Okay so I'm just adjusting my status at the moment and i'm confused. I'm including the EAD and travel authorisation into this and it seems as though visajourney guide only tell me the evidence to submit for the AOS rather than EAD and travel auth. Do i only submit two passport photo specifications or is it about 6 passport photo specifications for the other two forms? I'm confused :( Please help! thanks

It's a start to help you organize. Read the instructions to verify.

 

Sorry the items under the Affidavit of Support were indented further as subcategories of that I-864 form, but didn't paste that way.
