AOS for K-2 Visa

[nhatrang 0]

Hi all,

I am not sure what forms I need to fill out for K-2 AOS. I am using the following forms to apply for her mother (K-1) AOS:

1. G-325a

2. I-864

3. I-485

4. I-765 (optional)

5. I-131 (optional)

Can someone point me to the right direction with K-2 AOS please?

Many thanks in advance.

Nhatrang.

The link does not help. That is why I get confused and really need help.

My Fiancee (k1) and her daughter (k2) got to USA on 08/22/2006. We got married on 09/11/2006.

I am applying AOS for both of them. Do I need to fill out the I-130 for k2?

Many thanks in advance

nhatrang,

I-485 is the application for adjustment of status. It's instructions for what to include for the different types of applicants are quite clear.

For the avoidance of confusion, I-765 and I-131 are dependent on having an application for adjustment pending, but are not part of the application for adjustment and so should not be included in a list of 'what I need to apply to adjust status'.

Yodrak,

Thank you for clarification. So I will need two set of these forms:

G-325a

I-864

I-485

One for my wife and one for her daughter. I DO NOT need the I-130. Correct?

Also do they each need two passport photos or four passport photos?

Regards,

Nhatrang

I just did mine. Here is what I did.

G325A - 4 pages - 1 for each person

I-485 - 1 for each person

I-864 - photocopied and sent copies attached to each of the kids, sent original with mine. (I believe this is in the instrucitons)

2 pics each, unless applying for EAD then 4 for your wife.

I copied all of our stuff passport, birth certificates...etc and paperclipped those to each of our 'packages', attached photos and checks to each 'package'...then paperclipped the whole thing together.

Cristy,

Thank you for your response. I am very clear now.

Where did you send the packages to? I live in Maryland.

Thanks again?

Hi all,

Should I send the AOS packages for my wife K1 and step-daughter K2 separately or all together in one USPS package?

Thanks,

Nhatrang,

Correct, you do not need the I-130. But I see that you still haven't read the instructions.

Yes, send both applications in 1 (sufficiently large) envelope.

Thank you very much. I did read the instruction now.

I have a question on form I-325a for K-2:

My step daughter is 8 year old. Should she or her mom sign this form for her? There is no box for preparer.

Thanks,

I just did mine. Here is what I did.

G325A - 4 pages - 1 for each person

Children only need those and the biometrics fee if age 14 or older.

Nhatrang,

G-325a?

You need to read the instruction again.

If the child can sign her name have her do it, but otherwise have the mother sign it like this:

Child's Signed Name (By Mother)

What I did is tie a different colored ribbon around each application packet and then rubber bands around both.

My wife signed daughter's I-485 and put (by mother) next to the name. OK misread posted
