I know there are check lists others submitted and I can look at, but since regulation and required documents do change sometimes, I was wondering if anybody can take a look at my list and correct me if needed. It'll be very very greatly appreciated! I know this list is lengthy. Thank you so much for whoever decided to take a look and give me feedback!!!!

 

I am filing marriage AOS from H1B. H1B will expire soon, my employer will file extension request soon, so I plan to include the Receipt Notice from the extension request. Our I-864 has a lot of documents. We have a joint-sponsor because we don't think our income and asset would qualify us. But we are including everything we have to show that we do not intend to financially rely on the joint sponsor. The primary sponsor doesn't have W2 because he is not employed full-time. Only works as an independent contractor, and has Gi Bill from VA.
