How long does it take to Get second letter??
Hi Ruxy,
I posted my forms to KCC asking for AOS on June 16 th and I have been waiting for the reply since then. I confirmed to the KCC regarding the receipt of my package.Is it because that I need to pay the DV fees before I receive the second letter or shall I wait for some time..
Thanks in advance...

I got my second letter (and an email) very shortly after informing KCC I was going to go AOS rather than CP. That was before I sent my payment, so I also suggest you chase them up on this.
Good luck everyone!!!
I'm getting ready to send my AOS in Oct. and this is what I have so far : form I-485, G-325A, I-765, I-134, medical+ copies of I-20. F1 visa, I-94, passport, 2 pics,high school+college diploma, tax returns,DV receipt and both NLs. Hope I'm not missing anything?!
As far as I know the fee for AOS is 1,010 and this includes AP and EAD. Am I correct?

I'm so excited about the cut-off for October 
PTA, what about Birth Certificate (with legal translation) and Marriage certificate (with legal translation) if it's the case, also a bank statement and a letter from your university that confirms your income and status? If I remember something else, I let you know, however look on the second page of this subject, I posted a list with what I could find until now about the USCIS package. Good luck!!

Thanks, Ruxy. Yeah, I'll definitely have my Birth Certificate and letters from school. I was wondering if there is a difference between the bio form G325A and G325. I just noticed that you have on your package list G325 and I thought we need to fill out G325A
If you need legal advice about an immigration matter but cannot afford to hire an att
Hi folks!
Look what I've found on USCIS web-site:
Finding Legal Advice
An individual or entity in the United States may choose to be represented by an attorney or accredited representative when filing applications or petitions with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Know Your Rights
If you choose to have a representative when filing an application or petition with USCIS, an attorney or an accredited representative of a recognized organization may represent you. A representative must also file a “NOTICE OF ENTRY OF APPEARANCE AS ATTORNEY OR REPRESENTATIVE” (Form G-28) along with the application or petition. In matters filed within the United States, only attorneys and accredited representatives may communicate on your behalf to USCIS and receive information from USCIS regarding your application or petition.
If you need legal advice about an immigration matter but cannot afford to hire an attorney, you may be able to ask an attorney, an association of immigration lawyers, a state bar association, or an organization specially -accredited to provide such assistance about the availability of free or reduced cost legal services on immigration issues.
Attorneys
Attorneys must be a member in good standing of the “bar” of a U.S. State (or U.S. possession, territory, Commonwealth, or the District of Columbia) and not be under any court order restricting their practice of law. Attorneys will check the first block on Form G-28 and must provide information regarding their admission to practice. The best way to protect yourself is to ask to see the current attorney licensing document for the attorney, make a note of the admission number if any, and to contact the State bar admission authorities to verify the information. A lawfully admitted attorney should honor your request for this information, as State Bar practice rules require disclosure of this information to clients. You may also access this information through the National Organization of Bar Counsel (NOBC) website. See the Ethics link, then click on Bar Associations and Disciplinary Authorities.
Accredited Representatives
Accredited representatives must work for a Recognized Organization in order to be eligible to represent you before USCIS and file a Form G-28. They may be authorized to practice before the Immigration Courts, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and/or USCIS. The best way to protect yourself is to ask to see a copy of the BIA decision granting official recognition to the Accredited Representative and Recognized Organization. Recognized organizations may only charge nominal fees, if any, for providing services in immigration matters. An accredited representative of a recognized organization should honor your request. You may also check the Recognition Accreditation Roster maintained by the Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR.)
While other individuals (notary publics and immigration consultants) may assist you by filling in the blanks on pre-printed USCIS forms with information provided by you, these individuals may NOT represent you before USCIS. In addition, notary publics and immigration consultants may only charge nominal fees as regulated by state law. Individuals helping you in this way are required by law to disclose to USCIS their assistance by completing the section at the bottom of a petition or application concerning the “Preparer” of the form.
How to Protect Yourself from Becoming a Victim
1. DO NOT sign blank applications, petitions or other papers.
2. DO NOT sign documents that you do not understand.
3. DO NOT sign documents that contain false statements or inaccurate information.
4. DO NOT let anyone keep your original documents.
5. DO NOT make payments to a representative without getting a receipt.
6. DO obtain copies of all documents prepared or submitted for you.
7. DO verify an attorney’s or accredited representative’s eligibility to represent you.
8. DO report any representative’s unlawful activity to USCIS, State Bar Associations and/or State Offices of Attorneys General.

West Palm Beach, Fl. How about yours?
Hi Ruxy,
I have one question for you. I am also on F1 visa here in USA and I have EU00008xxx number. I work also as a RA at University. Are you sure that we need I-134 Affidavit of Support with supporting documents? Who has to fill it for us? What about taxes papers?
Thank you
Jelica

Hi Jelica,
I wish I can answer to your questions. I need to read this forum more intensively , at least the thread '2007 AoS only' to see what other people did. I plan to do this, but not now since it's very busy here at the beginning of the semester as you know.
Ruxy thanks anyway,
I also have to read more about all procedure but don't have time. I read this I-134 and it is for people who have family here or if employer wants to fill it for them to be sponsor. I don't believe that University will do that. We have to check this.
And, Johnkent 180$ is not so much, I paid almost 500$ for me and 500$ for my husband. When we make appointment doctor told us that it will cost 180$, but
And I don't know did you see that costs for AOS application are now 1010$?
