AOS Packet

[MandL 12]

Hi Everyone!

I have few questions i hope someone could answer me.

I just want to ask if I need to include my husband's copy of passport? Or just my passport and US VISA?

Also when filling up AOS, EAD and AP should i put my Married Name on 3 Forms or just for AOS Form only? And the rest 2 form will be my maiden name? I just wanna make sure I'm doing it right.

And with Tax I-864 Affidavit of support I know I asked this already but i'm still confused

My husband didn't file Tax for year 2013 as he was student and I understand i need to list his 3 Most recent Tax and put $0 for 2013 however as per I-864 instruction it says to provide explanation and evidence as to why he didn't file it. We were thinking to submit shool transcript as evidence but We can't get his school transcript as he has balance from his previous school. So my question is do we still need to provide evidence and written explanation as to why he didn't file tax? Has anyone here has the same situation as me?

Thank's for answers in advance.

If you choose the Filipino naming pattern, First, Maiden and Husbands Last then from this point forward that is what your going to use. If you use a different naming pattern then you will need to carry extra documentation to prove who you are to match whatever document your using.

If your husband makes more than the 125% of the poverty level you only need to show 2014 earnings for his income level evidenced by his 2014 Income tax.

HOWEVER, if you read the form instructions carefully, it states that while they do NOT require additional financial information IF you have at least 125% of the poverty level, it says the USCIS can still ask for that information if they want. So in order to potentially avoid future questions, many people include financial information, including bank letter, letter from stockbroker, letter regarding mortgages, copy of deeds to a property, and any other financial assets... etc. It is far better to include too much information rather than not enough. If you choose to enter an amount for 2013 and 2012 you will be fine but attached your documentation.. For "no income" for 2013 attach a letter of explanation.

Hi GreenBaum,

We have the written explanation ready, but Do we really need to submit evidence that he went to school fulltime? We can't get his school transcript as he has balance. So This is what I'm worrying about.

I'm saying this to you very gingerly.... your worrying way too much. Your making something that is simple to complex. He has nothing that can prove that he was in school like, school ID, school transcripts? Semester grades. They don't have to be official official as I don't think they will even care. I really think you will have no problems because you meet the parameters for the poverty levels for 2014. The worse thing that can happen is that you get an RFE and you need to submit additional documents BUT I don't think that will happen.

Relax, finish your packet and send it in. Let's get this done!
