Total 6 is required. They will probably send you RFE. That's an easy fix.

[Pishi_Pishi 63]

Your packet seems to be in order. I sent less than you did. So far no RFEs. I didn't bother to send certified copy of marriage license, just regular black & white copy. Also did not include copy of USA passport. Good luck!

The AOS guide doesn't say it (though it should). It's stated in the instructions of the I-765 and I-131

Thank you and best to you too!

One other thing, I thought we could use the same passport photos from the interview since they were less than 6 months old. I now see they have to be within 30 days of filing AOS. Yay! More $$$!!

This is a fantastic post and great for people like me who find this next step of the AOS confusing. I'm going to refer to this when the time comes for me to file so once again thank you.

You're welcome! It is the most confusing part of this process. Only because I think the AOS guide on the site is incomplete.

Just for reference.....................

I-765 instructions for passport photos:

You must submit two identical color photographs of yourself taken within 30 days of filing your application. The photos must have a white to off-white background, be printed on thin paper with a glossy finish, and be unmounted and unretouched.

The passport-style photos must be 2" by 2". The photos must be in color with full face, frontal view on a white to off-white background. Head height should measure 1" to 1 3/8" from top to bottom of chin, and eye height is between 1 1/8' to 1 3/8" from bottom of photo. Your head must be bare unless you are wearing headwear as required by a religious order of which you are a member. Using pencil or felt pen, lightly print your name and Alien Receipt Number on the back of the photo.

I-131 instructions for passport photos:

If you are in the United States and filing for an Advance Parole Document:

You must submit 2 identical color photographs of yourself taken within 30 days of filing this application. The photos must have a white to off-white background, be printed on thin paper with a glossy finish, and be unmounted and unretouched.

NOTE: Because of the current USCIS scanning process, if a digital photo is submitted, it needs to be produced from a high-resolution camera that has at least 3.5 mega pixels of resolution.

The passport-style photos must be 2" x 2". The photos must be in color with full face, frontal view on a white to off-white background. Head height should measure 1" to 1 3/8" from top to bottom of chin, and eye height is between 1 1/8' to 1 3/8" from bottom of photo. Your head must be bare unless you are wearing headwear as required by a religious denomination of which you are a member.

You do not need to submit different paper works (passport photos, I-94, copy of passport and visa pages) if you are applying AOS, AP and EAD altogether except their corresponding application forms.

Appreciate that info on the passport photo's.

Quick question, I see you included a cover letter with your affidavit of support, is this recommended?

I read several posts where people included it. It doesn't hurt!
