Last minute AOS Checklist!

Hi!

Looks good to me, and the address is correct.  I assume the foreign birth certificate is either in English, or you are also including a certified translation.  

 

Good Luck!

Thank you for posting this checklist, that helps me a lot

One question though on the Passport Type Photos - is there a requirement for how recent they should be? (I remember that was the case for the K1 visa, but is it the same for the AOS?)

Thanks

I can vaguely remember seeing somewhere that it needed to be within the last 6 months. But after reviewing the instructions for the I-485, it just says “taken recently”. Honestly, my husband got a ton of copies of the one he took for his medical (in May) and we just used those.

It's not specified in the form instructions.  Just says recent photographs.

If I am submitting all of the forms (i-485, i-765, i-131) together, do I need to provide multiple copies of the same evidence (ie 2 passport type photos, copy of foreign passport bio page, copy of foreign passport visa page, etc)? It looks like the OP submitted 6 passport type photos. Thank you.

My understanding is that they are each separate applications so they need their own evidence as they are processed separately.
