Hello everyone,

I just get a checklist form a friend who is getting from www.greencardapply.com
It is not very new [still use INS and I-485 fee is still $255], not sure how old it is?

It says:

I-485 need 4 photos for each people.

4 copies of job verification letter.

4 copies of
all I-20 forms
all H1-B
all H4 for each member

4 copies of birth certificate for each member

4 copies of marriage certificate for husband

4 copies of marriage certificate for spouse


Any body can verify this?

a couple of questions if you don't mind...

-- What did you do with two originals of I-134 (for your wife and your son)? You mentioned only submission of copies of them.

-- Is it required to submit copy of diploma for principal I-485 applicant (you) and for dependent (wife)? (I thought not). Did the lawyer advise you to do that?... Mine is telling me the principal applicant's diploma is necessary for I-140 only and wife's one is not required at all.

-- If the documents were not in English, did you notarize the signature of the person who was translating the documents?

thanks a lot
