There was a saying from various forums about dating in Ukraine/Russia/Belarus:  If your girlfriend likes/loves you, you will know it.  The above does not sound like she loves you or likes you.

So, is it that if I don't file AOS within 90 days from the time she entered the US she will be deported even though she is married to me?

Is it possible? yes.  Is it probable?

She will not be deported, have no fear. Work through this and file AOS when you two are ready. 
 

 

There are no benefits in waiting until after 90 days to file the I-485.

Ukrainians are NOT being deported.

Thanks for pointing that out. Even so, I wouldn't delay filing for the other reasons.  I think life is much easier.

You are truly blessed to sing only praise of your Beloved…( at least in my short span on VJ) ..

OP has so eloquently shared his own ( unspoken) doubts / fears / distorted regrets disguised as self-doubt…

AND he bears the weight and joy of loving her children……so hope he gets to where you are , SLOW and STEADY.

No matter his choice, he will live w NO Regrets!

I understand that.  My point is that Green card and citizenship don't come until an I-485 package is filed... For those things, sooner is normally better than later..... once the decision is made to go forward with the marriage.  I certainly wouldn't rush into anything.

Thanks all. I have decided to file the AOS for my wife and her kids. The question I have now is how many passport size pictures of each are needed for the following:

 

My Wife: I-485, I-765, I-131, I-864

Her kids (each): I-485, I-131, I-864

 

For I-864, as it's my affidavit do I need to put my passport size pictures? Appreciate your responses. Thanks.

It is a good to do  I-765 for children as well. It will serve as id and evidence of status until green card 

2 passport style photos of each of you 

I'm very confused with the intent of I-765 EAD (Employment Authorization card). Even if I apply how will the USCIS grant EAD for 8 and 15 year old kids? I think it is illegal for kids to work under 18 so why would they issue one in the first place? Did any of you done that and got the EADs for minors?

 

Attached is what I found on EAD for minors.

 

Regarding the passport photos, I'm still not clear as how many I would need for each of the forms below:

 

My Wife:

I-485 - ?

I-765 - ?

I-131 - ?

I-864 - ?

 

Her kids (each):

 

I-485 - ?

I-131 - ?

I-864 - ?

I believe the EADs will allow the kids to get social security numbers. Also, the 15 year old will soon qualify to apply for a driver's license. Depends on the state, but some require an EAD and SS number to grant a learner's permit and eventually a full license.
