We received our batch of three emails (and similar sms) last night at 9.30 pm saying they had received our packet and are transferring it to the National Benefits Center. Gave us our receipt number and said we should expect the physical copy of the I-797 in the mail in 7-10 days.

Exciting! I know every step is usually a slow process, but I get excited when I get any communication from them! 

 

We mailed our our packet on July 3rd. It was supposed to be 2 day delievery....didn't happen. Just checked tracking, it has finally arrived at the post office. Now, just to wait for USCIS to pick it up! Hoping we get our notifications soon!

For those that filed the new version of form i 485 what did you put for question number 2 in part 2?

I answered no to this. However looking into it, I'm not so sure anymore. Subsection (i) of the INA covers a few things, and the wording is a little tough to make heads of tails of. Maybe someone with better knowledge than I will come along soon. 

We also answered no. I looked up this subsection and it appeared to apply to people that entered without inspection or were present in the country when the LIFE act was passed. I wasnt completely sure but it didnt seem to fit our application.

I am not 100% sure I was correct but I put our receipt number for our I-797 NOA2 from the approval of the I-129 form (We are doing the K1 AOS transition). I read that K1 doesn't have a priority date so it can be left blank.

I think you mean the I-129F?

 

I put the receipt number for the I-129F also, and the date it was approved as the NOA2 doesn't have a priority date.

No, they will have those documents already in the case file (the A# links them all).  You need:

 

  1. I-485 - Adjustment of Status Application
  2. Evidence requested with I-485
    a.       Copy of Passport Biographic Page
    b.       Copy of I-797 “NOA2” from K1 Visa Application
    c.       Copy of Electronic I-94 Electronic Page
    d.      Copy of K1 Visa and Entry stamp from passport
    e.      Copy of Immigrants birth certificate (with English Translation, if applicable)
    f.       Copy of Marriage Certificate
    g.      If applicable, copy of Divorce Certificate(s) for previous marriage(s) of either the Immigrant or the US Citizen
  3. I-864 - Affidavit of Support
  4. Evidence requested with I-864

    a.       2016 Tax Transcript for US Citizen

    b.      2015 Tax Transcript for US Citizen

    c.       2014 Tax Transcript for US Citizen

    d.      Five most recent pay stubs for US Citizen

    e.      Letter from employer indicating salary and employment details for US Citizen
    f.       W-2 of US Citizen, if available

  5. I-131 - Application for Advanced Parole (including supplement if you plan more than one trip).
  6. I-765 - Application for Employment Authorization Document
  7. Your fee including the biometrics fee.
  8. 6 Pictures (2 for I485 and 2 each for I131 and I765).

 

I think this is everything, please chime in if anyone can think of anything else. Also, note this is for the most common and likely scenario. It will be different if you have additional sponsors for the I-864 or your country doesn't have birth certificates, etc.

After seeing people put three sets of two passport photos (one set for I485 and one set for I765 and one for I131) we only set one set of passport photos with our packets. Do you think there is a way to send in additional passport photos or should we just wait for the request. I'm kicking myself right now.

If it makes you feel any better, so did we. I read a lot online about it and there are many people who sent only 2 and things went just fine, but there are others who got an RFE for additional photos. All you can do is wait and see if you get an RFE.
