Hi Bradoony!

 

Thanks for your reply. I follow that thread too. However, I find it’s mainly for family based AoS. This will be for employment based AOS (if there is any). I am not sure if there is any difference.

That's good in my opinion. Did you submit your I-693 along with your I-485? 

 

After biometrics I got a RFE for Supplement J (which I don't need to submit) and I-693 (which I was planning to take for the interview). So if all your documents is there, there is no reason to send a RFE. I have a feeling that they are going to waive the interview as well. Good luck!

 

Also which employment category are you in?

oh i’m a family-based aos. This covid19 fast forwarded everything for us. Went here to visit family and my boyfriend. He proposed the day after i arrived in january. We were planning on a destination wedding in my home country but covid happened and flights got cancelled. we anticipated that this pandemic will make it harder to travel, so we got married by march the week before everything went on lockdown.

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.

Great! You should check this thread. It is mainly a group of family based Petitioners and very active group of June filers. I am also there.
