My fiancee and I are getting married on Saturday! :) We are both flying to my old home state tomorrow for the wedding.  With that in mind, we want to get her adjustment of status filing done as quickly and painlessly as possible so that we can get on with married life.

 

A couple questions:

 

  1. I don't think the consulate in Sydney gave her her medical results.  Is that going to be a problem?  She was approved for the K-1 visa a few weeks ago, so she must have passed.
  2. Even though I definitely make a high enough income for sponsorship now, I barely reached 100% FPL last tax year (2017). So I am thinking to be on the safe side, I will still list the amount of money in my bank accounts as assets.  Do I need to get an updated bank letter and include a year's worth of bank statements for all 5 of my bank accounts again?  She took a lot of this paperwork to her interview!  The bank letter we got was dated just over 3 months ago.

  1. I don't think the consulate in Sydney gave her her medical results.  Is that going to be a problem?  She was approved for the K-1 visa a few weeks ago, so she must have passed. They sure diiiiiid. It was in the sealed yellow packet. SURPRISE! USCIS has it now so you only need to submit a photocopy of the DS3025 vaccination record with the I485.
  2. Even though I definitely make a high enough income for sponsorship now, I barely reached 100% FPL last tax year (2017). So I am thinking to be on the safe side, I will still list the amount of money in my bank accounts as assets.  Do I need to get an updated bank letter and include a year's worth of bank statements for all 5 of my bank accounts again?  She took a lot of this paperwork to her interview! You file a completely different form for AOS which is the I864 to prove you can sponsor the GC applicant financially. If you were not aware the affidavit of support is asking you to provide CURRENT income (yes, even the I134 was asking that) therefore you can provide evidence of what you make now by submitting an employer verification letter and 6 months worth of paystubs. You could still send copies of CURRENT bank statements and you still must submit the most recent Income Taxes. But yes, you will have to prepare everything again so it reflects your current financial situation.

Sorry for the delay - we got married Saturday, and we've been quite busy with the wedding and moving! :)

 

I won't have 6 months worth of paystubs yet.  I started my job in October and was self-employed before taking that job.  Also my work doesn't provide paper copies of pay stubs.  All I've seen so far is direct deposit records in my bank account from my company.
