DACA to AOS - Page 285

Just make sure you send in your paperwork during your window and you'll get a letter in the mail stating your conditional status has been extended for 18 months.

To clarify, do you mean that you're allowed to submit the N-400 and I-751 at the same time?

Hey guys.

I recently got married and the wife and I will begin the AOS process soon. We got married last Friday and we've been proactive about getting things ready.

So far we...

1. Picked up our official marriage license at the County (yesterday)
2. Opened a joint bank account at the local CU (today)
3. She went to the SS office to request a new card, she took my name (today)
4. She's going into the DMV next Monday to get her CA Real ID Drivers license with updated name
5. We have a copious amount of pictures dating back from Aug 2015 when we started dating. She saved all of our boarding passes to places we've traveled, and we've traveled around the country extensively. Probably around 30 boarding passes each. She also created a scrapbook of our adventures and has added to it periodically.
6. Added her to my insurance (yesterday) since my benefits are much better.


Is there anything else we should have?
-How do we prove we live together. She hasn't forwarded her mail to my place yet
-We don't have kids (yet)

Any tips/advice would be greatly and immensely appreciated, or if you could point me to a good post/page with more info.

Thanks again!
