Checklist of Required Initial Evidence for Form I-485 (for informational purposes only)

I came across this and wonder if most of this is going to ask for my info? Or is it mostly about my Fiance? What would he need?

This might be more useful and less confusing. The guides here on VJ were extremely helpful for us at each step of the way. https://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2/

 

Good luck!

Who are you? The USC or the foreign beneficiary?

Using the term "fiancé(e)" is not helpful in immigration forums. It doesn't tell us who is who so answering your question is difficult.

Sorry, I'm the USC.

 

Steve, I haven't throughly looked over everything in AOS yet but I got really curious when I saw it (The reason why I made this thread).

The beneficiary will supply most of this information as it about adjusting the beneficiary's status. USC already has a status,  as they are a USC.

As USC/petitioner your job when it comes to AoS filing is I-864. That the the only document you will need to supply and sign. I-485/I-765/I-131 belong to your beneficiary, as it is them applying for status. They are applying for status based on the fact they are married to you, the US Citizen (so not fiance/fiancee at this point!) so you will need to provide the proof you are indeed US citizen for the I-485. But you are not signing it. "Principal applicant" doesn't refer to you, but to your spouse.

Does he have to get another police certificate? Most of the things you mention are collected from the beneficiary at the visa interview phase of the process, at the interviewing embassy/consulate.

Maybe this will help you gain the proper perspective, the beneficiary is the one that needs to "Adjust Status." The USC (petitioner) already has US Citizen status, and doesn't need t adjust their status.

 

You have to be careful when reading the Form I-485. It, like many USCIS forms, are used for several types of immigration types.

 

Looking at a completed example of a Form I-485 may be helpful, here is one from the VJ K1 Visa Guides section: https://www.visajourney.com/examples/INS-Form-I-485.pdf

 

HTH.
