June 2020 AOS Filers

[Ela G. 389]

One last question. We’re submitting a marriage photo kissing. I suppose there would be no issues? Dumb question maybe but just wondering if USCIS are more on the conservative side. But I suppose since it’s a marriage photo it should be okay?

I don’t think there’s an issue with that to be honest. So go ahead and Godspeed.
Good luck 🙌🏾

Just got out of the post office! Finally sent our AOS package out!! Aah feels so good but at the same time I still have that feeling that we forgot to include something which sucks! but eh not the time to worry right now since we can’t do anything about it! Just hoping to get news soon 🤞🏼 

 

P.S. We didn’t end up submitting the marriage pic!

If anything the I-944 will be the booger bear! But I'm  hoping you'll be ok. Good deal about the pic.  Just hang on now.

.... Will this actually affect us? 😟 Honestly the video is a little confusing and I’m not quite sure if it actually applies to people filing in the country and at what stage

So according to USPS tracking, our packet has been delivered earlier today. Hoping our documents are complete and we get a NOA1 text soon! 🤞

Be sure to double check for the current fees as fees do sometimes increase, so please check. Additionally check the forms as listed above i.e., current version and or edition date, there has been changes to various forms since February 24, 2020. Consider sending tax transcripts instead of the 1040, and W2's. Also consider preparing a cover letter for each form in addition to the main cover letter.

 

Make sure you send long form birth certificates and not the short form. IMPORTANT: Form I-944 has quite a bit of supporting documents that go with it depending on your situation, be sure to read the instructions for this form carefully. Many people have gotten a RFE for this form so be sure to pay CLOSE attention when filing it out. Hope this helps in your preparation of your AOS. When in doubt ask questions.

The passport photos (6 total) are only the beneficiary's right? IDK where I read that 2 petitioner photos are needed 😕

So the USCIS received our file on the 3rd June and so far we've not had the money taken from our bank or received NOA1. Anyone else in the same position?

Don't  fret Uncle Sam WILL get his money,  have no doubt about that.  It takes awhile sometimes, give them 30 solid working days before you freak out!
