Thanks for your answer Mom @Sm1smom I have another question. We were putting the documents together for our interview and my husband could not find his "IRS certified tax returns print-out". Although, he has the copies of his tax return forms that he filled for each year along with w-2s. He thinks that he has included the certified tax return print-outs in AOS package but he's not 100% sure. Are the tax return forms going to be enough or does he need to have IRS certified tax return print-outs?
We're very worried that this might cause a delay in the process
Hi Mom,
My salary well above the minimum poverty guideline, and no dependents. I have my employement letter too. Should I still get an I-134 filled out?
Thanks
HI Mom,
Thanks, there is little space to type all three, is it okay if i type the recent one and write the remaining with a pen after I print out? What do you suggest? ALso, when I applied for opt extension the i-765 form was slightly different. They have a new version now. So send the latest new version of the form right? Thanks
Sm1smom, i think this is my last question about my DS260, while I am a student with F1 visa nad I have social security number, for question "do you need a new card issued?" I should say yes or no?
in the passport section in DS260, i should put my previous passport number or my new passport number? my I94 is based on my expired passport, and after that I got another passport from my country. now I do not know I should put the expired pasport number that my I94 is based on the, or my new passport number, could you please answer this question as well? thanks alot
Thanks!I certainly can't tell you the I-134 is a must document. It's basically a back up financial document. With income well above the required minimum poverty guideline level, the IO may be satisfied with the employment paper, or may still request for an affidavit of support. Part of what they consider is whether the job is an ongoing one or not, whether it's simply an OPT job with no guarantee of it being continued, how long one has had the job for, how well above the poverty level that income is, e.t.c. It's a personal call you'll gave to make.

Hi Mom, how much time does it takes for KCC to sent case to FO?
It's been almost 5 weeks after our interview and our file wasn't still sent to FO(but was requested 2-3 weeks ago), any ways to push it?
Great! Thank you so much, you rockThe employment verification letter is just a basic letter on the company's letter head confirming you're their employee, your start date, job position and current annual income. Below is a link to a sample/template your employer can use:

Hi Mom, I am a new member here, I am happy that I can finally find a well developed Forum that I can find all the information about AOS. However, I think my wife and I have the rarest and the most complicate case here because of the following items:
My wife won the lottery 2015 when we were in Iran (my home country). We filled out the form (DS-260) in Iran and I applied for CP. Before wining the lottery and fill out the forms I applied for one of the universities in the US. But I was not sure that I can get admission to that university. that's why I chose to be interviewed in Turkey, Ankara (we don't have US embassy in our country). After filling DS-260 form and submitting it I got admission from one of the universities and now I am in the US with F1 and my wife F2 Visa. I asked KCC for unlocking DS-260 but I cannot change the location of interview. I just could change my current address which was somewhere in the US. My wife's case number is 78xx ad I think we will be current within 10 days.
Base of the above information what should I do now? I didn't receive 2nd NL from KCC. I emailed them. But they said you should wait until you become current. Before that I explain my situation to them and they send me the following email:
If you are in the United States, you may be eligible to apply to the Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) for adjustment of status. The option to adjust status may no longer be available to all applicants. To determine whether you are eligible to adjust your status you must contact the USCIS website uscis.gov to obtain instructions on how to make an appointment with your local USCIS office by using INFO Pass. When contacting your local CIS office they may inform you that you will not be eligible to file your adjustment until your case number is current and available for processing. Please refer to the visa bulletin at travel.state.gov to view the current case numbers being processed. This bulletin is updated after the 15th day of each month. If the CIS determines that you are eligible to adjust status you will be required to pay a non-refundable diversity-processing fee of $330.00 per person directly to the Department of State. This fee is assessed to cover cost incurred by the Department of State in running the lottery selection process and is separate from any fees you will need to pay the CIS as part of your adjustment application. Failure to pay this fee may result in the loss of your diversity visa. If you are not approved for your visa or are not granted an interview, this fee cannot be refunded to you under any circumstances. Please mail a money order for the diversity-processing fees to the address given below.
I know that it is very complicate but I am very stressed because of this situation. I appreciate if you can help me and tell me what should I do now to increase my chance to get Green Card.
Thank you in advance.
Hi Mom,
I am feeling lucky to have you helping us to get through the AOS process.
I got selected for DV2015. My number is 2015AF54xxx. I am praying it will be current by September.
I am currently here in USA ,me and my husband as F1 visa. I completed my Master on May 2015 and applied for OPT. I am still waiting for USCIS reply. My Husband is still studying. We got married May 2014, and by the time we got a son born on February 2015. My questions are:
1. For education, the master degree from my University will be sufficient or should I show my home country diploma and high school degree.
2. Is it the same for my husband?
3. For the baby, we got help from MassHealth insurance and we are receiving help from WIC because we don't have income. Will that influence our process for the AOS.
4.We don't have income now to prove, we borrow money from friends. I am waiting for my OPT to start a job. Will it be sufficient for the financial support. If I have to show some money in my account would it help? and how much deposit should I put?
5. For the birth certificate, I have one dated on June 2014 with translation. Is it true that we should have one for less that 3 months? I should ask my family to send me a new one from my country.
Thank you MOM
