You.list your check twice?

 

Photos of K1 petitioner is not required.

Reason/letter for AP is not required.

 

Recent tax transcript for main sponsor required unless he/she was exempt from filing. In which case, evidence of exemption should be shown.

 

Copies of birth certificates or other documents showing US citizenship or legal residency for both sponsors should be submitted.

I agree with A'n'L comments.

 

Good Luck!

Thank you so much A'n'L !

 

What do you mean by "Photos of K1 petitioner is not required" (do you mean passport photos of K1 petitioner, the USC?)?

 

I shall add the tax transcript for main sponsor and birth certificate of USC and sponsor.

 

Also, is adding any "proof of relationship" (pictures etc like in I-129 form) required?

You don't need to send passport photos of your USC spouse.

At the AOS stage it is not required to send photos like you did in the I129F.  You should start a file and collect documents and photos of an ongoing relationship and proof of commingling of a marriage in case you get an interview, or for the ROC stage.

 

Good Luck!

[A'n'L 735]

The only "relationship evidence" that is required with the initial AOS filing is the marriage certificate. If you are called for an interview, you will be asked to bring pictures and proof of financial co-mingling.

[Suss&Camm 2,213]

Also recommend adding some recent pay stubs from the co-sponsor. Think An'L got everything else.

One other item...agree with rest of suggestions.

 

"I-693 Medical Exam less than 1 year old turned in at POE".

 

I-693 is typically not turned n at POE. Normally vaccine record DS-3025 is the one that most petitioners bring with them to US.  

 

 

[cyanmavi 101]

At the very top, no need for your spouse's name to be listed. But include your address and A-number.

You first say passport's American visa page, and then U.S. visa. I would recommend 'K-1 visa' for both.

I also included copy of NOA2 of I-129F approval with I-485 (and with I-131).

I read somewhere in the forum and also in the guides I think, that it is important to say I-485 Immediate Relative (Spouse) Family Based Adjustment of Status Application.

For AP, yes you do not need an explanation letter but if you do include one, you should call it Supplement for part 7.

Also yes, you do not need to include photos of the petitioner/USC spouse and you also do not need to mention in the cover letter that they are labeled and in a plastic bag.

Well it shouldn't say "i-693" cause that is the specific medical form that's done inside the US. The OP did have an overseas medical though together with their vaccinations - this is turned in at POE. 

OP you should just write "overseas medical"

You can find your alien number on the NOA 2.

And here is where you can get the I-94 https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home

Like @DanniColes said, you can find your Alien Number on NOA2 for the I-129F, I remember it being on the right side in one of the boxes.

You should print your I-94 from the website mentioned above, and you might also have an oval stamp in your passport with a date when your 90 days are/were over, you can also include a copy of that page.
