Questions and Concerns

[mgleason 0]

Hey everyone,

My wife and I are new to this forum. Her K1 visa expires 08/14/2007, but because the state of WA took so long in sending our marriage certificate, we're only now beginning the process of filing for the AOS.

Anyways, I have a couple questions just to help me get started...

1. Do I only need one money order of $1010?

2. My wife does not have a birth certificate, let alone one translated in english. What should we do???

3. I only now started working full-time so the most evidence I could supply would be a few pay stubs and a letter from my employer. Will this be enough??? My stepfather filled out an affidavit of support when we applied for the fiance visa and gave us 2 copies back in Feb. Can we just use the second copy or should we have him do another one???

4. How much does the EAD cost and should we include that in the original money order or should we make out a seperate one?

Thanks for your help,

Matt & Jacque

The Affidavit of Support used for AoS is a different form than the one used for the K-1 visa application, so yes, you will have to have your dad fill out another form. The form you need this time is I-864. Have him tick the "I am the only joint sponsor" box on the first page.

4. How much does the EAD cost and should we include that in the original money order or should we make out a seperate one?

The $1010 you mentioned include the fee for the EAD application (and for the Advance Parole application as well)

hi mgleason

concerning your wife's birth certificate..how did you go when it was needed for the K1 visa ...might have to do the same thing as before for AOS...

the new fees come into affect on the 30th july...even if you dont want to apply for AP or EAD its all included in the fee..

can you fill out your timeline also..cos i was looking at it and thought you were only up to waiting for an interview..

good luck to you both

Have her family obtain a birth certificate for her and send it here. If she is fluent in English she can translate it herself and add a "certificate of translation" at the end. You will find the information for that here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...p;page=assembly

You can't send the package without the birth certificate... well you can but you would get a RFE.
