Sarah G got a reaction from Sassou75 in Married with an ESTA (tourist) visa
I entered the US using ESTA / VWP. I was already married to my husband when I arrived, and just came for a visit while we were waiting for the spousal visa process to move forward. Shortly after I arrived, my husband asked me to stay and after much thought I agreed and we filed for AOS.
As a minimum you're going to need your birth cert, passport, marriage cert, his birth cert or passport, three years of his tax/income records, passport photos, any evidence of previous divorces for either of you, or name changes for either of you, the list goes on and on. It takes a little time to put together but the good news is they want copies of everything, not originals, so you can have family scan docs and email to you and then mail them afterwards.
Others have stated it's best to file before you are out of status but I recognise that will be a tough thing to do. Once I had all my docs together it took me maybe ten hours to put my packet together in a way I was happy with. If there is any way you can get it filed before you are out of status, do it.
Read all the instructions carefully, and post here if you have any questions at all.
It'll take about a week to get your NOA1, after you file. I carry a copy of mine with me at all times since it is the only thing I have that proves I am not in the country illegally.
Very best of luck to you, and congratulations!

Sarah G reacted to pinkitmake in June 2019 AOS Filers
Still waiting for any news. I called for a 3rd time to make a 3rd inquiry. She said that our entire file is still at the NBC (since August ~ we filed in June) and it hasn't been assigned to anyone.... Neither have any of the inquiries. This entire process has been so discouraging ~ all because of one part of my husband's birth certificate...
