Good morning. So we've decided to get married while I was visiting my bf with a tourist visa, how can I prove that it wasn't intentionally? Should I send a copy of my flight ticket, or something else too, with my green card application? Or should I wait until i'll be called for an appointment? I don't find nowhere an answer...

I had a question that may not go here, but please direct me if applicable. My fiancé arrived in the USA last week and we will be getting married March 17 (K1 visa). My question is, where is she able to travel for our honeymoon? I would guess we could go to Hawaii as it is the USA....but what about an Alaskan Cruise that must make a stop in Canada. Or a Mexican cruise that leaves from Los Angeles. Not sure about the law here and don't want to get in trouble...Thanks in advance for your answer(s).

It is important that she does not leave the country until she receives her Advance Parole or the application will be considered abandoned. So have your honeymoon in the U.S. There are plenty of great places here.

Step-by-Step Guide on How to File AOS packet:

http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2

Is there a similar guide but for I-140 + I-485 applicants?

[LostSwede 0]

For the petitioner on the I-130 form, regarding employment history. My wife is an actress and she'll work a day here and a day there resulting in many W2's etc from many different places.
Should we show just the longer employment periods where the majority of the income comes from for a particular gig or do we need to show every single paycheck she had for the last five years,
which can sometimes be for just one day and less than $300? We're talking adding several pages of the Additional Information sheet.

Hi everyone,

 

I applied for AOS under marriage last year in Houston and we havent gotten an interview date yet. I got a job offer but the employer wont take me because my EAD expires this August. I have sent them a copy of my receipt notice from USCIS. Does anyone know what I can do about this? Will an info pass session help me.

It is illegal for employer for employer to ask about work authorization before they hire you. How did they find out that it expires in august? It is also illegal for them refuse you employment because your EAD expires in the future.

I got a questions about the i-864 form.

 

My wife make under the poverty limit right now, but due to an inheritance she has ~$150,000 available in a bank account. Would it be possible to compliment the income with the saved assets? 

 

I'm just curious if this is up to date : http://www.visajourney.com/content/support

yes USCIS prefers you use one or the other.

Is there any difference in terms of process or difficulty in getting AOS approved from VWP vs. B-2 Visa?

[GEOntificator 281]

Hi everyone! 

 

Today, I received an official interview notice for I-485 which is scheduled for Aug 22nd. It has all the generic stuff in it except one part...

 

There was a second sheet and on it is says attachment and below it says that submitted I-693 is either expired or my file does not contain a valid I-693 form. I am very confused... I submitted I-693 at the time of filing which was way less than 1 year ago. Also, the USCIS did not send me the courtesy letter about I-693 that most people get when they do not submit medical form at the time of filing. Has anyone experienced the same issue? If so, how did you resolve it? Any advice would be much appreciated.

 

Attached is the screenshot of this attachment section.

 

Thanks in advance!
