Marriage GC

[Anna_Funimo 0]

Hi everyone,

I am sending my paperwork for Green Card soon and would like to double-check couple of questions before doing so.

I am on work visa in the US and married my husband (he is a U.S. born citizen) in June. So basically will be adjusting my status here in the States. My husband and I have decided to send his I-130 and my I-485 and other forms together in one envelope.

How do I organize the whole case? Since there are a lot of forms and documents, I was thinking of using ACCO fasteners with tabs on the bottom instead of stapling or paper clips, like I read here http://www.uscis.gov/forms/forms-and-fees/general-tips-assembling-applications-mailing%C2'>

Also I have no idea what type of cover letter should my husband write for my paperwork. Any samples or ideas?

I have the following documents:

Form I-130

One color photo of my husband

One color photo of me

G-325A for both of us

Copy of my husband's birth certificate

Copy of my husband's US passport

Copy of marriage certificate at courthouse

Copy of marriage certificate at church

Form I-485

My birth certificate - translated and signed by a certified translator.

Copy of my passport, all pages, including the U.S. visa page and I-94 front page

Form I-864

Original letter of my husband's employment on company's official letterhead

Copy of y husband's latest (2012) Tax Statement with W2 - is one year enough or should I put more?

Copies of my husbands latest pay stubs

Should I add any more supporting documents for I-864? My husband's salary is above the poverty guideline, so we won't need a joint sponsor.

Form I-131

Two color photos of me

Do I need to attach a separate sheet of paper, explaining why I need the advance parole? If yes, what type?

Form I-765

Copy of I-797A Notice of Action (my work visa approval notice)

Sealed medical exam records in an envelope from a local civil surgeon.

Thanks in advance,

Anna

I went through this list (http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2) and organized the relevant material in similar structure. After gathering everything i had/needed, I searched for an AOS cover letter sample.

I created one cover letter for the overall packet, one specifically for the I-130 and another for the I-485. The medical envelope and I-864 i included under the I-485 'section'.

I ended up just using binder clips for each major section, then two rubber bands just before placing it in the express envelope.

With regards to the I-864, we sent 3 years of tax returns, W-2s and 1099s as well as 6 months of printed pay stubs - better to send too much info than too little.

Thank you for your reply!

Did you have a chance to look through the list that I have prepared, does it look good?

And does the marriage certificate has to be certified copy or regular copy is sufficient?

Your forms seem light. For example, where are your copies for evidence?

Go through the checklist I linked to above and compare it to what you currently have.

I didn't apply for I-131 and I sent in 5 photos of myself and 1 of my spouse in total with the packet.
