Another important thing i found out;
Once your green card arrives, apply for a new SS card to remove the "Valid for work only with DHS Authorization" conditions on it.
What yopu need to do is fill out Form SS-5 with any current/updated details and on question 5, check "Legal Alien Allowed to Work".
Then take this form to your local SS office with your current SS card, your green card and your passport.

I just received notice that my conditionalGreen card was approved, yay!
Now my wife and I look forward to thenext 21 months and beyond to see what we need to do between now and the nextfew steps and should we be collecting for your continuing journey?
I started to write this down and thought I should share it with my fellow VJ members
Removal of conditions (I-751)
What should you collect from now till you file?

A deed, showing co-ownership of your property or a lease agreement withboth of your names on the lease. Utility bills, credit card bills, and other types of bills which haveboth of your names on them. Since many utilities will only put a bill in oneperson's name, some bills in one name and other bills at the same address butin the other spouse's name serve the same purpose: showing your financial &social lives intermingled. Copies of actual credit cards, health insurance cards, or other"joint" cards that you have together, showing same account number. Car, health, or life insurance that has both of your names on the policyor the other spouse listed as the beneficiary. 401K or other retirement plan with spouse listed as beneficiary (rightto survivorship is the technical term) Bank or stock accounts with both of your names on them. A copy of your joint tax returns. Tax transcripts from the IRS are stillthe preferred method. A car title or other titles to property showing joint ownership withyour spouse.

ok my turn at a help guide
k1,now AOS,now what?

Same, I'm starting to think they have misfiled a few of ours as there seems a group of us that have been skipped over ><

1) yes, $1010 is correct
2) you need to send 2 photo's for each form you submit, AOS (I-485), AP(I-131) and EAD (I-766) which are normally submitted together they require 2 photo's each, so attach 2 photo's to each document giving you a total of 6 photo's for the 3 documents.

I know in Australia it takes 2 weeks.
