Hey everyone, we went through our final packet check today, and realized that all the docs we got from the USCIS website have a 7/31/2018 expiration date at the top right.... We double checked the site, and they all still have that expiration date. Anyone else have this problem? The 130 and 130a are both past expiration on the official website. 

Real quick since you mentioned: She was given an SSN a couple years ago when she was here as an opair, but we've assumed so far that it is no longer valid, so we have left it off of forms... Are we correct in doing so do you think?

  Not really the right thread, but to answer your questions:

   

  It's expected that you just got married and haven't gotten much of "joint life" together.  They're looking for proof that you have known each other and have been dating--flights together/to see each other, trips together, some communication history, pictures together (especially with family/friends), affidavits won't hurt but are more "filler" than anything, if you don't have much overall.

   

  How did your girlfriend get into US?  Is she here legally?  Just wondering re: SSN.

   

  Adding her to your car insurance will definitely help, so will putting her on the utility bills.  I'd start "commingling" right away, it will make the interview that much easier to have long-term evidence than stuff you've assembled a month before.

   

  Here's a recent thread off the top of my head with some other suggestions:

   

   

  Yes, she came here legally on an ESTA. We've been seeing each other for years, visiting each other back and forth multiple times. We didn't have any plans of getting married but the back and forth for only a couple weeks a year for years was getting really tough. Thanks for the advice & I apologize for posting to the wrong thread. I kind of noticed that for whatever reason, this June AOS thread seems a lot more active and helpful than some of the others. 

I got married a couple weeks ago to my girlfriend who is a non-citizen. We're planning on sending in the AOS packet in the next month, but the only thing I'm really worried about is evidence of a bona fide marriage. Affidavits are easy - but things like a joint bank account seems a little difficult. My bank doesn't allow anyone to become part of my account if they don't have a social security number. Would adding her to my car insurance be of help? Have her put the gas bill in her name? We JUST got married and now we have to comingle all this stuff right away?

Did this rule ever end up taking affect, or become law?

To give more info, this would be for AOS during visa waiver program due to getting married in the U.S.. Is there a comprehensive guide somewhere?

The I-130 costs 575 dollars and I-485 costs 1225 (including biometric fees).

So the total cost is 1800 dollars.

What about the other forms mentioned in this thread (( i-130, 130a, 485, 693, 765, and 864))? How am I supposed to know which ones need to be filled out?

Is there any difference in terms of process or difficulty in getting AOS approved from VWP vs. B-2 Visa?

What is the total cost of all these forms?
