AOS and final paperwork

[EnglishLove 112]

I'm getting ready to send in my AOS paperwork as we were married this Saturday! I feel like I'm still missing papers and really don't want an RFE! I've gone through all the check lists on this site, but they all seem a few years old so I just need a few questions answered.

1) Do I (the Petitioner) need to attach passport style photo's of myself 

2) Do I need to include my entire I-129 visa packet that I sent in?

3) Do I need to include any wedding photos and/or paperwork that has my husband's name on it proving he lives at my residence?

     -Also, I own my house and tried to get my husband on the mortgage but since he has no credit, this was not possible. I was able to put him on the gas and city bill though

The Petitioner is now the beneficiary (the person you brought over from another country) Not the USC. So only the beneficiary which is now the petitioner submits passport photos.

No, you do not include the entire packet. Just the NOA1 from the K1 process

No. Just the marriage certificate. All the paperwork and photos will be for the actual interview.

Ahh okay. This feels like so much more paperwork than the k-1 packet!

the passport photos yes but only for beneficiary. although there is a new form of I-485 going into effect October 15th and im not sure if they added anything extra. depending when you submit your form it can make a huge difference.  this list is using the current form before October 15.

I hope to send it off in the morning! Also, should I write the date the passport photos were taken?

Is that the I-797? Also, should I attach my divorce decree from my previous marriage as well or just my marriage certificate?

The beneficiary is now the applicant.   The petitionner is now simply an interested bystander

Yes. The I797C is the Noa1. You want to submit the I797 instead. 

Yes. Check out the I485 instructions. The Marriage Certificate section.
