It's in .pdf form you'll have to download it to your pc then print!

Good answer!

Very good and welcome to the thread!

Yes you get notified when it's transferred, but that's something you should not have asked for. They transfer them as they need to!

That's fairly routine in fact it's a good sign, did you submit your N400 recently? They usually transfer your case when you file a N400 when you have an active I-751. If you do not have an active N400 case they transfer cases all the time. Hopefully it went to a faster field office. Looking at your timeline you do have a N400 active. This is good news I suspect they are getting ready to adjudicate your N400. Same happend to us.

Very good let's hope it goes quickly! Oh and welcome to the thread!

Good deal learned something new. Thanks!

Well I just learned something then. Didn't know you could do that. It's a good deal then!

This is correct only one answer is sufficient, provided it's a right answer!

For certain forms N400 and I130 those are the only ones I know about, but I'm sure there are others, just not the AOS or ROC.

Yes you can as long as your window is open and you qualify.

An agency or pay for expedited service but I think that's taking 6 to 8 weeks for an expedite, you'll have to check that out!

Make your passport application appointment now USPS is booked up 4 to 8 weeks out. If you are in no hurry.

I do not think you can upload additional info for the AOS since it is not filed online that's only with the N400 you can do that. You have to mail any additional items in. At this point USCIS knows you have limited marital documents. You'd be better off just waiting and deal with the RFE when and if you get one.

Congratulations!

Welcome to the thread, you'll be getting something soon!

Don't swaet the small stuff USCIS is not gonna deny you over no utility bills (joint), your other stated items are more than suffcient. You did not mention taxes.

Hello May 2023 AOS filers another month another round of AOS submissions, Please be aware that this checklist is NOT all inclusive and you must consult the USCIS website to crosscheck this checklist against/with. The AOS process has been confusing since the pandemic hit, not to mention the added politics. So please I want to stress that you only use this check sheet as a starting point and guide if you will. The USCIS site will be the final guide. Please ensure that you check your forms for the correct versions and editions because if you use the wrong forms USCIS will reject your application and send it back to you. This is easily checked on the USCIS website prior to downloading your forms. You should also ONLY download your forms from the USCIS website. The current and correct fees can also be ascertained from the USCIS website . Just a side note before we get started USCIS may decouple Forms I-765 and Form I-131 if filed jointly with Form I-485. Here is the quoted text taken directly from the USCIS website. "To improve efficiency and reduce Form I-765 processing times for Form I-485 applicants, USCIS may decouple Forms I-765 from Forms I-131 filed at the same time. Effective Feb. 1, 2022, when possible, we will adjudicate an applicant's Form I-765 first. If we approve it, we will issue an Employment Authorization Document without any notation about advanced parole. We will adjudicate the Form I-131 separately and if we approve it, we will issue an advance parole document". I know this is old news, but I thought it would be good to include it here for your knowledge. What this means is some people elect to include three (3) copies of their marriage license / certificates one attached to each form (I-485, I-765 and I-131 respectively). I do not know of anyone receiving an RFE for a marriage license/certificate missing on the I-765 or the I-131 since USCIS has started doing this new way of adjudicating the AOS (the marriage license / certificate with form I-485 is required though). This is an age old concern that has been in play before this new way USCIS started adjudicating these forms. Some filers including me when I filed the AOS back in 2019 sent in three (3) copies of their marriage licenses / certificates. I did it then because of peace of mind and there were some RFEs given out for missing licenses / certificates (back then). USCIS also used to issue Combo Cards, Employment Authorization Document and Advance Parole (EAD and AP combined in the same card). I've seen now where they have issued an EAD without the AP. Whether you include three (3) copies of your marriage license / certificate is going to be your individual call when you file your AOS. Having said that let's get into the checklist: AOS Checklist Cover Letter listing Table of Contents Check Payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security - $1,225.00 (this includes the Bio-metrics fee, also be aware that fees are supposed to increase in the near future so please double check before you send your packet off!) Form I-485 (completed and signed by non-US Citizen/beneficiary) Form G-1145 Copy of beneficiary's Passport with biographical page Copy of beneficiary's K1 Visa from Passport and entry stamp Copy of NOA2 Approval letter (from K1 process) I-94 Copy of beneficiary's Birth Certificate translation of birth certificate (if needed) Certified copy of Marriage License or Certificate Passport Photos (2) name written on the back Copy of DS-3025 Form I-864 (completed and signed by USC) (goes with form I-485) Proof of USC's citizenship (copy of birth certificate, copy of passport bio page, or other) Current tax year 2022 and (optional 2021 , 2020) Tax Return (with W-2) or Transcripts (transcripts are better if you can get them) Employment Verification letter (updated one - not the one used during K1 process) Pay stubs (last 3 months) Form I-765 (completed and signed by non-US Citizen/beneficiary) Copy of beneficiary's Passport with biographical page Copy of beneficiary's K1 Visa from Passport and entry stamp I-94 Passport Photos (2) name written on the back Copy of NOA2 (from K1 process) Be sure to use the correct filing code of (c)(9) if this code applies to you. The I-765 instructions explains all the codes in detail. If you are filing under a different code (other than (c)(9) the fee for your AOS will not be correct and USCIS will reject your entire packet. Form I-131 (completed and signed by non-US Citizen/beneficiary) Copy of beneficiary's Passport with biographical page Copy of beneficiary's K1 Visa from Passport and entry stamp I-94 Passport Photos (2) name written on the back Copy of NOA2 (from K1 process Be sure to double check for the current fees as fees do sometimes increase and they can change on a dime so please check. Additionally, check the forms as listed above i.e., current version and or edition date, there have been many changes to various forms. 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. Make sure you send long form birth certificates and not the short form. Hope this helps in your preparation of your AOS. When in doubt ask questions. Please consider filing the I-131 and the I-765 even if you don't think you'll need them right now. You never know what changes your life will have on down the road, so I recommend you file these two forms from the start. There is no extra charge to file them with your AOS and it's better to submit them all at once. There has been much confusion coming out of USCIS, partly due to Covid-19 and partly self-inflicted. This confusion filters on down to the people filing for AOS. The above listing is subject to change at a moment’s notice so please check, recheck and check again BEFORE you send off your packet for any last-minute changes. Congratulations on a successful submission of your AOS packet!

Everyone is on a roll January was very kind to us!

Yeah it's a stones throw away....congrats!

You are on the ball, nice job so far, keep it up and you'll be fine!

You are rolling now!

You are probably right!

Hummm I'm not gonna wait the 10 days then. We'll try our luck on the 1st of May! Driver license you only update if there was a name change.

@mam521 I would hit the social security office first since all you have to do is show them your certificate, but if you do passport first you'll have to send in your certificate and it will be tied up at the State Department until your passport is issued. Wait the 10 days then go to the SS office then do your passport. Just a suggestion! Ahh I see from a prior post that you are in a rush so I guess that's why you are doing the passport first. Hope it works out and you get your passport on time.
