Gathering all documents for AOS, please help

[johnnyv 20]

I am gathering all documents for my wife's AOS and I want assistance to make sure i'm not missing anything.

In my package I have :

• Cover letter
• Check for $1070
• Form I-485
• W-2's for 2011, 2012 and 2013 and transcripts for each year
• Employment letter and pay stubs from current job
• Form I-864 for myself
• Form I-864 for mother (co-sponsor)
• W-2s for 2011, 2012 and 2013 for mother
• Form G-1145
• Form I-765
• NOA2 approval copy
• Certified copy of marriage certificate
• G-325a passport photo
• Copy of foreign birth certificate and all pages of passport, including k-1 page)
• Unopened file given at medical exam
• Xray disc given at medical exam

I have also form i-693 but I'm not sure if I need it. Her medical was in February of 2014. Do I need to include this?

Is there anything else I need to add?

Is this the order that you are putting your application package in?

The check should be first on top of the G-1145. On the check you should put in the memo your wife's name and A# (if known, if not then DOB) Personally I have always sent certified checks to USCIS. Then after the G-1145 put the I-485. Try to keep things together as it relates to the forms you have. So, after the check and the I-1145, then the cover letter, then the I-485 and all evidence (marriage certificate) and forms that the I-485 instructions say you need (such as the G-325A and the I-693), then the I-864 for you and the documents that go with that, then the I-864 for your mom and the documents that go with that (your co-sponsor will need to submit a copy showing proof of their US Citizenship or Permanent Resident Status). I was told by a representative from USCIS that each form needs to the evidence requested so in case it is reviewed independently it can without issue. So, if one form says you need X and another form said you need X you send 2 copies of X and place them in your package at the corresponding location.

Did your wife enter the US with a K-1 visa? You might want to read the USCIS policy manual in regards to the I-693. http://www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume8-PartB-Chapter4.html#S-C-4

The x-ray disc is yours to keep, does not need to be submitted.

[johnnyv 20]

Okay, thank you. I'll make sure to keep the disc. I only thought I needed to submit it since we received two copies.

No, the list provided was in no particular order.

The link provided regarding i-693, I'm really still not sure. Is it saying because she had a full medical in Canada she doesn't need to submit a new i-693?

Did you see a civil surgeon in the US already to get an I-693? You said you have one already, so if you did, then include it. See this post about the DS-3025 and vaccination requirements > http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/428381-i-693-report-of-medical-examination-and-vaccination-report/?p=6206232

The joint sponsor needs to send more than just W-2s. They need to send a complete copy of their most recent tax return or tax transcript. Just a W-2 is not enough. They should also provide proof of their current income with a letter from employer and/or recent pay stubs. They are also required to provide proof of being a USC or LPR.

You are missing 2 passport photos for each form, and a copy of your I-94. Also, why are you not including the I-131?

No, she has not seem a civil surgeon in the US. She had her medical completed days before her interview in Canada and she's already fully vaccinated. We still have the envelope the doctor provided her that's unopened. Does this mean we only need to include the envelope with our AOS package and not include the i-693?

Also, we do have a copy of her i-94 and the i-131, I just forgot to include that on my initial post.

[johnnyv 20]

And we also have two passport photos.

[KayDeeCee 4,891]

You only include an I-693 if you have seen a civil surgeon in the US and had it filled out and signed by them. They would need to put the I-693 in a sealed envelope for you to include with your I-485. If your DS-3025 from the K-1 medical is filled out as described in the post I linked to, then just send a copy of the DS-3025.

[johnnyv 20]

I don't know thst we have a copy of the DS-3025 as the medical envelope we received hasn't been opened and we thought it isn't supposed to be open. Do you think it's in there?

[johnnyv 20]

Okay, I think I'm in the right direction now. Here's my updated list of documents.

• Cover letter
• Check for $1070
• Form I-485
• W-2's for 2011, 2012 and 2013 and transcripts for each year
• Employment letter and pay stubs from current job
• Form I-864 for myself
• Form I-864 for mother (co-sponsor)
• W-2s for 2011, 2012 and 2013 for mother, transcripts and paystubs
• Form G-1145
• Form I-765
• Form 1-131
• NOA2 approval copy
• Certified copy of marriage certificate
• I-94
• G-325a and passport photo
• Copy of foreign birth certificate and all pages of passport, including k-1 page)
• Copy of DS-3025.

Does this about wrap it up?

[KayDeeCee 4,891]

The I-485, I-765 and I-131 all require 2 passport photos each.
