jin01 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I am doing the AOS by myself, vs paying the professional like I did for my K-1. The very fist step is to get Marriage License right? Do I need photos for that? Thanks! Link to comment
N&J Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 not for your marriage license. check with you marriage license bureau what you will need to get a marriage license. visit VJ to see what you will need to file AOS good luck Link to comment

ChrisA Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 For the AOS interview, print the I-485 and look at the questions page, this for the most part all the questions that will be asked at the interview. Other things documents that will be asked for that you and her have joint bank accounts etc. Link to comment

Thanks!https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=of...office_type=CIV Call around for a price, you may need to visit office with form I-693 and I-485 instructions in hand with paragraphs highlighted indicating that K-Visa holders ONLY need vaccinations part done, NOT a full medical, that was done in China for the visa.

jin01 Posted November 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 The i-693 asks for A-Number and SSN. The A-Number should be the same as the one on NOA2 right? My wife doesn't have the SSN yet (applied but haven't received). Should we wait for the SSN? Thanks. Link to comment
Randy W Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 The i-693 asks for A-Number and SSN. The A-Number should be the same as the one on NOA2 right? My wife doesn't have the SSN yet (applied but haven't received). Should we wait for the SSN? Thanks. Make SURE that you always use the A # from the NOA2 - we have seen people end up with two different case files for their two different A #'s - it ain't pretty. The SS # is not required for AOS filing - fill in if available. Link to comment

My wife doesn't have the SSN yet (applied but haven't received). Should we wait for the SSN? Thanks.A# used on I-485, G-325A, I-693, etc will be found on I-129F Approval notice that you need to send a copy of with your I-485. http://www.visajourney.com/gallery/albums/Immigration/I-129F-NOAs/NOA2.jpg And as Randy said, SSN is not needed to file I-485, provide it if you have one before filing I-485.
