Hi Royo1 Yes, you will need to show proof of income, which is the W2. If income and assets were used, you will need both the W2 and proof of assets. Additionally letters from employers and pay stubs also support the current income requirements of sponsors.

If I sent copy of turbo tax refunds and 6 months of paystubs do you thin that would be enough?

Hey Topoftherock2013

The main thing is at least your file has been accepted. Fingers crossed that whoever picks up your file doesn't pay too much notice to marriage certificate copy. As for the tax stuff what did you send?

I expect a rfe too. I did send a original of marriage certificate but like you the tax thing might be a problem. We didn't have the IRS version of the tax transcript so we sent 1040EZ for 2011'2012,2013 and all the w2 for the 3 years as well as 5 copies of recent pay stubs. I did call the IRS to order the tax transcript incase the rfe comes . Hope to get those in the mail this coming week.

Hello i have a question DID u receive a RFE? cause of your taxes? I only sent my husbands copies of what we file on turbo tax.. and 6 months of pay stubs.. do you think that was sufficient? They received my package today, i am really freaking out

I am a January filer as well, but we adjust from VWP which is why I started a thread over at the other forum. That one is pretty much empty though, so I am considering moving here, if you guys don't care!?

Hey i am from CA too, but I just mailed my application, Good Luck on your interview

That's right, they sent the ENTIRE application packet back to us. It felt good to see they had begun processing our petitions. All the right vertical edge of all the pages were digital print codes. It was pretty cool to see. The only codes we could make out the meaning to were the codes that said "021414" (date) & "16:24" (time). This let us know when they began processing or at least entered our app into the system and generated a receipt # for us. This was only 2 days after it was received by the USCIS on 2/12/14 which means they start processing roughly within 3 business days of receiving the petitions.

And yes you can DM me.

That is a BIG package lol.. Mine was pretty thick too.. So much we have to go thru.. Oh well is totally worth it..

I cant believe the rejected the whole package cause of the signature, Did they send everything back or you had to gather the entire package again?!

do you mind if i send you private messag so we can keep in touch?

Wow it's awesome to see this thread is finally taking off! We have an update as well:

2/11/14: I-130 & I-485 mailed together via FedEx overnight

2/12/14: @ 7:15am, Received & signed for

2/14/14: Our documents were touched

2/21/14: Entire Package Rejected & received in the mail to me

• Rejection Reason: We signed in the wrong place on the I-485 app.
• What's next?: USCIS informed us to simply sign the application in the right place and resubmit the app along with all supporting documents to the specificed address and to include the special notification letter as well so that our application will receive special attention and continue in the process where it was left off. THANK GOD!

2/24/13: Resubmitted the entire package via USPS. 2-day delivery estimated.

If all looks well with your app packet, the check should be cashed within 7 days.

Question for you guys, when did they cash or check after they got the package?

I just mailed my AOS package i chose next day delivery.. Now it waiting game...!!!

Thank you everyone this was very helpful

Hello I am in the process of sending application to adjust my status. I married to an American, we have almost everything... But if am confused about few things, any help would be much appreciated.

1. How many passport pics to I really need to send
2. Does he need to send 3 years of tax returns? We filed 2013 together and he has 2012
3. We have bank account together and filed married joint 2013 would that be proof enough? We are planning on getting car insurance and bills together prior to interview.
4. I no longer have my I-94 I came to US about 14 years ago and lost, but my passport has the immigration stamp with entry, would that be good?
5. If he sends last 6 month of his pay stubs do he still need employment verification?
6. Do we need send pictures of our wedding and with family and friends, or only at interview, I see that a lot of people send photos and letter explaining how they met, first dates and things like that..

Thank you very much!

I am very confused and I want to send application soon,
