AOS - New Delhi/ India Filers

[Karri 0]

We've only just begun the AOS process. Still have tons of research to do before we are ready to send everything in. Still very confused on a lot...

Classic -

1) A # use the one from NOA2. Make sure that the I-94 number (it is not printed, they might have written in pencil) and NOA2 A# are one and the same.

2) Yes, fill out supplement 7. Take an example in vj OR ***removed***.

3) Yes fill NOA2 notice with I485 that's what we did.

4) Submit latest W2 - 2008 and then at least tax trasncript for 2008 in I864. If you feel that you can get 2006, 2007 use that as well.

Attach employment letter as well. Bank statemetn didnt seem necessary...however, I just included that as well.

5) For us the household size came to 2 - total me and my wife.

6)I485, I765, I131, I864, I693a are all needed. Nptice 693a. Dont need I130 at all as u filled out I129f.

We sent to the chicago lock box address via USPS Priority...

Take care,

Guys:

Moksha/Dilbert - I sent separate emails to you. I am trying to get everything completed this weekend. Got some bad news on Thursday. I am being severed from my job in 30 days. Not sure the implications it will have on AOS. Trying to get everything out ASAP.

Have my medical appt to get vaccination records transferred tomorrow.

I posted my questions on the AOS forum. Wanted to post here so I can get some help from you guys. Not sure if Karri has applied yet.

Here are my questions...

1) Do we put the the I-94 number or the A-number on the different forms. My wife has the A number (or what looks like the A number) on the I94 card.

2) Form 1-131, Adv Parole. Do we need to fill out Supplement, part 7 ? Is it required/necessary ?

3) K1 Approval notice..I send a copy of the K1 approval notice not the original, right

4) I864 questions...

Do I need to submit tax transcripts/W2s etc for the last 3 years or just most recent year, i.e. 2008?

Do I need to send an employment letter

Bank statements ?

I am thinking of what I had to do for I134, but I864 does not specify those things.

I-864, Ques 21, c (re: Household size). Do I put 0 or 1 ? The example form says 0.

I693 -- the parts that need to be filled out...

Part 1 (we fill this)

Part 2, #5, the Civil surgeon fills this out.

Part 5, the Civil surgeon fills this out.

For forms, we need to send the following ?

I485, I765, I131, I864, I693.

What about I-130 .. is that required ?

Where do you file the whole packet ?

File at:

USCIS

P.O. Box 805887

Chicago, IL 60680-4120

For courier/express delivery:

USCIS

Attn: AOS

131 South Dearborn - 3rd Floor

Chicago, IL 60603-5520

If I am sending everything overnight/Fedex, I should send it to the Dearborn address, right ?

Thanks for your help.

I'm confused about 693a, it doesn't reference that anywhere on the vaccination sheet we got but it does have US Department of State listed on it

Never mind, I received form DS-3025 and that is good enough, whew. Now I'm just confused on the Affidavit of Support since I recently lost my job and am trying to figure out how to fill it out for a co sponsor.

Hey, How's everyone doing...Karri..good luck..you will find a job soon. What's the area you are looking for..?

I work in the accounting department for major corporations, doing Accounts Receivable/payable. I had a job interview last week and it went really well. Now I'm on pins and needles waiting for their response sometime today. We got our co sponsor now and am waiting for them to return everything we need from them. Which reminds me, gotta work on AOS paperwork today. I need to do something besides sit around and wait for a phone call!

Karri - I dropped my packet sometime last week and my check was cashed. Still waiting to get my NOA1. I included a total of 8 photographs for my wife. 2 each for I-485, I-131, I-765, G325A.

Good luck.

ummm, photos aren't a requirement correct? I wasn't planning on including those until we go to the interview.

Heading to FedEx Kinkos right now to overnight this big book of my AOS packet! I'm excited to finally send this in! Now I'm broke but it's worth it!
