Awesome thank you!!

Hey! I’m in my final days of preparing my AOS package. As you all know fees go up April 1st, so i’m working to get everything done before then. And correctly so I don’t get my package sent back and end up paying double fees. I’ve browsed this site, USCIS website, and many other facebook groups looking for lists of all nessesary documents. If you have already submitted your package or if you have good knowledge could you please take the time to look over my lists and let me know if you think I may be missing anything? My Fiancée and her 2 daughters (age 9 and 11) arrived in The USA mid January, we were married in early February and I have been working on AOS since then. So I am submitting I-485, I-765, I-131 individually for each of them, and filling out one I-864 for my wife, and attaching copy’s of that to each of the kids packages. Below I will copy and paste my cover letter so you can easily see each document I’ve added. (Some documents are different for children so I will add both) I-864 1.)

So thank you for anyone who has taken the time to read through the it and double check things for me. I am also posting this in hopes i have managed to collect all the proper documents and others can use it as a guide to make the process easier! Please give me any pointer or suggestions you may have!

Don’t even bother. Put 0 for everything. Less paperwork and less hassle. Their income doesn’t matter only yours.

As long as you have met once in the past 2 years you meet the requirement. Just make sure to submit plenty of evidence to prove your relationship. Plenty of couples have been approved in situations like yours. As long as you don’t have any other possible red flags like large age gap etc you should be ok. Just keep in mind its at the officers discretion so be prepared, and submit all required documentation.

1. You will need to fill out a separate I-134 for each of them if they are both applying for a visa through you. 2. Correct, she has 1 dependent. 3.correct, 0 dependents for you. 4. Yes. I was a bit more detailed putting “provide housing, food, health insurance, and any living expenses” 5. It’s always better to be over prepared than underprepared. If you’re income is well over the minimum requirement you should be good with the tax transcripts and a few months pay stubs though. I took everything to the interview to be safe and let them decide what they actually needed at document submission. I recommend taking 3 years tax transcript from IRS website, 3-6 months pay stubs, and a letter from work stating your salary. If you take W2s probably just the most recent year.

Currently trying to solve the "do i need to fill out I-693, or is my DS-3025 sufficient question. We opted to have all the vaccines administerd at the medical exam to avoid the headache and financial burden of paying for another exam in the US. However, in mexico they didnt have all the vaccines that are required. So for Example on the "Tdap" column for my wife they put "D" (not availible in-country) for the blanket waiver. Is this sufficient? If not, what is the best resolution? Do I have her get the vaccine administerd from a doctor here, then pay a CS to validate it? And my second question would be could I submit my AOS package anyways and deal with it later if I get an RFE? Reason being is that It would take a week or more just to get an appointmet and I am running out of time. The reason for my concern is becuase I am in a time crunch to get everthing submitted before April 1 to avoid fee increases. I have my wife and her 2 daughters so it would be a huge fee increase for us and I want to avoid that at all cost.
