I know precisely what an ITIN is. You asked if you should include your ITIN Documents with your AOS package, and I asked you to be specific as to which particular ITIN document you’re asking about?

Worth a shot.
I am sorry for the confusion.
The ITIN document I mentioned is the paper printed only the ITIN number assigned from IRS.
Thank you!

Hey so the visa bulletin shows that my number becomes available in November but I want to do my interview in January/February. I've read the spreadsheet provided with the information needed to be sent and everything I need to put together, and wanted to know if I can just delay sending my AOS package to get a later interview date? I also want to know when is best to send my package to accomplish this (the beginning of January, mid January etc.?)
Just a couple fill in the blanks. I just paid my DV fee recently and I'm waiting for the receipt back (I know that can take a while), and I'm also going to do my medical in November so I should have the results before the year end. I want to delay my status change because I'm an international student and I need one more semester for my scholarship as an F-1 student.

For AOS, you don’t have the luxury of determining when your interview gets scheduled. Unlike CP, AOS interview doesn’t typically get scheduled for the month the CN becomes current. It could be one or several months after the CN becomes current. There’s a lot of factors at play here: your background check completion, your applicable FO’s workload, possibly your chargeability country, etc.
I suggest you take a look at the Timeline spreadsheets from 2011 to 2018 to get an idea of average processing time in general and for your applicable FO in particular.

You need the IRS tax transcripts which needs to be requested from the IRS website (or by phone if you know the IRS phone number).
Hi mom,
I'm new here. I win the 2019 lottery. I see here has a lot of helpful information for my AOS.
I have a question about the Evidence of Education or Work Experience. For Education, it requires A high school diploma.
But I only have university diploma right now, the high school diploma needs time to apply for.
In this situation, could I submit university diploma as Evidence for I-485? Or USCIS only accepts high school diploma?
Thank you for your help.

Hey,
I'm new here too. I read the posts and also the spreadsheet. Thank you very much to everyone for their help.
Yet I have a question. I'm currently doing AOS and I paid the DV fees back in June. However, I think I forgot the self-stamped envelop. As a result, I received the receipt by email. I tried to contact KCC to know if I still could have the original back, but it's not possible. Do you think that, that would be a problem while the interview (since we are supposed to have all the originals)? What do you think I should do?
Thank you very much in adavance for your answer and your time,
Best,

Yes you can submit the package with your university diploma, just be aware of the fact that some IOs have been reported to have requested to see the HS Diploma in the past in similar situation such as yours.

You’ll be fine with the emailed version - KCC wouldn’t have kept the paper copy once it got scanned.
Thanks mom, so it could fine or still has chance that I will receive RFE for HS diploma...
I think I should ask my parents to help me to find the HS diploma and scan it to me.
The diploma just need copy version, right?
Best,

You will need to present the original copy if required.
Hi there everyone. And thanks in advance Sm1smom. Your knowledge on this topic is soooo welcome.
I am just about to submit my AOS package as my number is current in November. I just have a couple of issues I am not sure about. If you can help at all hat would be great!
- with the G-1145 e-notification form - Do I need to submit one of these forms for all other forms, or just submit 1 at the beginning, and then this covers notification for EAD, Advanced Parole and I-485?
- Putting together the order of the package is proving confusing. For example, the i-765 and i-485 both require some of the same support documents. Does this mean that i have to print these copies of documents for both forms, or can i simply have all forms at the front of the package, and then all the support marerial at the end? Will, for example 1 copy of my I-94 be sufficient for both the EAD form and I-485?
- also, I don't have tax returns from my time in the US because I never earned above the threshold, is this going to be an issue, do you think?
- Lastly, my I-94 is from 2012, so it is one of those little white cards. Is a photocopy of this card all ai need to show i-94 status?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, i thank you very much.

Following on
-I have 2 more recent i-797 adjustments to O1 visas. The bottom of these forms have little i-94 cards, are these fine to submit as attached to the i-797, or do i have to cut them off? These are actually i-94’s, correct? Or am I mistaken?
- and very lastly, i have not been able to source my very old High School certificate from Australia. I have both my bachelors degree and masters degree diplomas and record of subject results. Is this going to be okay? Or do I have to try and get hold of the high school certificate?
Thanks atain.

1. G-1145 is a one time petition acceptance notification form used in letting you know you your AOS package was accepted by USCIS. It will not provide subsequent status updates on the different petitions you’re filing.
2. Each form should have its own set of required supporting documents.
3. Could be, if you were working and never filed income tax. You may be required to explain why you didn’t file income tax. If your income was insignificant, I hope you plan on getting an affidavit of support as evidence you’re unlikely to become a public charge, and whoever is providing you with the affidavit will of course need to include their IRS tax returns with the form.
4. If that’s the last time you entered the US, then yes that’s what you need.
p.s. number your questions for easy reference.
Thanks for the info. I think I will try and find the old HS diploma just in case
1. Yeah, as far as the tax threshold issue - because Imwas on the O1 and did not make above the tax threshold, imdid not have to submit a tax return. Should i write a note in the package regarding this, or should imjust leave it, and hope it does not incur an RFE?
2. Yes, i do have an afidavit of support all sorted out, with their tax files. The O1 proved to be a very limited visa, and imcannot wait to work unfettered on th4 Greencard.
3. On the 797 - i will not tear of the bottom then. So this can serve both as proof as current visa status and i-95 status, is that correct?
Thanks again for your speedy response, it means a lot.
