Hello,

I came to find out, while enrolled in classes still for my last semester before graduation, that my I-20 has expired (and has been for other 6 months, I should have checked it). Due to this the DSO told me a few options.

1. Re-instatement (which would be rejected as I have been Out of Status for more than 180 days.

2. Return home and re-apply for a student visa.

My girlfriend and I were already planning on getting married after graduation in May. We decided to move this up to next week and file for an Adjustment of Status based on marriage. I have a couple of quick questions:

1. When applying for the adjustment of status, will I have to provide a CS medical exam?
2. Seeing as I am currently out of status with the University, when I file the AOS will I still be allowed to continue in classes and graduate on time in May?

3. My future wife is also a student at the same University and will also be graduating in May. Due to this, we don't have a lot of documents such as bills, leasing agreement, etc. with our name on it. Will this affect such things as our interview process?
4. What do we need to send off together when applying for Adjustment of Status. I know the basic forms such as I-130, G-325a, I-864, I-485, and I-765 will be sent in. Is there anything that I'm missing

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated

You will need to do a medical

Talk to the Uni about what they will do.

The interview is a fair way away so you have time to collect what is needed.

Check the guides.

I am currently in the process of sending off the required info. I had one quick question regarding this. It is a concurrent filing of I-130, I-485, I-765. With the I-765, do I have to submit extra copies of my I-94 and other documents if they have already been included in the I-485 application? Also, the guide on this website mentions that I have to file a copy of my G-325a under both I-130 and I-485. Is this correct?

So far for the number of photos, I have:

I-130 1 of citizen, 1 of spouse
G-325a 1 of citizen 1 of spouse

I-485 2 of spouse

I-765 2 of spouse

Is this correct?

Thanks in advance.
