Help Needed- AOS from H1B

[Sone 0]

Hello All,

So I am getting ready to send my AOS package. I have a truck load of questions. Hope you guys will be able to help me out.

A little background. I am from India and is on H1B visa. I got married in feb 22 in a courthouse to my wife (USC). She is currently a full time student and is not working. So no income. She used to work till last year and has her W2 forms till last year.

So here are the questions I have.

1. For showing proof of valid marriage, How many months’ bank statements are required? Is one month fine? Is it a problem if one of

the old statements shows a different address?

2. Can I show my income in support of affidavit. My wife used to work till last year, but now she is a full time student.

3. Do we need to submit documents from my employer stating my salary or is it enough to provide W2 forms and a letter from my employer stating that I am an employee of the company?

4. For proof of valid marriage, is it ok to have just 1 sworn affidavit, 1 bank statements each for 4 different accounts,1 credit card statement and 1 void check leaf for yet another bank account. I also have a common health insurance card, auto insurance. She being listed as my emergency contact at my work place. A summary page from work which shows her as my beneficiary, Cellphone bill with her and my phone number. Also I have a online Air ticket confirmation mail for a vacation we had together with both our names on it. Are these proofs enough.

5. I don’t have any proofs for any vaccination as my vaccines were administered in India. I don’t think there is any way to get a proof for this. I might have a proof for the Flu shot I have taken. Will I have to get all the vaccinations again.

6. Is there a premium processing to get things going faster?

7. Do I need separate checks for each fees or just one check

I know it is a long list of questions. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you for taking time to go through this.

Thanks

1. For showing proof of valid marriage, How many months’ bank statements are required? None but highly recommended. the more you have the better. Is one month fine? Yes. Is it a problem if one of

the old statements shows a different address? No.

2. Can I show my income in support of affidavit. My wife used to work till last year, but now she is a full time student. Yes. Message me if you need help.

3. Do we need to submit documents from my employer stating my salary or is it enough to provide W2 forms and a letter from my employer stating that I am an employee of the company? It's enough without the salary. Add 6 paystubs with that.

4. For proof of valid marriage, is it ok to have just 1 sworn affidavit, 1 bank statements each for 4 different accounts,1 credit card statement and 1 void check leaf for yet another bank account. I also have a common health insurance card, auto insurance. She being listed as my emergency contact at my work place. A summary page from work which shows her as my beneficiary, Cellphone bill with her and my phone number. Also I have a online Air ticket confirmation mail for a vacation we had together with both our names on it. Are these proofs enough. Yes. Perfect. The more the better. Add pictures with descriptions on the back and dates.

5. I don’t have any proofs for any vaccination as my vaccines were administered in India. I don’t think there is any way to get a proof for this. I might have a proof for the Flu shot I have taken. Will I have to get all the vaccinations again. Yes. You need to download and add the I-864 form and then go to a "civil surgeon" and get all of this done here in the U.S. go to the uscis website to find a civil surgeon.

6. Is there a premium processing to get things going faster? No.

7. Do I need separate checks for each fees or just one check. One check for I-130, one check for I-485($1070 this includes biometrics)
