Well I'm getting ready to begin the AOS process and wondered if any of you would like to start a thread. I came from the SAWASDEE thread for the K-1 VISA. I just applied for the SSN and it should be here soon. Now we are close to being married and starting the AOS process. Where is a good place to get info on the forms? Thanks everyone and please add to this thread. :P

I met my honey in Iloilo!!!

Woo! Big red letters. *_* Let me put my shades on....

I found the best thing to do with the AOS process is refer to the Guide posted there and try to find someone(s) in similar circumstances as you here on the board. IE: search for someone from Oklahoma who has done the I-485 process.

Info on the forms: go to USCIS first, get the specific forms and make a straightforward checklist. Then I would look at the example forms on the website here -- they're a great comfort to compare against, especially when there's an area you don't know about.

It's also a great idea to read up on other interviewees and see what they've compiled to take with them to their interviews. For example:

(1) Evidence of joint finances

(2) Past three years' tax returns, this year's W2s, pay stubs, etc.

(3) Biographic info, etc.

If you've done K1, I imagine most of this is going to be pretty familiar. :)

Received our rescheduled biometrics appointment letter today. Looks like things are moving again, I was afraid we would have to schedule an infopass appointment. We had to reschedule due to a cut on her finger, so NOA1 to bio = 115 days.
