you could have them review the guide , over at http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2

*** not an IR-1/CR-1 VISA question, moving to AOS/work/student/tourist forum ***

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Loto - ya - check the timestamps :D we were both writing at the same time, same topic. You were a few seconds faster - so you win.

LadyC - I do suggest to yer friend that they study that guide, include the EAD application WITH the original submittal - EAD application fees are waived WHEN it's all submitted together - and is useful to have the EAD, if the foreign spouse wishes to work in USA whilst waiting for greencard to arrive.

IF the foreign spouse has returned to 'home country', though - has left the USA - then is not an AOS case, at all, is a CR-1 visa case - see http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide1 for the proper instructions.

Good Luck !

BTW, if it has been a few months you want to have her verify that he was on an actual Visa and not The Visa Waiver Program. If he entered on VWP and has overstayed (and is out of status) then his chance of successful AOS has dropped dramatically as USCIS has started denying VWP Oversstay AOS bases on the VWP waiver of rights regarding removal at the end of their permitted stay trumping allowing the Spouse of a USC to file for AOS!


Must have info for bringing your Philippine wife/fiancee's child to the US



A Good Example of why to NEVER use a Fixer in the Philippines

Jess beat me to it. I was gonna say Quana went through the same situation so she knows what's up. If she still remembers. I know I forget a lot of the steps already. :bonk: <---- that is to myself.

To the lady with the twins pics. They are ADORABLE. I always love to see them when you are offering help to others.
