pdf) :

• 2 passport photos
• Copy of bio page in passport
• Copy of K-1 visa

first it says passport style photos then it says 2" by 2", so i guess i need the 2" by 2" photo? and not passport style? or do they have a different name in the states?

and in total, i need:

6 pictures (2 for AOS, 2 for EAD, 2 for AP)

3 copies of passport bio page (1 for AOS, 1 for EAD, 1 for AP)

2 copies of K-1 visa (1 for AOS, 1 for AP)

right?

2" x 2" is the US passport size. And yes, you will need copies of whatever is required for each form, even if you already provided the same document for another one.

i think it would be a good idea to mention it in the AOS guide
