This thread is very helpful. Thank you all for participating. 

 

My husband (USC) is submitting form I-130 online today as I'm getting ready to mail other forms (I-485, I-131, I-765) in by Feb 24th. Did anyone go through a similar process of submitting I-130 online? If so, do I need to include anything regarding our I-130 filing with all the other forms we are mailing in?

Be sure to  double check for the current fees as fees do sometimes increase for the new year, so please check. Additionally check the forms as listed above i.e., current version and or edition date. Consider sending tax transcripts instead of the 1040, and W2's. Also consider preparing a cover letter for each form in addition to the main  cover letter. Hope this helps in your preparation of your AOS. When in doubt ask questions.

Question about your I-864 materials...you said to consider using tax transcripts instead of 1040 and W2's but I saw that you also included in Tax Return with W-2 as well as a letter. If we just include tax transcripts and the paystubs from the last 3 months, do you think that is enough?

 

We can try to gather more information but that would take too long and we would like to submit everything asap.

 

Thank you for your help on this!

May I know which date your check been cashed? 

Cuz I got my case number from USCIS rep.but I saw my bank shows processing still so I don't know if USCIS got my money or no?

Cuz so far I haven't got any text or email notificateion yet?

 

The case numbers are what matter. Do you honestly think your Uncle Sam won't get his money? Don't worry about the money it WILL get taken, remember today is a bank holiday.

That's  tax transcript or 1040 and w2s. With tax transcripts you don't  have to supply the 1040 and w2s. Transcript is preferred but the 1040 and w2s will work. The letter from your employer is needed regardless if your using a transcript or 1040. I would suggest if you don't  have the transcript now, when you request it use the deliver online  mode, as the mail option takes about 10 days to get. You don't  have time to waste waiting for the mail.  February  24th is next week!

Kindly let me know. Planning to submit our docs today.

The first post of this thread is an accurate outlay of what is needed in your packet. It list 2 photos for EACH. If you send less than what they ask for be prepared for an RFE!

thanks @Sarge2155. noticed that but since im filling concurrently the three forms, i dont think i need to provide multiples copies of each proof as well, such as i-94, copies of i-797, or birth certificates.  im asking for photos because those could not be reproduced at their site. but please correct me if my understanding is wrong.

Most of us do file  concurrently,  keep in mind  in case  you did not know the I-485 is approved at your local  office, the I-131 and the I-765 are adjudicated at NBC, in other words each packet is broken  up and each of the forms are treated as a stand alone form. Thus they ask for triplicate  forms. Your packet does not remain together.

Please don't  read into the requirements meaning what YOU think is required, if you do that expect a hard time from USCIS.

I used the Credit Card Authorization Form G-1450 instead of a check. My Credit card was charged on February 14th. I didn't get a case number though, just a text that said "Your case has been receieved".
