What to expect from AOS process?

[cjbaker16 3]

Hi! It's been a while since but now it's time for my AOS to go from conditional permanent resident to the 10 year one (hopefully). I received my letter the other week and in the month's leading up to this point I have started pulling everything together to get ready to file.

I think I have it pretty well covered on what needs to be filed but I was wondering if anyone would be able to talk me through the process of what happens once you send the forms off? I know this has probably been posted MANY times over but I am weary of processes changing and to be honest, I could spend hours reading everyone's posts because there's so much (valuable) information.

I have pulled together thus far;

- apartment lease agreement

- joint car purchase

- travel documents / tickets / photos

- 401K beneficiary policy

- joint car insurance policy

- joint IRS tax filing documents

- photos

- cards (birthday, valentine etc.)

- letters from friends who have known us together as a couple during the 2 year period since last interview

If there's anything else I am missing I would love to know and also to know about what happens - do you attend another Biometrics? Do you need to attend an interview again? How many interviews? Is it more or less stressful than the initial interview?

Thank you so much! (Sorry for being repetitive).

Hi,

if you have a joint bank account (one you frequently use), I would most definitely add all the bank statements you have in that packet too -- each month since you got married, or from when you opened the account.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'tax filing documents', but most VJers have strongly recommended getting tax transcripts from the IRS.

If you have joint credit cards, send those in too. I sent photocopies of both our cards with all but the last 4 digits blacked out. I didn't send any cc statements because those don't have both our names on it, and probably won't be that helpful.

And yes, you have to get your biometrics again (+$85 ). Interviews may also happen, but sounds like it's usually waived.
