AOS and K2

[ghunt2121 1]

Looking over the general instructions for AOS for a K1 holder, I see no mention of anything about the children (holders of K2 visas).

1. Do all the same forms have to be filed for each person (in my case a K1 and two K2s)?

2. Are none of the forms shared?

The I-485 must be filed for each person along with the applicable fee (separate check for each application). On the I-485 for your wife, list her children in Part 3B and indicate that they will be applying with her. This will allow the USCIS to associate the children with her application. Essentially, as her application moves through the process, so do the applications of her children since their status is derived from hers. If the children are under age 14, you will not need a G-325A for them, though you will need one for your wife. You only need to do one I-864, since both your wife and the children will be covered by it. However, when Ann and I submitted the AOS/EAD/AP packages, we also made copies of the I-864 and included it in our stepson's package. You will probably also need an I-693 completed by a civil surgeon for each of them as well.

I hope that this helps. Have a great day!
