I mailed my AOS package on 04/24/2017 and was received on 04/27/2017. My checks have not been cashed yet. 

My checks were cashed this morning 05/05/2017 and I received 4 e-mail confirmation for I-130, I-485, I-765 and I-131 yesterday at 9:34 p.m. 

Waiting eagerly for the biometric appointment letter.

Hey guys.

 

I am sending the docs next week.  I have some questions to ask.

 

1-) Did you guys sent any photos or proof of evidence of the marriage. I have heard some folks send the photos with them.

2-) Is there any 2016 cover letter. I am using this cover letter. Is this okay?

3-) I am sending the ds 3025 vaccination form that we got the copy of at the U.S embassy. ( No need to do medical and pay the fee as far as I know.)

4-) What is the process times of k1 to aos? I have seen 12 months or so. Is that normal.

 

1. I didn't send any photos from the marriage because we hadn't gotten them back from the photographer yet. If you think it will help I would send them, but per the instructions they are not required.

2. That cover letter is just fine. Just make any adjustments you need for any documents you add (like photos)

3. All I sent was the DS 3025 so we shall both see if they RFE us, but a lot of recent users have had no issue with sending just the 3025 as long as your medical was within a year.

4. The times seem to be anywhere from 6 months to a year based off the other filing progress chains, but I would review those to get a better idea or the timelines available on the forum.

Also before forgetting..

5-) is there any sample i 131 for k1?  I have  seen on visa journey but it is confusing. What should I say to day to intent to departure. I am not planning to send my wife to Turkey before we get the green card but just in case if there is an emergency. What should I do?

You don't have to put any dates if you don't have any plans, but most people just put a random travel date in. They don't follow up on if you go since things do come up that could cause travel plans to cancel.

 

 

Also, as long as you are married in 90 days you do not need to file i 130 right? 

 

k1 to aos. 

Correct! Just make sure to file BEFORE your 90 days are up as well!

My package was delivered at USCIS, IL on 4/27 and haven't received any emails or text messages from them...So I will be following this group as well!

I mailed mine in via Fed Ex to the direct Chicago address on the 2nd, was signed for on the 3rd - waiting on check to be cashed and an email or text.  We filed AOS, EAD and AP together (for my wife, who came here on K1)

For K1 to AOS - You can file anytime, just get married before 90 days - but your spouse will be in a weird no mans land until you file if you wait beyond 90 days (and if you wait more than a year then you can't use the DS-3025 .. not sure if that's the right number, I'm referring to the K1 vaccination worksheet).  If your spouse is here beyond 90 before filing, do not leave the USA! 

[papasmf 90]

Oh and you file 485 not 130 (for K1 to AOS)

[Asakelove 72]

 

Hello! Have you received any text message from them? I'm still yet to receive mine.

No, I haven't, still waiting?

Have you?

lets keep hoping we get NOA early next week.

I didn't send any pictures, the proof of evidence of marriage I sent was only the marriage certificate...

But to put your mind at ease you can send some, I'm sure people don't get RFE for sending too much documents LOL

Why did you send it to the field office instead of the lockbox?

[Ogoshinda 10]

We sent out our packet today AOS,EAD & AP. Success everybody

Oh, maybe it's not a "field office" but seemed like a real office address and not a po box, I sent it to the address below in Chicago to be precise, sorry if my vocabulary was incorrect, certainly don't want to confuse anyone, here is where I submitted via Fed-ex instead of the USPS po box address:

 

 

For FedEx, UPS, and DHL deliveries:

USCIS
Attn: FBAS
131 South Dearborn - 3rd Floor
Chicago, IL 60603-5517

When applicable, you must include a copy of the Form I-797 Notice, showing that your Form I-130 or Form I-360 was accepted or approved.
