I know that people used to go through DORA in OKC, Texas & New Mexico, but where do people from Oklahoma file for AOS now? Is DORA still going on in Oklahoma?

My fiance is entering November 24th, we are getting married December 15th and then we are filing for PR on January 15th. Since he has not been here with me and we are only going to be married for a month, when we apply for PR, then it makes it a little difficult to have anything more than bank statements, utility bills, life insurance policies, etc. for proof of our combined lives. I mean I own my house and two vehicles. We are not going to (a) have time to change these things and (B) financially don't wish to......

Any other suggestions of proof of our lives together to submit with our AOS papers (of course we will have wedding photos, old photos, wedding certificate, etc...)

Also, when we apply for AOS and pay the monstrous fee of $1,010... doesn't that automatically cover our EAD & other stuff also.

Can someone send me a "breakdown" from date of applying to actual receipt of greencard in mail of what to expect....For instance:

1) apply

2) received NOA1....

Thanks, sorry for long question, just like to be totally prepared!

If you live in the jurisdiction of Oklahoma City, you file your AOS petition at that office, if you are not in the jurisdiction of OKC you file the petition through the Chicago PO BOX.

Enter your ZIP code into this locater to find the field office that has jursidiction over where you live.

I don't know why you want to wait a month after getting married to file for AOS -- you can find the next day if you want to. I wouldn't wait at all, just get the marriage certificate ASAP and file.

You don't need proof of your life together at the time of filing -- you just need the affidavit of support with accompanying documentation. Photos (recent or old) are not required at the time of filing either (other than the applicant's passport pictures for the G-325A). You just need the marriage certificate (and a photocopy will do at the time of filing).

Just read the guides!

Also, when we apply for AOS and pay the monstrous fee of $1,010... doesn't that automatically cover our EAD & other stuff also.

Yes, the $1010 fee covers the EAD (I-765) and AP (I-131) fees if you file them at the same time as AOS (just throw them all in the same package).

Can someone send me a "breakdown" from date of applying to actual receipt of greencard in mail of what to expect....For instance:

1) apply

2) received NOA1....

You can see my timeline below about that, but it's different for a lot of people. Also look at the July and August filers topics to give you an overall idea.
