k1 Problems with the I485

[Zoryana 0]

Hello! 

I am filling out the I-485 and do not understand this question... 

 

7. Evidence of Continuously Maintaining a Lawful Status Since Arrival in the United States

 

0. Anyone applying under the following immigrant categories must submit evidence to show they have continuously maintained lawful immigration status while in the United States and are therefore not barred from adjustment by INA section 245(c)(2): applicants applying under a family-based preference category or an employment-based preference category; special immigrant religious workers, Afghan or Iraqi nationals, and international broadcasters; and selectees under the Diversity Visa Lottery program.

   Acceptable evidence may include, but is not limited to, copies of the following documents:

   1. Form I-797 approval notices for all extensions and changes of nonimmigrant status;

   2. Form I-94 Arrival-Departure Record, including printouts of paperless I-94 admissions;

   3. Form I-20, Certi cate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant (F-1) Student Status - For Academic and Language Students, or Form I-20, Certi cate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant (M-1) Student Status - For Vocational Students, including all pages containing notations by authorized school of cials;

   4. Form DS-2019 (formerly IAP 66), Certi cate of Eligibility for Exchange Visitor (J-1) Status, including all pages containing notations by authorized exchange visitor program of cials; or

   5. Passport page with an admission or parole stamp (issued by a U.S. immigration of cer).

   Include evidence for every time you entered the United States and for the time periods spent in the United States. See

   the Additional Instructions for information on whether your speci c immigrant category requires this evidence.

   If you are applying as an employment-based rst preference, second preference, or third preference applicant or as a fourth preference special immigrant religious worker and you believe you are exempted from this bar by INA section 245(k), you should submit evidence to prove you qualify for this exemption. For more information, see www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/adjustment-status.

 

My fiancé (husband now) came here, got married, and now his 90 days are up. He has no status as of right now. 

What can I send in to show them evidence of continuously maintaining a lawful status since arrival to the USA.

Is simple, you just need to send a copy of his i94, which is the document anyone gets when enter to the United States. When I entered on my k1 visa, it was a white small paper stapled to my passport but nowdays you can download it. It basically proof that your husband legally entered the United States. That's it

Will it be a problem that we are filling the AOS after 90 days? 

But we got married within 90 days.

It's perfectly fine. The only thing that would be bad is that you got married after the 90 days because that means, you didn't meet the requirements, but is not the case.

 

After the 90 days are done, your spouse is not illegal but not a 100% legal either...is like an immigration limbo...but its completely fine...just make sure to adjust as soon as possible so you can get your spouse work/travel permit that will allow him to get a ssn and his driver's license.

 

I applied shortly after my 90 days were gone...I've known people who have waited 6 months to adjust and they were fine too. I mean is not what you should do but its fine

How long did you wait for the green card? If you don't mind me asking
