Couple of Questions before filing AOS

[Jaccerz 1]

We got married just over a month ago, neither of us are changing surnames as we are both female. Im waiting for my Police check to arrive in the mail from Australia. but due to covid the mail is slow af. we also havent recieved a certified copy of marriage cert yet from the local county because usps apparently lost it.

I have been in the country for 2 months. 

 

How long do i have to file a AOS? And when/how do i go about getting a SSN?

Mention you want to apply for SSN on i485 and i765. You'll get it whichever gets approved first.

I don't recall AOS calling for police check. You may be wasting time on a document that is not needed.

You are reading it wrong. You ONLY have to provide police and court records of criminal charges, arrests or convictions IF APPLICABLE. If you do not have a criminal history, you do not need to provide anything.
