Supporting Evidence

[Vera&Ken 0]

Hi, Everybody!

Thank you all for your replies/comments to my previous questions. We are assembling our AOS package and have question about supporting evidence (joint accounts, bills, photos, etc). Do we need to provide it all when we file for AOS or we need to provide it at the interview?

Thank you in advance,

Vera.

Some support eveidence needs to be filed with the AOS package such as support evidence for your

Affidavit of support, you will need to send in copies of recent tax returns, copy of paystub

and statement of bank account

For the interview you need to provide documentation showing co-mingling of finances ( such as joint utility bills, banks accounts, insurance ect..)

Each form for the AOS package has specific instructions on what needs to be filed with it as support evidence.

If you are filing with a concurrent I-130 you will need to submit evidence of bona fide marriage docs, but if you are adjusting from a K1 (as in you were married prior to expiration of the I94) then the documentation would be accepted at the interview (if there is one)

The types of evidence you are talking about is not sent with the AOS package, it is brought to an AOS interview.

We followed the VJ AOS guide.
