K1 AOS Checklist

[Adam&Abby 1]

Hi,

 

We are ready to send out our AOS application for my K1. We want to make sure that we have everything. This is what we have in our folder so far (in that particular order):

 

 

- Check to USCIS

 

- Cover letter

 

- Copy of:

       1) USC passport page
       2) Copy of immigrant passport page
       3) Copy of marriage certificate
       4) 2 passport photos (immigrant)

 

- I-130 form: Petition for Alien Relative (since we are filing after the K1 visa expired)

 

- I-485 form: Adjustment of Status

 

- I-864 form: Affidavit of Support, in addition to copies of:

                    1) Letter of employment

                    2) Bank Statement

                    3) Most recent pay stubs

                    4) W2's from last 3 years

 

- I-765 form: Employment Authorization

 

- I-131 form: Advanced Parole

 

(No I-944 form since I was informed that it has been discontinued)

 

Is there anything that we are missing?

 

Thank you for your help and suggestions in advance.

Not needed unless you MARRIED after the 90 days.   The K1 visa expired the moment you went thru the port of entry.

Second that. As long as you got married during the 90 days you're good.

 

What about tax transcripts or returns? You need at least the most recent one.

Everything looks great. Except for the i130..

Remember to include your most recent Tax Transcript..received an RFE and haven't heard from them since they received the rfe. GoodLuck

What about the  I-693 form? (Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record)

What about it?  During your overseas medical,  if you fulfilled the vaccination requirements at that time, an i693 is not required 

[Adam&Abby 1]

I did fulfill my vaccinations. But do I need to attach proof of that in my AOS? since I won't be sending the I-693

They already have the ds3025 as it is a part of the medical.   However, you can include if you desire.

Since you'll be a September filer this thread might be helpful. Especially the first post

We actually did get married after the 90 days. So I'm aware I need to include the I-130. Is there anything I need to submit with that form that's in relation to it (separate fee to USCIS, copies of birth certificates, etc)?

The I-130A and all of the documents need for the I-130.   You will pay the fee for the I-130 as well.

 

You are now doing an adjustment from "other visa" and concurrently filing.   The K1 is meaningless.

In this case, you'll also need evidence for the relationship.

Does this mean my case will get adjudicated differently, or will the time it takes for the AOS interview be any different, than that of a regular K1?

You have taken the worst parts of a fiance visa and combined it with the worst part of a spousal visa.

 

You get  AP/EAD in the same fashion as a K1

Your I-130 / I-130A has to be approved prior to getting the Green Card.  That is over a year.

 

You get to pay the fees for the AOS

You get to pay the filing fee for the I-130

Would this be ok for my cover letter:
