I-485 is the intending immigrant’s petition, not the US citizen’s. So your spouse is the one answering the questions as they pertain to her.

 

 

Since I-485 can only be filed physically, it’s better to file the rest together physically as well.

yes, but as she is married with me I believe she can file for cuban adjustment as well. wondering if anyone here know more about this.

 

Thanks for your help.

Sorry, but I don't see the point of that when she’s adjusting in the basis of marriage to a US citizen. There’s no need to make things more complicated than they should be.

hello everyone.

 

I am in the final face of filling all the forms to apply for Adjustment of status for my now new wife. I have a few things I wanted to confirm and reconfirm to make sure I don't make any mistakes. Thanks in advance.

 

Case. I am a US citizen, originally born in Cuba , have been a us citizen for since 2009, my now wife came on an ESTA visa, we got marry here in US.

 

form I am summiting:

 

I-130.   Petition for Alien Relative

I-30A.     Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary

I-864.   Affidavit of support

I-485. AOS

I-131.  Travel (advance parole).

I-765.  Work permit (EAD)           

G-1145. E notification of Acceptance. 

 

filling fees: 

 

I-130. $675

I-485  $1,440

 

questions/doubts

 

1- Should I summit I-130 online and send I-485 and others by mail? 

2- Do I have to summit any form for medical records or criminal records?

3- my Alien registration #? In my certificate of naturalization I see a CIS registration number A#######, is that it? or because

I am a US citizen already I leave blank?

4- Shall I include photos of our long relationship before we got married? (already have lease and shared bank statements)

5- is it better to add more sponsors besides myself for safety? my income, savings, her bank savings, including those.

 

any other tips are welcome . trying to get this done as soon as possible and I am very close. wish me luck .

hope for speedy and easy process .

 

thank you all for all your help.

Happy Holidays !!!

You forgot the fees for the I-131 and the I-765. These are no longer free when filing with the I-485

 

Maybe I am mistaken, but I think medicals need to be included in the I-485 now. 
 

I would send everything by mail, just so you have it all together.

You're not mistaken for a AOS case like this, I-693 needs to be sent in with other forms.

Agreed on that.

Agreed on that.

 I am sorry, are you saying I need to add I-693 together with the forms mentioned above? I missed that I guess.

 

any ideas on how to find an authorized doctor for this?

 

I will search.

 

thanks

Happy New Year everyone!!!!

 

I have all documents and forms ready to be mailed.

 

I am going to by the money orders tomorrow and send the petition. 

I checked everything so I made sure there are no mistakes and hope for best. Nervous and exited.

 

Just confirming with you all that I am not missing anything.

 

Money orders are ok right?

 

I got this fees so far

 

I-130  $675

I-485. $1440

I- 765.  $ 260.     (this one I have some doubts) I think because I am doing I-485 this is the correct amount. right?

 

I-864 is free

G-1145  free

 

we are not doing I-131 advance parole.

 

This is it right?

 

I have the medicals I-693 included.

a friend told me I don't need the police records.

 

a question. Finger prints I don't have to include anything about that in the application right?

 

nervous ....

 

thank you, thank you, thank you.

good morning everyone.

 

Slow this new year. hope everyone is well.

 

I have a decision to make and doing lots of research and thinking.

 

Form I-864

I am the main sponsor. trying to decide if I qualify by myself or if I need a co-sponsor.

I made enough money last year and will be the same or a bit better this year. But I get paid with 1099s.

now my schedule C has the full amount I got actually paid las year. but the 1040 line 9. says total income and it has a lower number.

I guess expenses and deductions I made last year were taking out. now what is my total income? schedule C, (what I got paid for my services)

or line 9. total income. (after expenses ).

 

a bit tricky to have a clear idea from everything I have heard about this subject.

 

hope someone has a good idea and I can avoid making a mistake here.

 

Thank you so much.

 

peace

If any of the totals (adjusted total income or just total income) falls below 125% poverty guideline, I'd look for a joint sponsor.
