I-485 application to register permanent Residence or Adjust status

I 864 Affidavit of support  -- What proof of US citizenship should I use? Birth certificate or passport ID page?

I-131 Application for travel document

I-765 application for employment authorization 

G-1145  e notifications

Will also include 1 year IRS  tax record

401  account at least 5x of poverty level

2 passport photos in a plastic bag with name on outside

Birth certificate 

copy of Noa2 approval I-797

marriage certificate 

DS3025 vaccination documentation worksheet 

Transcribed into English medical report

Passport copies of info page and K1 visa page 

I-94  

We have hear from other AOS filers that we don't need a I-693 report of medical examination.  I do read on here to get a surgeon general to transfer medical info to a I-693

 

There is so many conflicting lists of requirements out there.. Example is to  just look on this website and the main AOS pinned topic is so old and flawed it should be deleted.

We have her SS card.. that took about 18 days to get.  Her K1 is good until July 31 We hope to file before then. 

 

Any help or corrections would be apricated.

Oh I was going to turn in an I-134 but I guess that is not needed? 

as long as you get married within the 90 days is all that matters.. You can file after expiration it doesn't matter. Is the marriage that matters. I suggest you follow that forum i just pasted. It has a complete list and that's the on i used and everything was fine.

I don't see where you posted a thread? 

on the I-765 Part 2 item 27  is a spouse on a K1 a C9 eligibility category?

And Can anyone confirm that the total amount on the check I need to include is 1140$?

as I read it if a pending I-485 you don't need to pay the 485$ for the I-131 

For some reason I had a 1400-1500$ number budgeted in my head for this AOS.

It should be $1225 on the check ($1140 form fee + $85 biometrics fee)

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be  I just get severe procrastination issues with this visa stuff.

Got the cover letter and I re-read all the how to fill out forms again... Seems like we got it.

My Thai wife seems to have great help groups on facebook .

ra0010,

you sent in proof of marriage?  I didn't think this was needed?  Ae you saying a lawyer told you to do this due to covid and maybe your interview would be cancelled? . 

Thanks all for you help. I am rereading all the instructions carefully.  of course I print out an d recheck everything. I swear my form wont add up the numbers and had a 1 struck in the total from when I first open in from the government site.  Maybe my laptop isn't using the acrobat reader that's installed or using a copy or something but to me it looks like I am viewing it on a URL right from the government site.  

I did read in the instructions that if you met the income requirements last year you don't need to put assets but I think in my case it is best I do as I am using this IRA to supplement my income from rental activities when needed.

We did open a joint account which I guess may help at the interview.  I did add her to one utility bill but the display line cuts off after just the first few letters of her name so it seems pointless and unnecessary to do this.  

Hi there. Yes, if it’s a marriage based AOS you need to send your marriage certificate. It’s one of the documents requested in the I-485. Make sure you do read the instructions carefully and make a list of the documents needed.

We didn’t use a lawyer. We DIYed with the help of VJ and some YouTube videos.

Our interview was scheduled for March 18 2020, right when COVID hit. So they called us the day before to cancel it. After a few days we received a letter from the FO asking us to send them the evidence that we were going to show at the interview. We did, and were approved roughly 2 weeks after they received it.
