CAN SOMEONE HELP? :)

So me and my partner are about to go through the AOS process. I just want someone who has also been through this, or is in the process to check and see if we have it right?

We are filing the I-485 and the I-130 at the same time.

So we have put together the package and it looks something like this

I-130 Package

- G-1145 e notification

- Cover letter

- Form 1-130

- USC birth certificate (front and back)

- UK birth certificate

- UK full passport copy

- Certified copy of our marriage certificate

- G-325A biometrics USC

- USC passport style photo

- G-325A UK citizen

- UK citizen passport photo

+ All our documentation proving the marriage is bona fide

I-485 Package

- G-1145 e notification

- Form I-485

- Copy of UK citizen passport

- electronic I-94

- UK citizen birth certificate

- Certified copy of marriage certificate

- G-325A biometrics UK citizen

- 2 Passport photos

- I-693 Medical examination

- I-864 Affidavit of support + Co-Sponser Affidavit of support

- I-765 (Employment)

I would much appreciate the help thank you all!

You don't need UK passport copy and birth certificate for i130

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

The most common RFE is for mistakes on the I-864. You have a co-sponsor so what evidence are you including?

You also need 2 photos for the I-765, and I take it you don't want to apply for I-131?

With the I-864 we have the co sponsors tax returns from the most recent year. No I don't want to apply for I-131. Does everything else look right?

7. A copy of the intending immigrant's birth certificate and/or passport along with English translation. (If in any language other than English)

That is what it says on the step by step guide on this website

True, but sometimes VJ is not updated.

The i130 instructions doesn't say you need to add it. just send whatever they ask for in the instructions

If you file i 485 with i130, you will have to add those document anyway

Okay thank you that helps so much! Are you adjusting from VWP too?

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

With the I-864 we have the co sponsors tax returns from the most recent year. No I don't want to apply for I-131. Does everything else look right?

Then you are missing things.

1. Correct I-864 documents for petitioner/sponsor, like completed form and tax return. If no tax return was filed, letter of explanation.

2. Proof of USC or LPR for co-sponsor.

3. Proof of current employment for co-sponsor.

4. Make sure the tax returns are complete or get tax transcripts instead.
