Hi everyone! I'm in the process of completing my AOS package and I have a question about the I-864 that my husband is filling out. As for the supporting documents, would including the following be sufficient? : 1040 W2's 1099 Employment offer letter Payslips from previous 3 months Is the 1099 required? I wanna be sure we don't eventually get an RFE for forgetting something! Also is it required to fill out both of our savings amounts (part 7) or is that unimportant in the grand scheme of things? -
Hi everyone! My apologies if this has already been asked/answered or if it sounds dumb. I came here on a K1 and am about to adjust my status. I'm also looking into how to get a bank account and/or driver's licence shortly. However, I see that for both of these things they require proof of address. I'm a bit stuck with this because, typically proof of address is a bank statement, government-issued mail or some kinda bill - I don't have any of these. I have an SSN - not sure if I can use some part of that for it. Any ideas on what I can do? If I get put on my husband's lease can I then use something from that as a proof of address? Let me know!

Excellent thank you so much!!
-
This is probs a dumb question but I've seen some conflicting information! I've read in a few places that all K1 AOS packages should be sent to the Chicago lockbox. Idk if that just used to be this case but this page says that for me (living in Colorado), I should send mine to the Phoenix lockbox. Is this the case? Or do the K1 AOS's count as something slightly different? Let me know!
-
Ah yes, it does say British citizen! I didn't even think of looking at that haha - thank you!!
-
I guess I just don't 100% understand it. I've had the passport for my whole life but that's the extent of my 'uk citizenship' - idk if there's some grey area where I could have the passport and technically not be a citizen? Idk haha.
-
Ah darn! I was hoping I could go without the cost of doing it on photo paper (and less than what it'd cost to get new pictures taken).
-
Excellent thank you!

Hi everyone! I know I need to provide various passport-style pics with my AOS application, and can use the ones I got taken for my K1 interview. I no longer have the actual physical pictures that I got printed (the ones that are on proper photographic paper), but I have the digital version. Can I just print this on normal paper?

Hi everyone! Quick question as I'm filling out form I-765: In part 2, question 18a/18b, it says, "List all countries where you are currently a citizen or national." I put New Zealand in the first box since I was born there etc. But I also have an expired British passport that I got when I was a baby, since my Mum was born in Scotland. Should I also put the United Kingdom as a place that I am a citizen/national?
-
Yeah this is the case for mine too!
-
And I mean this in terms of using it on legal stuff as well as other things. On official things, does it have to match his two surnames? I just want one haha!
-
Hi everyone! I got married a few days ago and have a question about changing my surname. My husband technically has two last names but only uses both on legal/official things. If I take his last name, do I also need to take both, or can I just take the first (main) one?

Yeah I know but I’ve seen conflicting info about the certification of birth certificates. On the uscis website itself it just says a COPY of the birth certificate. https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/checklist-of-required-initial-evidence-for-form-i-485-for-informational-purposes-only
-
Exactly my thoughts and what I’ve found from researching
-
Yeah, exactly. My partner seems to think people receive their marriage certificates on the spot.
-
It didn’t explain much other than what an nz birth certificate looks like lmao. I don’t need to be reminded for the third time that I was unprepared, I can’t go back in time.
-
Yeah my problem is idk how I’m gonna get a certified copy of my birth certificate from a different country in 4 weeks.
-
Well I’m not married first of all 😅 Some people say the birth certificate doesn’t need to be certified, others say it does. I’m just super confused.
-
Hi all! I've been looking into putting together my AOS package for when I'll be filing in about a month. I've seen that they say ideally to attach a certified copy of a birth certificate. Is this a necessity? Or does it not matter as long as the copy includes all the things they need to see? I'm just a bit concerned that it'll take too long to get my birth certificate certified if I have to somehow do it in New Zealand when I have the certificate with me and need it done within 2-3 weeks. I just don't want an RFE! Also does the marriage certificate need to be certified too? I'm not sure how I'd have time to do that so close to the 90-day mark. Kind regards, Rosalea

Hi everyone! I've been in the US now for 2 weeks and have been a bit confused about what my insurance options are. It seems that I can't get normal travel insurance since I now 'reside' in the US (unless I just say that I reside/am a resident of NZ [I technically am haha]), and I can't get on my partner's health insurance til we're married, and the only other option is to pay like $300+ a month. Do you guys have any tips or recommendations? I'm currently considering doing the travel insurance since it'll be the cheapest, and in some ways I guess I'm legally sort of a 'visitor', so, that works out in my head. But let me know cos I also don't wanna do something wrong haha!
-
Yeah I just paid it online haha!

No available appointments at Auckland US consulate
Rosalea replied to Rosalea's topic in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion
Hi! I think it took about 2 weeks, and yeah we got a letter! Also wow what the hell?? Have you not received anything from the consulate? They should’ve received your case about a week after the nvc sent it to them. You should email them at aucklandIV@state.gov if you haven’t already! You should’ve been contacted by them like 4 months ago. -

I hope you haven't been waiting too long! And yup I did get an appointment which I had last week, thank god! -
Yeah that’s what I’m worried will happen with mine! It still says ‘ready’ rn.
