The U.S Citizen and his/her spouse generally need to file the following forms along with supplemental evidence and correct filling fees:

Forms I-130 ($535)

Form I-130 A

Form I-485 ($1225) includes biometrics fee

Form I-864, Affidavit of Support

Form I-131 Application for Travel Document

Form I-765 Application for Employment Authorization and

I-693 Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record which can be obtained from a USCIS approved Civil Surgeon.

Form I-131 and I-765 are optional and required no filing fee when applying for AOS

Correct, all three in same package, place G1145 at the top. I place my i-94 in both I-130 and I-485, just my preference and a cover letter will be nice too ( not a must)

Any tips that can help me?

Any tips that can help me?

Make a copy of everything you send to USCIS for yourself.
Don't send original documents
Maybe helpful to include a few pic, joint accounts/utility bill in same package (not a must) you will have to take them with you to the interview anyways

As long as your marriage is authentic and you tell the truth on the forms and at the interview you should be OK
the hardest part is the waiting.
Good Luck

Hi

Don't you have to wait until the biometrics interview to take the medical report? Would it still be valid if sent when applying? I read on the website that it may not be valid when they finally open it and persons should do the medical a little before the biometrics interview

The I693 is a part of the AOS package, if it is not send with the initial package you will get RFE for it. So no harm in not doing it since some people may be concerned about its validity expiring before they get the interview, but a RFE will prolong the process.
