[ValentinB 1]

Hey everyone!

 

Just wanted to let you know that I sent my package last night to the Chicago office! 🍾

 

Thanks to everyone who answers our questions on this forum!

 

I would also like to share my cover letter lists, if you're interested in reading it.

I know that the documents depends on your situations but if you find the time, I would appreciate if you could tell me if you think that I am missing some documents, so I can prepare myself to some RFEs lol.

 

Just to give you some background, we were living in France together, my wife decided to move back to the US in October, I decided to do my green card process through consular processing from Paris, France. I still traveled with her to help her out in the first two or three months, with an ESTA through the VWP. These last weeks I changed my mind and don't want to get back to France so I decided to adjust status. Financially, my wife was a student in France and had very little income so she was never required to file her taxes. She got a job as soon as she moved paying well above the 125% poverty guideline to support us while I cant work. And that's pretty much it.

What you submitted looks good, but did you know that you could file for EAD and so you can work and travel internationally? Forms I-765 and I-131

Did you send separate supporting documents for those forms? Remember that each form is a different application. You would need 2 passport pics for EAD, 2 more for AP. And all the other supporting documents that these 2 forms requires.

 

765 and 131 are not part of the 485 package. They are forms that can be filed at the same time as the 485.
