CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE WHO GOT APPROVED AND GOT THEIR GREENCARD...

we got married last nov 4 and now i am in the process of filling-out the forms and gathering documents for the AOS...now i need help for the following:

1. Address - C/O

2. What should i put in line "Current USCIS status" in Form 1-485?

3. Were you inspected by a US immigration officer? (I handed to him the yellow envelope and asked me some questions before stamping my !-94).

4. In what status did you last enter?

5. Applying with you? Under list of husband/wife?

Thanks for all your help and support...wish we could get this through smoothly...I will also file an EAD with this form...am i right that the total fee is $1010?

thanks again...

You may want to use the sample form here in VJ as your pattern because that's what I did, but to answer your questions, here it is.

1. Just you and your husband's address, don't worry about the C/O

2. K1 Visa holder

3. Yes

4. K1 or K1 Visa holder

5. You have to make this one clear because I looked for this on my own form and didn't find it

I believe it's correct, $1010 including AP and EAD. Good luck!

--Mae

thats the part that asks you to list husband/ wife and all children.

Thanks thanks a lot...two more things though...

1. How should i sign the form? under "signature" --- the signature appearing in my passport (with my maiden name) or a new signature with my married name (with this though, i still have no other documents with a new signature)...How did you sign yours????

2. Shall I include a new form G-325A with the AOS application???

3. Could you give me a summary of uscis form/info/documents that should come with the AOS applxn???

Many thank yous to all!

1. sign using married name.

2.yes, include a new G-325a

3. the guide here on VJ is very helpful. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...mp;page=k1k3aos

Wife just finished her interview last week!

Befor her interview we searched for information

detailing what the process would be like and so

we looked here.

But this thread seems to be packed with other

than the interview process.

We would like to give input concerning my wife's

interview process but this don't seem like the

right place?

Can someone let us know where we can give

input on my wife's interview for other to

benefit???

Thanks!!!

I propose doing a one or more of the following:

* Post your wife's experience within this thread

* Create your own thread posting your wife's experience

* Provide a review of the Manila Embassy when you update your timeline

Cheers!!!
