Yeah, the only problem with bank checks if you forgot to monitor your balance on your checking and you don't have enough funds, then it will be overdraft. So get overdraft protection. :)

Exactly and need enough funds when USCIS cashes it. Considering that I have lots of automatic bill payments too... There is no way to track a money order though correct?

Agreed with above, follow the guides here closely and you can file everything yourself. We used it and had zero issues during his AOS process. And yes, $1225 is total fee for the I-485 and biometrics.

I would study this https://www.visajourney.com/content/k1k3aos I urge you to also file the I-131 and I-765 along with the I-485.

I was able to pull most of the paperwork I needed from my I129F paperwork. I had 2 full copies of it, and just about everything you need for AOS is in there. Saved me from making more copies. And mone

Yeah, I don't think you can. The only way that you could monitor and contest is the mail tracking number, that way you'll know for sure that it was delivered, then pray that USCIS will email you or mail you a notification(NOA). :) If my time comes I'll still use money order but that's just me.

Also, anywhere that it asks for my wife's name should she put her new name or considering that her new last name is not recognized by any government, ID, or institution yet should she just stick to her maiden name on all AOS forms?

On form I-765 Part 2 Item #27, what is the right eligibility category for my wife?

From the instructions:

 

Quote

 

Adjustment of Status Categories

  1. Adjustment Applicant under Section 245--(c)(9). File Form I-765 together with Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, or if filing separately, submit a copy of your I-485 receipt notice or other evidence that your Form I-485 is pending.

 

 

So the right eligibility category is (c)(9).

Thank you! Now I am trying my best to find it clearly in the instructions on the I-131 for part 7. I am wondering what we need to attach.

I have read that since we are applying this with AOS they will not require anything attached. Is that true?

We didn't attach anything, and I think that's okay.

The "thing" to attach is the I-797 for the I-485 filing, but if you are filing concurrently then that document isn't available. 

 

All I did was notate on my cover that the filing was concurrent and incorporated herein.

YMMV

We are filing them all at once.

 

Could I get a couple examples of cover pages please.

I am getting ready to make a cover letter and looking through the checklist to make sure we have everything and I was wondering about this part. #10 on the VJ checklist. Do you really have to do this? Or just provide a copy of the vaccination sheet? @payxibka

 

I-693 vaccination transcription is required to be completed by seeing a Civil Surgeon to have certain portions of the I-693 completed and have the Civil Surgeon certify the form

If your Ds 3025 is marked complete on the bottom left of the form then that is all you need to do
