Your overall AOS fee is $1070.

If you send I-765, I-131 at a later date, you have to attach the I-485 NOA1 as proof of pending AOS.

https://www.uscis.gov/i-765 Instruction:

NOTE: If you filed Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, as of July 30, 2007, and you paid the Form I-485 filing fee, no fee is required to also file a request for employment authorization on Form I-765.

You may file the Form I-765 with your Form I-485, or you may submit the Form I-765 at a later date.

If you file Form I-765 separately, you must also submit a copy of your Form I-797C, Notice of Action, receipt as evidence of the filing of Form I-485 as of July 30, 2007

THANK YOU MERRYTOOTH. YOU ARE AN ANGEL!

Yes, you can file I-765 & I-131 at a later date, attached with a copy of I-485 NOA1 so that the filing fees are waived.

You can read through these form examples here to help you filling up the forms.

Personally, I will send all the forms in one package to avoid the hassle.

Take your time to read through the forms instructions. It is ok to be a few days late sending the AOS package, over your I-94 expiration date (Overstay is forgiven for spouse of USC).

Although you may not in a rush to work, you might want to have EAD to apply for driver license/state ID as well.

Hi Merrytooth,

I am really embarrassed now that I kept bothering you with questions but I'm really confused! I'm almost done gathering all the supporting document. I read your response above and wondering about your first sentence [ Yes, you can file I-765 & I-131 at a later date, attached with a copy of I-485 NOA1 so that the filing fees are waived] Do we have to pay separate fees for filing I-765 and I-131? Because the checklist only mentioned a check payable to USCIS of only $1,070.

Thank you once again for your help! <3

Are you applying for SSN?

You should tick the box: "Legal Alien Allowed To Work."

You should be aware that many SSA offices will not allow you to apply for a SSN if your I-94 is about to expire (generally 14 days prior to the expiration on your I-94).

Then you would have to wait to apply for SSN once you have EAD card.

File the I-765 & I-131 (Advance Parole) currently with I-485.

Hi Merrytooth,

I apologize in advance. I'm so stressed out. Can I just file I-765 & I-131 later as I'm not in a rush to work as yet and focus on filing I-485 first until it is done?

My I-94 is about to expire. So I shall wait for the EAD card to apply.

Thank you so much for your help! Greatly appreciate.

You only need to submit a copy of your marriage certificate.

As for financial co-mingled stuff, you don't have to send them in at AOS stage, since you are adjusting status from K-1 visa.

Here is an example of AOS checklist:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/544755-k1-aos-checklist-did-i-miss-anything/

Meanwhile, you can start a folder/box to collect documents of financial co-mingled for removal of conditions, which requires you to show bona fide marriage evidence spanning the whole 2 years.

By the end of the 2 years (90 days preceding the expiration date on your 2 year permanent residence card), you will be ready to file ROC I-751, with necessary documents.

Hi Merrytooth,

One more thing I need to check with you regarding SSN. What should I tick on the question they ask about whether I'm allowed to work or otherwise. I have not submitted my I-765 (Employment Authorization) yet.

Thank you.

You mean that you entered US on K1 visa in August and there is no I-94 record online?

Do you have the entry stamp on your passport?

Hi Merrytooth,

I got my I-94 record updated on CBP website. I still have a few questions to ask you and appreciate you help on this. For submission of the I-485, what other evidence of record did you submit besides the legal document. I read some submit witness confirmation that you are actually married, bank statement of joint account. Is this necessary?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Cheers!

K1 visa example:

You will need a copy of I-94 for AOS I-485, so go to the CBP to resolve the missing record first:

Read this guide for AOS.

http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1k3aos

The filing fees increase on Dec 23rd, 2016.

So you will want to file the application before that.

Hi Merrytooh,

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Noted on the Visa Number location. I will submit before my 90 days expires which is Nov 8. I just hope that CBP will not take long to send me record of my I-94.

You're the best!

Hi Merrytooth,

Yes, I have an entry stamp on my passport. Sorry to trouble you with this issue. I also need to confirm about the Visa Number. Is it the Control number which located at the top right corner or the ones at the bottom near the fiance detail (bottom left, with the initial letter L)?

And I thought we don't have to pay any fees! Sigh!

Hi Merrytooth,

Thank you for the link. I have checked and they do not have my latest arrival date which is this year in August. So how should I go about with it. Do I need to apply or something?

Hi Everyone,

Can someone help regarding I-94 #. Where can I find this number or do I need to submit any application for me to have them. I'm doing my AOS now.

Thank you in advance for the assistance.

Have a nice day

Hi Everyone,

I'm almost done with my packing. Leaving on Aug 10.

Just wondering what is it like at POE. What actually happen when you hand over the sealed envelope? Anyone care to share your experience?

Thank you in advance.

Cheers!

Thank you to everyone who have given so much assistance and guidance. It really made a lot of difference with all those pointers.

Cheers!

Hello Everyone,

I just realised that I have to schedule appointment online or is it not? I have wasted 2 weeks of the time if I need to. Sigh! And I tried to create/register online for a new user in order to schedule for appointment and I cannot do it as there's system error. Can someone help me with this. I'm so frustrated now. Is there a number I could call for support?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello,

Can someone tell me how long does it takes for the interview to be called after I have submitted the acknowledgement letter to the emabassy. Is there a way for me to check online on the status?

Thank you.

Hello Everyone,

I need to do the DS-160 online and wondering what document I should have in hand before I start answering the questions. And also regarding the payment, I saw a couple of applicant made their payment at Standard Chartered Bank. Must it be at StandChart? Can we do it via other means. I intend to do this tomorrow. Also, for those who have successfully did the DS-160, can anyone assist in the steps. It definitely helps a lot.

Thank you in advance.

Cheers!

Hi Everyone,

My fiance have 2 jobs. How do I fill in the I-134 form. Do I combine the income or do separately as an additional?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I have a question regarding evidence of support. Do I have to fill in the I-134 or is it just for my fiance to do it?

Thank you in advance.

It shouldn't be a problem so long as you have the paper sent to you to request for COC. But as for medical check up, do you mean the innoculations or the one by Horne & Chin?

Hi Veepaisal,

I called Horne & Chin regarding the cost of the vaccination, and they said it will be about 200 to 300 for the vaccination Plus another $200 for the medical check up. I already got a reply from TTSH about the vaccination cost. Depending on the age, I don't have to do all the vaccination as what Horne & Chin have mentioned.

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Cheers

There's just 1 travel clinic in TTSH (or any of the said hospitals) Hun I wish I could tell you how much but it's been slightly over a year, it's best you call & check with them on the prices but it's cheaper than Horne&Chin for sure & if I recall right it's cheaper than SGH. Poly clinics do have SOME of the vaccinations required but why go through the trouble of going to different places for all of them. My vaccinations were done in a day (some needed more than 1 dose).

Here's a list of clinics:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/456515-vaccinations-in-singapore/

Yes it is acceptable because you'll give the vaccination booklet to Horne&Chin so that they could fill up DS-3025 for you (& give you a copy of it)

HTH! Good luck

Hi Veepaisal,

Thank you for your prompt reply. One more question, is it ok for me to do the COC and medical check up before I do the DS-160 because I have a free day tomorrow and I can do all this on the same day.

It's a waiting game to receive NOA2 & NOA3. In the meantime I would recommend getting all the necessary required shots done at a travel clinic (browse the entire thread to know where to go - I personally went to TTSH) to save $ (the appointed Drs Horne&Chin is expensive). If you do go for the shots at a travel clinic, you'll be given a yellow vaccinations booklet. Provide that to the appointed clinic. In addition to the required vaccines preparation, you'll also need to prepare for submitting documents to the embassy. Kitthekat has extensive information in the first few pages of her application. It was very helpful for me.

Other than that, good luck and hope you'll recv noa2&3 soon!

HI Veepaisal,

I read about you going to TTSH to get your vaccination. How much does it cost to get all the shots done. Is there a specific clinic "travel clinic" at TTSH. Will the embassy accept such endorsement?

I just got my NOA3 and in the process to get all the document, COC and medical done.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Everyone!

I got my letter from the Embassy here in Spore - Instruction of the final document / preparation. My question is, can I go for my medical check up and COC before I fill in the DS-160 form?

Another question is what is the minimum salary to meet the 125% salary percentile?

Thank you in advance people. Have a nice day.

Cheers

Hi,

I have a question with regards to I-134 specifically when they ask about whether my Fiance intend to support me and if yes for how long? What should my fiance write? He will support me for as long as we are married. Or is there any other logic answer? Feeling confused... again!

Any advise is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
