What exactly is this supporting documents?

[K + M 47]

Hi, so we are assembling our AOS packet atm, and we are using the checklist, but I also ran across this other list on citizenpath, and I am curious if it is good, so if someone who has recently gone through the process shed some light on this, would be amazing. 

 

The list I came across is this:

 

 

 

Would that list be good to use?  I also have a question, what exactly are all the "supporting documents"  I understand what supporting documents are for the affidavit I-864, the forms to showcase your income, but what exactly are the supporting documents for I-131, I-765, I-130A, and I-485.

 

Thank you so much for the help in advance!

That checklist is for an AOS applicant who is an immediate relative that married a USC after arriving on a different type of visa.

Its not for K1s.

If you check out the K1 AOS thread you will find the correct recommendations.

Also if you use the search bar and search K1 AOS checklist you will find many recent checklists.

Oh, okay tysm, we were working on getting her current address changed, but we were curious, she is out of status atm because the K-1 visa is up, we got married within the 90 days, but we are just getting the AOS packet together.  Would it be an issue if we filled out the AR-11 CoA form online while she is out of status on USCIS?  Or should we wait until we file the AOS packet and get the Noa1 so she is back in legal status to do the Ar-CoA online form?

 

We are also going to get her state ID today as another good piece of documentation for her from the local DMV, I'm assuming shouldn't be any issues with this, they just require proof of residence so we are using her form that she got mailed out to her when she got her SSN since that has the address on it.

Until she files for the AOS there is no USCIS pending file so the change of address has nothing to connect to. File AOS with the address current on the day you sign it then update and address change using the. AR11 form within 10 days of any subsequent move

To clarify, the K-1 visa was voided the moment she entered the US.  However, if her I-94 has expired, then she is currently out of status, and she is subject to deportation.  After filing the I-485, she will not have a legal status, but she will be granted authorized stay in the US until the I-485 is adjudicated.

Within 10 days after receiving Noa1 for AOS?

Read the information sheets for each form on the USCIS website as they give full information regarding supporting documents for each form

No. Within 10 days of any move you make AFTER filing the AOS forms. USCIS doesn’t require any update of address when you are out of status

I've read multiple places tho that being out of status isn't grounds for deportation because the purpose of the K-1 visa has been fulfilled, and that being out of status is a grey area where its not good to be out of status, but if a little bit more time is needed to be taken for the AOS that's okay, but to get it in asap, we are about 1 month out of I-94 expiration but should have the AOS in asap

Update, we are going to go and get her state ID after filing for AOS so she is back in status when working with the DMV.

That is incorrect. Once the I-94 has expired, the non-immigrant is subject to deportation.  Here is one recent example where the person was in jail for 5 weeks because she had married, but not yet filed for adjustment of status.

Marriage after entry via a K-1 and losing legal status are 2 completely separate things......ANY non-immigrant is subject to deportation once the I-94 has expired. But once the I-485 is filed, the person is authorized to stay  while the I-485 is pending......but that is not a legal status.

I am confused by what that UNTIL means, I have read that once filed she is back in legal status

My mistake.......disregard the word "until".......
