Rox and I got married at the St. Louis County courthouse today. It was a very touching ceremony. She is adjusting here much better than I could have ever expected. Good luck to everyone...

Please educate me on sending the AOS papers. I know they must be taken for the interview. Must they be utilized again in the K1 process?

I read somewhere that they are needed once in the US.

There are two distinct AOS, one the Affidavit of Support which for a K1 case prior to them arriving in the USA was non binding (I-134) unlike when filing for the second AOS the Adjustment of Status, which is required to convert the resident alien (K1 recipient) into a lawful permanent resident once their ties to the US are established by being the immediate relative of a US citizen (their spouse). At which time the documents for this are to be gathered and submitted including the binding affidavit of support (I-864) and other evidence of a bonafide relationship between the petitioner and the beneficiary, since  payxibka is married to his bride in the USA, the AOS he's referring to was the adjustment of status.

AOS is Adjustment of Status, I-485, once married (K-1), this process will allow your wife to receive a green card.

 

Affidavit of Support is also completed with the I-485,  this time USCIS requires the I-864

This clears the mud. I thought I was missing something. We are not quite there yet. We are one of the unlucky/lucky couples cought up in the Sputum cycle. She's in Manila now on the 3rd day of testing. We knew she had a small blurry on her lung beforehand. That triggered everything.
