Filing soon, super anxious…

[Shadaryia 11]

I finally have all the money needed to file my husbands papers.  Yesterday we started the process and we met with a long standing, very experienced immigration attorney that has been practicing in the area for a  long time, but he surprised me when he didn’t initially plan to submit relationship proof pictures in with the

i-485/i-130/i-864  and said pictures can be shown at the interview. He normally just submits things like joint bank account statements etc.     I had brought relationship pictures prepared and asked if he could include them because I wanted to give immigration a complete evidence filing package from the start.   I do not want to wait until the interview to show pictures of proof to “fight”  our case then cause we both suffer from anxiety and are super nervous about the interview.  We will of course bring more pictures for the interview, recent bank statements etc  just want to give a complete presentation up front.    He agreed to include the pictures I brought along with our other proof, like car title in our names, car insurance  etc.   We will meet with the lawyer again in 2 weeks.

 In the interim,  We need to go get the necessary  passport photos, most recent pay stubs  and our current joint bank account statements.  
 

I am super nervous and scared.  It’s very hard for me to trust anyone at all, especially with something so important and I pray it gets done correctly and things go well.

I know how you feel  My wife did ours all by herself because nobody cares more about your case than you do. Ask for a complete Xerox copy of the packages he will be submitting so you have our own record.

 

And a minor detail…you mention submitting “I-485/i-130/i-864” as if those are 3 separate applications. The affidavit of support (I-864) is not an application for immigration benefits. It is supporting evidence under the Adjustment of Status (I-485) package. 
 

Did the attorney not discuss  filing:

.	I-765, Application for Employment Authorization   I-131, Application for Travel Document   I wish you well. I know how important this is to you.
