I didn't see any one that open a topic for Sept / Oct filers, so I went ahead to open one.

I sent mine package yesterday (9/14) and here is my list

- Form I-130

- $355

- Copy of Petitioner's Birth Certificate (Front & back)

- Copy of marriage certificate

- G-325A @ 2 (one from me, one from my husband)

- Passport photo @ 2 (one from me, one from my husband)

- Evidence

----> 4 months bank statements, total 8 statements from 2 joint accounts

----> Holiday saving account statement

----> 1 month water, power & light bills

----> dog ownership

----> auto insurance bills & cards

----> hotel reservation for a trip

----> 20 photos

- Form I-485

- $1010

- Copy of alien's birth certificate

- alien's passport photo @ 2

- Sealed I-693

- Alien's Form G-325A

- Copy of marriage certificate

- copy of alien's passport (biographical page, visa, entry stamps)

- copy I-94 (front & back)

- copy of I-20

- Form I-864

----> 4 earning statements that included YTD earning

----> copy of 2009 W2

----> 2007, 2008, & 2009 tax return transcripts

I didn't send my I-765 since I have a valid EAD that will due till July 2011, I may send the form around March 2011 if my GC process is still pending at that time. I also didn't apply for AP because I have a F visa that will not allow me to reentry USA if I have AOS pending, so i just have to wait to my GC to do my traveling.

I spent almost 9 months doing research and I am confident of my package. I hope everything will go well and wish everyone luck if you are doing your paperwork this Fall & Winter.

Thank you for the replies.

I am adjusting based on F1, so hopefully someone who is doing the process in these two months will share the experience.

-------

After filing the AOS package, I then go through my copies again and found out some small mistakes I made.

for G-325A, I only know the country of birth of my parents, which is China, I only put China in the cell instead of just UNKNOWN. I hope I will not get RFE from that.

For I-864, it said "If you provide a photocopy of your tax return(s), you must include a copy of each and every FormW-2 and Form 1099that relates to your return(s). Do not include copies of these Forms if you provide an IRS transcript of your return(s) ratherthan a photocopy." I gave the transcripts and 1 copy of 2009 W2. I didn't see this part till today. Hopefully, it will not be a big deal when they check my paperwork. Also, I only included 3 months pay subs instead of 6 months to proof employment. (but the pay subs have YTD earning, so I hope it will be fine)

Anyway, the package was delivered on the 16th. . i am looking forward to receiving the email/txt notice from USCIS. I sent the E-notification form among with the package.

I got the msg from USCIS that my applications have been received. I can't check mine, I think the # is available but not yet in the system.

I got a msg that " We suggest you wait until you have received your Form I-797 before checking My Case Status." So I guess we should just wait for the actual I-797.

I just snet out my AOS package on Saturday, September 18, 2010, to the Chicago Lockbox. Now the waiting begins. :dance:

Hi Everyone,

I have been here quite a while hoping that it will be over soon. I had my I-130 approved in August but I-485 denied because we failed to submit one single document. The W2 from my joint sponsor. Anyhow I have refiled again and hopefully everything will go smoothly this time.

Good luck to everyone!!!!
