If I may ask, are you also going to include photos of marriage, and joint account information etc. as well when you send your packet? Or are these only needed for the interview when it is scheduled? We have everything assembled to send in a week (waiting for transcripts). Thanks and good to see you both again!

Hi Beng,

Nice to see that you're ready to submit your application!! You have a good list! I think that's all they need!

I filed almost the same checklist its just that we don't have joint sponsor and I applied for AP! So far no RFE sent to us! (I hope none) I got my application transffered to CSC!

Hi Davidand Jenny,

According to the AOS instruction (from USCIS pdf file) it didn't asked for wedding pictures! Maybe they only need it for the interview!

Mayeth

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF US!!!! :thumbs: Waiting Game again!! :whistle:
