Question about the AOS check

[mohamed and trina 0]

How are you all ?

We are trying to get everything ready to file for AOS .

What we have to type on the check where it says '' For''?

Do we have to type AOS fee ? Adjustment of status fee?I-485 fee..............

Thank you so much

The "for..." part is not really important. I wrote i-485 fee.

It doesn't really matter as long as the "pay to the order of....", the date, and the amount is correct.

Good luck!

It doesn't really matter. USCIS doesn't usually look at the memo line. However, if you want to play it safe, you could write the beneficiary's name and the petition type, just in case the check gets separated from the petition package.

Do we have just to send 1 cover letter for everything or send a cover letter for I-485 and anther cover letter for I-765....

How many pictures ? just 2 for everything or we have to send 2 pictuers for each. 2 pictures for I-485 and 2 pictuers for I-765......

One cover letter should be fine. I didn't even send one.

I'm assuming that you're talking about passport photos..

for i-130, 1 photo of the petioner (USC) and 1 photo of the beneficiary (Foreign national)

for i-485, 2 photos of the foreign national

for i-765, 2 photos of the foreign national

He's adjusting from a K1. Unless there has been an unusually long time since they married (like two years or more), no I-130 should be required. Also, the K visa AOS guides on VJ say only two photos, attached to G-325A. They don't say anything about separate pairs of photos for the I-485 and I-765. If the forms are filed concurrently, I wouldn't think separate pairs of photos would be needed.

Sorry Jim you're wrong and apparently so are the VJ guides. Please read the AOS thread in my signature.

The EAD and AP both require 2 passport size pics each. WHY they do seeing they use the pic from biometrics I don't know but the instructions say it.

The AOS itself ALSO requires 2 passport size photos. The G-325A actually doesn't require ANY photos at all. It never did.

**Edit -- I am reporting the I-485 guide as it's obviously been copied from the guide requiring an I-130. This section here:

"Two passport-type photos (see specification) of the Non US Citizen Spouse. Write the full name on the back. Place in a plastic bag and label the bag "Photo of <Insert Name>". Attach the bag to a sheet of paper and place behind the corresponding G-325a."

actually refers to if you were including two G-325A's (i.e. when filing an I-130 you need USC and foreigner G-325As) you would make sure to attach the pics to the G-325A of the person they relate to. As a K1 AOS'er there's only one 325A required so the word "corresponding" is confusing. The photos have NOTHING to do with the G-325A and never did, they're just biographic info as well so it made sense to whoever wrote the guide to put them together.
