We received biometrics appt letter this past week, we are to go to the USCIS Glenmont This was not on the pull-down list of USCIS local offices on the timeline page. Yesterday we drove past the address, and sure enough, there is a USCIS local office there only a few blocks away from where Nid is taking her ESOL class. Her class ends mid-Dec, so we are hoping her EAD will come real soon.

Hi, we're November filers too! We sent our forms on Nov 13 and they were delivered on Nov 15th - I just hope all the upcoming holidays doesn't slow things down too much.

We were married nov.3rd. Ilyana's K-1 visa expires nov. 20th , and her 90 days in the country is nov.30th. We haven't sent the I-485 yet. I know we have to send one for her 16 year old daughter too, but do we have to pay the 1000 dollar fee for her as well? The "FAQ" are not exactly clear about it. To me anyway.

I haven't been preparing for the rest of the process much since she got here. Now the state of "out of status" is getting near. Should I really be afraid of taking a couple more months to file?

I can only respond you from my own experience and from what I read while browsing visajourney.

I know that I paid 600 $ for my daugther, but she is 4. Here's a quote from uscis site: "Filing Fee :

$930 plus a biometrics fee of $80; the fee total is $1,010. Exceptions listed below. There is no fee for applicants who are filing Form I-485 based on having been admitted to the United States as a refugee. Applicants 79 years of age or older are not charged a biometric fee; the fee total is $930. Applicants under 14 years of age: - Filing with the I-485 application of at least one parent have a fee total of $600 - Not filing with the I-485 application of at least one parent have a fee total of $930 "

So, it appears that you would have to pay the same amount (1,010 $) for your step daughter as well.

As for the time frame, the requirement is that your wife got married within the 90 days timeframe, not to adjust in the same time as well. I suggest you browse visa journey, the AOS forum, there have been lots of topics like this, and the idea that I got was that yes, you can wait with the AOS, even after the visa expires. That is, if you are willing to wait for her getting a job and travelling. It might be tough for her just to sit and wait

We're hopefully November filers. We sent out papers out today Nov 20th. Too bad Thanksgiving is upon us in a few days, so nothing will happen all week, I'm sure So if need be, we'll be moving to/starting a December thread
