March 2020 AOS Filers

[brainless69 251]

Update...

got another letter for more biometrics.... this time for the i131 and i765... even though my previous biometrics letter was for the i485 and i765.. 🤦🏿‍♂️ do i need to go in again? 

Thought they would just put the last biometrics the code 3 for everything?

Hello! I have not changed my last name yet.  I probably will not change it before my husband's AOS interview because I do not want to put my original documents in the mail.  I am wondering if this will adversely impact us when my husband goes for his interview.  i.e. not have any accounts or mail with Mr and Mrs....Any thoughts?

Nope - shouldn't be a problem. Not everyone changes their name!

Yes! We made a list of the documents needed and will work on getting them together. And we actually went to the office a few weeks back to try to do a walk-in for biometrics! They didn't allow the walk-in, but at least we're familiar with the location now 😂. Thank you for the advice! 

Congrats on getting your interview scheduled! How do you know what documents you need to take to your interview for AOS?

We will bring all the documents that supports our relationship: lease, utility bills, bank accounts, various wedding-related contracts - all with both our names. We also plan to bring some new photos as well as emails/conversations to other people that pertain to our relationship. These are just some of the items off the top of my head, feel free to let me know if there's anything else!

They send you a letter which states all the documents. Basically a copy of your AOS package, medical if you haven’t send the DS3025 yet or haven’t done one yet, extra supporting documents for I864, like last pay stubs and if something has changed you have to show documents for that. Documents showing your eligibility for lawful permanent resident status, I would assume for K1 like marriage certificate, approved K1 and such. Proof of your life together, shared bank, bills on each name and pictures and such. I made myself an extra checklist of everything I want to bring.

Here is what I was prepared to take to the interview:

 

Complete copy of the AOS packet and ALL supporting documents

Current year 2019 tax transcript

Job verification letter

2 months of pay stubs

retirement pay letters

USC passport

LPRs arrival documents to include K1 visa and I-94

USC B/C

marriage license

SS card in married name

military ID card

divorce decree (if applicable to you) both USC and LPR

health, dental and vision insurance

life insurances both for USC and LPR listing each other as beneficiaries

ROM (report of marriage) this is Philippines specific

last will and testament to include Texas advance directive and power of attorney

utility bills with both names

bank statements savings and checking

joint credit cards

large purchases receipt (furniture with both names on it)

assorted mail LPR has received at her present location we share

and finally the entire copy of the K1 packet to include all documentation

 

There is no rental agreement or mortgage contract with both names because I owned our house before we married so I included a mortgage statement to show when the house was purchased before we married! I also used the term LPR as my wife has her GC already. Several documents will be redundant because I did not want to break open the entire AOS packet until and if I need to.

If some items don't apply to you don't  worry about them.

I think it also depends on what you can prepare. We are just 24/25 so we don’t own much yet. I’m sure as much as you can provide will be good, a shared bank account would be good. They need to understand that in 6 month of our marriage in a pandemic we can’t have everything 😂.

They don't expect you to have everything, but they do expect you to have the basic things that married couples have together i.e. joint checking, insurance etc.
