I think as long as it is postmarked before the date of the rate increase, you should be okay. :thumbs:

Fees start 7/30, if I am not mistaken... I would make sure you go next day delivery, but all applications received before the fee change date should be good.

YMMV

More like I-485, NOT I-130, they are adjusting status from K-1, not filing for a CR-1/IR-1 visa.

But yes a copy of marriage Certificate needs to be in the AOS package, and well as vaccination supplement from a civil surgeon.

I have seen some recommendations to "forget" to include things that are ready by the time of the deadline, and then supply the "missing/forgotton" document when a RFE is generated for the "missing/forgotten" document.

i would advise you to send it early enough in case you get RFE, i know it might not be convenient due to fees attached to each petitions.

What do you mean by RFE? An RFE certainly unlikely to be forthcoming within the first week the petition is filed.......

YMMV

Certainly not. But read his post again.

He implies VJ does.

I am not sure I got that from his post, but I suppose if you wanted to you could make that leap....
