my i94 is expired and we didnt send the AOS yet waiting for some documents, is that okay? anybody sent the package after I94 expired????

Just as long as you married  before the 90 days expired you are fine,  but as what was already stated try to send in your AOS as soon as possible.

Hello!  Hope everyones process is going smooooothy!

 

Question about the i-944: if my husband and I file our taxes jointly (over the past 2 years even though i am canadian) would i need to provide credit checks, debts and assets info for both of us??   

 

Also- is anyone hiring a lawyer?  I have been quoted anywhere between $1500 and $7000!  Crazy

We also filed our taxes jointly for the past 2 years. And no, we did not include any assets/debts in I-944 at all as my foreign husband has neither and I did not want to provide more paperwork other than 2019 tax transcript and paystubs because my income is well over the poverty guideline. So far our AOS package was accepted and no RFE yet (knock-knock-knock!).

Why would you spent your hard earned $$$ on lawyers when this Forum is for free? You can find all the info you need here. Besides, here we saw plenty erroneous legal advice and paperwork mistakes/omissions done by lawyers.

We sent our AOS package in today for the 3rd time after two rejections. This I944 was really dreadful and with this forum's help hopefully we get it right the 3rd time.

Good luck. I'm waiting on my third try as well...

Not at that stage yet due to the pandemic, but is having a high school diploma as the only noteworthy thing to add onto my AoS form make it harder for me to be approved to receive a green card? I am Canadian.

Finger crossed for all of us!!

i am not sure i understand a question on the I-485.  Part 1 question 24 - "what is your current immigration status (if it has changed since your arrival)?"  how do you answer that?  We are now married, does that automatically change the status from nonimmigrant to immigrant status or do i put NA?

I'm  sure you both will be fine,  seems it does take 3 times for them to accept it. Hang in there and forward march!!!

I-131 is optional. It is not mandatory for you to file this form.

I dont think you'll have any issues. just file your AOS package as soon as possible.

Thank you!

My foreign husband does not even have that😆 We added an explanation of his special circumstances though.
