Guys, to my horror today, I realized that we hadn't included the copies of our divorce certificates in our AOS package (we both we previously married). Somehow, I completely missed that they were required. Devastated and beating myself. What a stupid mistake and waste of time! Does anybody have an idea what happens in such cases? Does USCIS reject the application right away, or do they sent an RFE? 

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @JSWH where did you see that DDs needed to be included in AOS package? I did not see that on any checklist I found or in any of the forms' instructions. I'm in the same boat if that's the case!

Yesterday I finally received my green card! I'm so happy and relieved that the wait is over and that I can work and go visit my family back in Spain!

Received a status update on my case this morning on the tracker that my case was scheduled for an interview. Ironically enough the new DHS website didn't update but the old tracker did.

I don't think that it said on the I-485 instructions to include a divorce decree. They should have it on the records since all K1 applicants included it on the I-129F packet. However, there are people who are saying they included theirs just to be on the safe side.

Phew. Thanks. Maybe I should have just sent all of the documents from the I-129F to be safe. It would make logical sense that the files would connect but this process defies logic...

So I am right it's a one-day mail! Haha, I paid $7 for the USPS 2-day delivery. How much was the Fedex?

I sent using Fedex 3day shipping and paid $8.95. But it was amazingly delivered the next one day only 😀 just like I-129F days.

 

The fee for Fedex next day delivery is $60ish , for 2day delivery its $19ish , glad we didn't opt those. we paid less but packet was delivered as express delivery yay

Weird, I only got until page 9 on the instruction that I read. Is that new instruction by any chance?

You just got lucky lol, that $60ish is way too expensive. But if you got money, why not, right? Haha

Just read the other comments that it states on the instruction. It's probably the new one, 'cause what I have on my pdf app still saved is the old one. Sorry about that. Just send it when they RFE and hope for the best. Good luck!
