That makes perfect sense... Yea. Ok I'm officially ditching the 3 binder course of action. Lol. Thanks guys and I REALLY appreciate it. This site helped the K-1 visa process which was semi difficult but successful, and now it's alrady paying off for the AOS process. Thank you all so very much and stay tuned... Bet money I have more questions

Lainie... That's the best news I've heard all freakin' day! I was panicking for real like dang, ain't no way we can get back to okinawa to fix this medical BS.

And again about the 3 separate binders... It was more of a clear and concise way of presenting the material really. I wanted each application and supporting documents to have their own binder so there would be no confusion to anyone what a certain piece of evidence or document was for. But ten I got confused, and was being cheap, and started wondering if I separated all 3 like that then it might look suspect as to where the filing fee was for the EAD and AP. Lol. Perhaps I'm chasing the rabbit down the hole... I dunno. Presentation always means a lot to me. But like you had said made little bit of sense in that, consider the person that's revceiving the package. Although, if how I'm mailing it is the biggest of my concerns, then I'm pretty confident I'll get it sorted out just fine.

Fingers crossed...

Any recommendations as to mailing it to the express address or the normal one given?

Lainie it's not that I have so much to send, I just wanted it all clear and concise. So I was going to separate each one. Just cuz, but no it's not that much stuff.

Also I feel I'm running into ANOTHER problem. I'm looking at ALLLLL the medical paperwork that was done prior to the K-1 visa being issued. Even the 6 pages of junk that was in a sealed envelope. There's a ton of medical stuff, however, NOT A SINGLE FORM is titled I-693. I'm freaking out now because I have every single thing needed, have the money, forms all organized and signed like literally EVERYTHING, even a 8 page medical thing given to us by the doctors that we were told we had to go to by the embassy. I mean, it's legit, that's how we got the visa in the first place. All forms are in English etc... But again, none of them at all are I-693...

They are all DS forms .. Like DS 3030, DS 3025, DS 3026 etc...

Have NO idea what to do now

Lainie,

Thank you for that tip. So I will for sure separate all 3 with their necessary documents for each. But are you saying clipping them together is fine? I was going to get 3 1" 3 ring binders and place each (AOS, EAD, AP) in their own binders. Will this cause confusion? Is it better to just clip each group together and stick the loose leaves in a envelope and mail it with the check? I just want to make sure I can knock this out one shot one kill, as I did with the K-1 (I-129F) packet. But again, all that from the previous went into the same binder as it was just the single purpose.

Furthermore, I am curious about the Advanced Parole. I was asked about a specific date on the form? I thought it is just something to have on hand. My husband is in the military and if he deploys, I would like to return home for the duration of that deployment. However, its hard to know this far in advance, when he might deploy. Also, for how long. Any advice on that?

Sorry for such question about the packet and its presentation, as I know they are more of cosmetic questions than hard fact info type questions. But again, I want it to be presented and received correctly. Maybe I can put them all in document protectors, clip them together as you had suggested, and then slide them into the envelope. Skipping the 3 ring binders for such a large submission.

Hello All,

I am posting here as I seriously could use some guidance on filing the Adjustment of Status paperwork containing the AOS, EAD, AP.. etc. You know, THAT whole thing. I understand the basics, I.E. How to fill out the forms, where to send it, the cost of the packet when filing all three together etc.,... thanks to these wonderful forums, I've even found some very thorough examples of cover sheets and suggested "ordering" of the documents when I submit them. So here is what I just simply do not know: How many packets to I send? When doing the K-1 nonimmigrant Fiancée Visa, there were several documents required, but in a very specific order, with a cover sheet and table of contents, they were all placed neatly in document protectors and all placed inside a single 1" 3 ring binder. From post office to Visa in hand, took about 4 weeks, maybe 5. But now that was ALL for a like purpose, and all to the same person. It was the I-129F Petition. So what I am specifically asking is, and I hope someone can have some insight on this, seeing as I am submitting a AOS, EAD and AP... should I place them in 3 different packets and treat them (organizing wise) as 3 different petitions (although I am mailing them and filing them concurrently to avoid lengthy processes and unnecessary fees.) So I know it might be silly but ANYONE with experience I would love to hear from. Do I make 3 packets (AOS, EAD, AP) and mail them all together, or make 1 big packet and just of course label everything in the table of contents and cover letter? Thank you for your time and help.
