Hi All, I am just wondering if anyone knows of a detailed guide or instructions beyond the one given by USCIS on AOS based on marriage (for us particularly, it's AOS for visa overstay). I know there's a guide here: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1k3aos, but seems outdated and especially with the new i485 that just went into effect in August...hoping there's something more current.

 

Thanks for any insight everyone.

The guide is out-of-date with respect to the need for the G325a, but the other information is still relevant.
