recent immigration history B2 to Adjustment of Status - Recent Immigration History question

[alexgtlm21 0]

Hi all,

 

I've been reading through these topics but was not able to find my specific question.

I am a US citizen filing to adjust the status of my wife, current B2 Visa holder, we married in the US and she entered by a land port in California by car. The CBP officer only swiped her Visa but didn't ask for a passport (as usual). My question is, what information should I enter in Part 1's "Recent Immigration History" section, items 15-19?

 

15. Passport Number Used at Last Arrival: Should this be her Mexican passport number, or B2 Visa number?

16. Travel Document Number Used at Last Arrival: I believe this does not apply to our case.

17. Expiration Date of this Passport or Travel Document (mm/dd/yyyy): Again, should this be her Mexican passport expiration date or her B2 Visa?

18. Country that Issued this Passport or Travel Document: Is this is about her passport, or B2 Visa?

19: Nonimmigrant Visa Number from this Passport (if any): Visa number is not listed on her Mexican passport, I believe this is a N/A?

 

Also, do we need a i-94?

 

I need to submit her paperwork in the next few weeks and I am trying to avoid paying a lot of money for legal assistance. Your help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

 

- Alex.

sounds fishy she came in on B2 with the intent to adjust status is what it sounds like which is illegal to do.

 

she can't come in on a B2 visa with the intent to adjust status, and no one here will tell you that is a legal way to get her into the USA.

Well, she is not in US right now, she's been in and out of the country. We got married on November 2018 and we're planning to submit the package in January 2019. Is that an issue?

15. Passport Number Used at Last Arrival: Mexican passport number

16. Travel Document Number Used at Last Arrival: You could put N/A or the B2 visa number but then again you would put that on question 19 anyways. 

17. Expiration Date of this Passport or Travel Document (mm/dd/yyyy): Go with mexican passport on this one

18. Country that Issued this Passport or Travel Document: Mexico

19. Nonimmirant Visa Number from this Passport: "This is where your B2 visa info would go"

what he is attempting to do is illegal, you can not come into the USA on a B2 with the intent to adjust status its called VISA FRAUD!

 

 

if you got married in November file the proper way like everyone else.

We dont know if she came in with intent to marry.  I don't live inside their heads only they know if they did or didn't.  We don't even know if she is going to remain in the USA during the process.  If she is going to wait it out in Mexico then AOS is a moot point.

file the I-130 with all the proper papers and filing fee, wait for approval and then continue the stage from there, try doing things in the proper way and not the illegal way is a great way to start!

She is not inside the US right now.  Therefore, she cannot enter the US via a B2, then submit an I-485 in January without intent...

IDK what more you can explain you said you got married in November she is not in USA now, and you want to adjust her status after entering on a B2 visa, which as we stated is clearly fraud

reality what you need to do is follow this link

https://www.uscis.gov/i-130

 

submit the forms required she can come to visit you, and leave while you bring her into the USA legally

 

the wait for a spouse visa approval is 12-14 months
