4. Meanwhile arrange the documents you will need for this application.
Here's is an extensive list of what would you need in order to ready your packet.
Note: I placed my documents in 3 separate transparent folders which I labeled outside with the corresponding purpose. This is to avoid the papers being misplaced, hence that after USCIS receives these 3 applications, they will forward it to 3 different offices for processing.

When your packet is ready to shoot, then you would have to find the correct address on which you need to send the packet. It varies according to the location you are living at. Go to the website mentioned below to find out the USCIS office, that deals your area.
If you ever have to move to the new address, after filling of the AOS application, you need to inform USCIS by submitting AR-11 Form. You can do that online on this website
US citizen doesn't have to fill out AR-11 form but the other one USCIS has on its website.

Very helpful, thank you for makin this easy. Now i wont be looking to other sites for the requirements.
hello po..
my friend already filed for her aos
and she said medical is not needed no more how true is that?
Wala nang medical pero may vaccine or immunization na lang. If you have completed the vaccines at Saint Luke then ok nang walang immunization. Minsan naman yung iba hindi complete yung vaccines nila sa saint luke pero yung vaccine sheet result na binigay nang saint luke ay pina transcribe na lang nila sa surgeon doctor dito sa US. I-693 form, yan ang transcribed vaccine result galing sa surgeon na naka sealed and then e include mo yan sa AOS application. Sana na sagot ko ang tanong mo. Message ka lang ulit if my clarification ka pa.
thanks for sharing its a great help http://basicinformationinfillingk-1visa/
hi
to everyone here in this forum i have a quick question regarding the police clearance in japan, yesterday i went to US embassy to pass my pcc and they told me to wait for thier call or mail my question how long this usually take before they send the visa im a bit worried if this will take long, and i did not pay the Air21 they said the payment is upon delivery. hope you guys can help me with this thank you and god bless
Don't worry too much. It won't take long. It usually take 1 week. Same thing happened to my friend who lives in Davao. She submitted her Japan Police Clearance after her interview and got her visa after a week. Goodluck. Keep us updated.
Hi !
Thank you so much! so helpful! I just have one question, do you know wher I-130 should be be? in which foder?
Thank you so much again!
The guide that was posted here would be very helpful to those who are going to US for application of Adjustment of Status. Steps by steps guide are very clear. List of requirements are also detailed. It would make the application easier. It was really a great help.
The process for adjustment of status is a three-step process. You have to go through these three steps to get permanent residency. This process can take several years to complete. The time this process can take to complete depends on the type of immigration you selected or the country to which you belong.
For immigrants adjustment of status may take longer than the expected processing times. The USCIS will evaluate the factors of your adjustment of support as a basis and it can be a lengthy procedure.
