Our package arrived on Tuesday the 13th (I-485 and I-765). Text messages were sent out last night just before 9 p.m. Our receipt numbers begin with IOE also. No email but hoping to see the paper copy of the I-797 arrive early next week.

We sent off our I-485 package on July 10, it was received on July 12, check was cashed July 14, and SMS notifications of receipt were received on July 15.

Thank you everyone in this group to help and support me.
We sent out our package today (07/12/2021) to Chicago address via USPS. The receipt reads, "Priority Mail 2-Day 1" and it also says Expected Delivery Date- Thu 07/15/2021. 
Hope I did everything the right way.🙃
Good luck to everyone with AOS process in this group!! 👍👍

IT SHOULD BE NO

I think the answers should be YES, adjusting from k1 is family based category. I might be wrong though 

Hey everyone! So my husband and I filed originally back in early May and then realized right after the package was received at USCIS that we had two out of date forms (I-485 and I-765).  We were also missing his long form birth certificate from Canada at the time so it was kind of a blessing when the package was returned.
 
We re-gathered all our evidence and mailed everything in on June 25th (with the bright green returned package page on the top) and got the texts confirming everything received on July 8th, with the filing fees showing up on my credit card the same day. 
 
Excited for everything to be moving forward finally!

I think if its Marriage based AOS application, then you dont need to provide any supplemental doc. I did not sent it either. Im adjusting from B2.
but lets see what others say.

Correct. It should be No

I love your energy !!! 
happy to be here on this group, I arrived the US on K-1 visa and finally got our marriage certificate today after 3 weeks actually.( CA state ) 
I did a lot of reading and research beforehand to understand the AOS and EAD process and it’s actually a bit confusing. 
Will start filling our forms today and send it out soon! 
Got a lot of tips and helpful hints from this group intro by @Sarge2155
Good luck  to everyone 👍🏼👍🏼

Woohoo.. Finally..July 2021 - AOS filers thread!
 
I've just sent out my AOS and combo cards applications by USPS and payment by USPS money order on 07/02. Let's rock this waiting game! Wish you all best of luck for all the AOS filers. ❤❤
 
Btw, Happy 4th of July everybody!! (In 30 mins)

Hi!
Odd. You have 76 days to apply for SSN after entering on k-1. Thus, it’s 14 days and not 30.
you might want to try again.
 

Yes, you may apply for SSN up to day 76 of your US entry.
 
Best to apply before getting married.  Other VJ members reported having issues when applying for SSN after the wedding, due to discrepancies with their personal information (name, marital status) in DHS records.  But if you've already married, try to apply anyway.
 

Ah.  K1 visa holders are actually eligible to apply for EAD without AOS.  That would be EAD under category (a)(6), which, frankly, is utterly pointless.  Filing would not be free and processing would not necessarily be faster.  If you somehow get the EAD quickly, it would only be valid while your I-94 is valid, ie. up to 90 days after US entry.  So just apply for EAD based on AOS, which is category (c)(9).
 

Go ahead and apply for a Social Security Number. Doing so now will make your AOS life a lot easier.  

Thanks a lot !!! 
you made it more clear to me than in the instructions I just read now 😃😃😃
Good luck 👍🏽  with your process!! 

Today was my interview and we got the K-1 visa approved. 
It took about almost 4 hours all together at the US embassy in Abu Dhabi but in the end it was worth it! 
It was a lady who interviewed me, and she was so polite and kind. To my knowledge it was super easy and she didn’t even ask for any additional supporting documents for our relationship even though I had a pile of files with me. It was just a few basic generic questions like how we met ? , How many times we met in person ? What are wedding plans ? That’s it,, 
Then she handed me a white pamphlet that stated about the rights in the USA ( which is a sign that you’re Approved) , then after 3 min she congratulated me and said, you’re qualified for the K-1 visa and I’ll be receiving my passport in 3/4 days time via post. 
It was a super exciting day!!!

Hello everyone, finally some good news. I got my K-1 Visa interview scheduled for the April 19.
Does anyone know once the K-1 visa is issued what is the validity?
is it three or six months time before you could travel to the USA
Thanks

I had an interview on March 15. There is no visa yet. I've got form g 221. The USCIS did not send ( or lost ) my fiance's divorce decree to the embassy. He has to apply and get another original one. Also, they wanted another document which was not in the requirements list. But the good news is:  the case officer told me once I send them back , my visa will be issued in 5 working days. 
 
 

This is a bit heartbreaking, we received our case number 2 days ago. Best of luck to you in your journey. We will be following you and looking forward to hear positive updates from you and Abu Dhabi embassy.
