i-130. Does my husband have to submit his adoption documents with his i-130

[pmbaker 0]

Hello,

Question #1: I came here on F-1 visa and graduated in December. Currently on OPT but unemployed and the OPT is gonna get cancelled by the end of February. I wonder if I submit my paperwork by the end of February, am I gonna stay in the US illegally?

Question #2: My husband is an american citizen, but he gained citizenship through adoption. Does he have to submit his adoption documents with his i-130?

Question #3: My husband has filed i-130 for two other persons? Does he have to submit these copies of petitions?

If you can answer all 3 questions, or just 1, that'd be great! Thank you all.

Filing at the last moment also looks a little funny but you should be ok

He needs to have proof of citizenship , does he have a passport

The I130's were they for prior spouses ? If so he needs divorce papers from each. Otherwise he needs to know if he is still responsible for the affidavit of support

1. Yes, once your application is accepted, you are consider legal.

2. No. He's already a citizen so adoption documents are not necessary..

3. No. If he petitioned a wife in the past, if might be a red flag but if its other family members, then it shouldn't be a problem..

Hello. He filed out petitions for his ex-wife and adopted her niece as their daughter. They got divorced couple years ago (I have his divorce papers at hand), and both his ex-wife and adopted daughter have become american citizens. It leads to this question in his i-864EZ: how many people does he have to sponsor. I believe that as they become american citizens, he is no longer responsible for being their sponsors. Am I correct? If so, the number of persons that he sponsors is only 2: me and himself.

Correct. The I-864s he filed for them are no longer in force, since they have become USCs. There may be a little more scrutiny since he has petitioned for a spouse in the past, but the face that it was several years ago is in your favor and you shouldn't worry about it.
