Fiancé arrived on 2/19/24. We got married and about to file I-485 and require the I-94.
I looked it up and the most recent I-94 was not found. With her former passport, I can see her I-94 from 2020 and from her first passport, I can see her I-94 from 2022. This was bizarre to us.
I called the CBP and they told me to email them with all the information required. It's been six weeks with no response. I'm completely at a lost now on what to do.
I'm even okay to visit the airport at this point and get this solved directly if required.
Anyone deal with a similar s ..read more

I am currently filling out the I-864 and trying to make sure I cover my bases to avoid an RFE. My income is over the minimum poverty guidelines required, which based on the instructions means I can include just my tax returns for the last 3 years and be all set with evidence?
Would there be any harm in including additional evidence of my finances and employment:
- Employment verification letter
- Pay stubs
- W2s
Thank you ..read more

Hello everyone,
Woke up to an RFE notification on our case status this morning. Our timeline is: I-797 May 16, Scheduled Biometrics May 24, RFE sent May 28. I am a bit confused, as we have only received the 797 in the mail, which was Sat the 25th. I had assumed we were at a standstill until biometrics are complete. We did not submit for EAD or AP, just the 485 and 864. I make 7x the poverty level cutoff, submitted last 3 years of tax transcripts, employment verification, etc. Can anyone shine some light on this? I know I have to wait to actually ..read more

My husband and I are currently filling out the I-485. Section 24.a asks if you have "ever been a nonimmigrant J visitor who was subject to a two-year foreign residence requirement."
My husband previously worked in the U.S. under a J1 visa back in 2016, and does not recall any 2-year requirement. Following his J1 visa, he lived in New Zealand for 6 months, Canada for 2 and then France for 4 years (so I am hoping he would pass that requirement if it was required?)
Not sure if we would answer No for this question (not subject to this requirement) or if we should answer Yes knowing t ..read more

Hey everyone!
I am putting together my paper work for the Adjustment of status (K1 visa holder) and I haven't seen any specific form used for the BIOMETRICS APPOINTMENT or something similar. I am not sure if I need to complete a new form besides (I-485, I-864, I-765, I-131, I-693). I already read your post about forms needed.
Is there any other form specific for Biometrics? or they are just gonna let me know when I should go to my appointment?  ..read more

Hi folks,
So I have applied for my AOS last October. My wife is my sponsor. But last month she had to quit her job for some reasons. She has already made the minimum required income in our state. I was wondering if it is okay not to have a job in the interview day? Does anybody have related experience?

I'm currently at the Adjustment of Status process, and I need some guidance regarding the income requirements.
My fiancé has his father as my co-sponsor for AOS, but he is short 3000$ on his most recent tax return (2023) for the poverty guidelines required by USCIS.
However, my fiancé's father secured a new job with an annual salary of $50,000. We're now unsure how to properly document and present this new income to USCIS during the AOS process since his tax returns show a different income ..read more

Hello,
My I-485 packet was delivered 2 weeks ago and I opted in for the notification via email when it was received. I still have not received a notification of receipt.
How much longer should I wait before sending it in again? At this point my fiance's k1 visa has expired, we did get married within the 90 days though.
Thanks for the help ..read more

My fiance had his consular interview today and his K1 visa was approved! We're really excited, but I'm having a hard time finding clear information about the timeline of events between now and the end of the 90 days.
For context, he plans to come to the US in about 4-5 months (within the 6-month window), and we will have our ceremonial wedding approximately 2 months after that (within the 90-day window) This will allow ample time for him to tie up loose ends in his home country and for us to be able to fully plan our wedding.
TIMELINE QUESTIONS:
Once he gets to the US, when woul ..read more
