There are lots of forms and back up evidence required. Some of the below may not apply (divorce or widowed) and the list isn't exhaustive. Hopefully other people may comment on what I may have missed. I would read the USCIS site too as it has info on payment methods etc.Originally posted by Eva Tagra Cruz View Post
Do the best that you can in finding the info needed and see what they say when they receive your application. I am yet to file but soon I hope.
There is of course the I-130 form which has its own set of paperwork and evidence requirements.
I don't think there is one definitive list they ask for, the way I will approach it is to give details wherever I can so they can see I have made attempts to gather as much as I can and am not trying to hide anything.
1. Payment as required by USCIS. Be sure to include the payment for both the I-485 and the biometrics fee*.
2. Cover Letter. Should include a description of what your are petitioning for (I-485), a table of contents (list everything in the packet). If you need additional room to explain your case, attach a separate sheet (list the attachment on the cover sheet). Make sure to sign and date the cover sheet.
3. Form I-485: Petition for Alien Relative
4. Copy of the non US Citizen Spouses passport
5. Electronic I-94 Copy or (for older entries) a copy of the non US Citizen Spouses valid paper I-94
6. A copy of the intending immigrant's birth certificate along with English translation. (If in any language other than English)
7. A certified copy of your marriage certificate. (If filing for your spouse)
8. A copy of the petitioner's and/or intending immigrant's divorce documents. (If filing for a spouse, and one or both of you have been divorced before)
9. A copy of a prior spouse's death certificate. (If filing for a spouse, and one or both have you were married before, and the prior spouse died)
10. Two passport-type photos (see specification) of the Non US Citizen Spouse. Write the full name on the back. Place in a plastic bag and label the bag "Photo of <Insert Name>". Attach the bag to a sheet of paper and place behind the corresponding G-325a.
11. G-325A filled out, signed and dated.
12. I-693, Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status in a sealed envelope
13. I-864, Affidavit of Support
>> Include any additional required supporting documentation
14. I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, if you want to work while your application is processed (optional)
>> Include any additional required supporting documentation or photos as well as payment per USCIS instructions.
15. I-131, Application for Travel Document, if you need to travel outside the United States while your application is processed (optional)
