Filing of I-130 and I-485 for Step-Child

[NikLR 13,232]

As you are not adjusting from a K2, that means that acknowledgment or consent has not yet been official received by the government.

Because they may want to know that the child is there with his mother's knowledge and not kidnapped. 

 

My daughter lives in Canada with her father by her choice.  She needs a travel consent form each time she flies to see me or if he takes her out of Canada or if I were to take her out of the USA while visiting.  Granted, it's not always asked for, but one should be prepared for this issue.  Any child immigrating with a visa from Canada to the USA needs a letter of acknowledgment from the parent who is not immigrating so it makes sense that a child may need a letter of acknowledgment when adjusting their status. 

Thanks for the detail explanation. My son's mother and I signed a "Parenting Plan" letter and agreed our son will living with US and we will be taking care of all matters around his life. Would this letter (Parenting Plan) be sufficient?

yes it does, the i485 is pending,  that doesn't give him legal status

 

I've had a work permit, when my i485 was pending, with the work permit card valid for 1 year, you can live, travel in the US, study within the year while the case is pending, that is the proof that you have in hand

 

you can get a social security card, open bank accounts, go to school, get a job, it's a proof of temporary legal status until the pending case is resolved

 

showing the card to police or employer, school, or anyone means that you are temporarily legal in the country, that's what I meant

 

my USC mom filed for me as a child over 21 under the 245i law

 

 

On form I-765, questions 16. Eligibility Category, should I put down "Adjustment Applicant - (c)(9)"?

Is it notarized?

It's not notarized. I'll get it notarized before we go to the interview. Thank you for you help.

Does anyone know when we concurrently file forms I-130 and I-485 together, do we send/mail it to the same USCIS?
