Good afternoon,

My Brother-In-Law in Vietnam is in the process of applying for his B2. He filled out the DS-160 and submitted it online. He then went and setup an appointment mid October for his interview in Ho Chi Minh City. My question is, his DS-160 confirmation page is missing his middle name so it doesn't match his passport. Will this be an issue at the consulate, and if so, what is the way ahead to rectify this?

Thanks

My spouse (the one applying for Adjustment of Status) and I live with my parents. They do not sponsor her. I put only myself on the Affidavit of Support because I support her and am her sole sponsor. On the household size for the I-485, I put 2 (me and her). We have an interview next week and I'm wondering if I should have put 4 instead on household size to account for my parents as well. Do I need to correct it to 4, and if so, how would I do that?

Hello all,

My friend has her interview in Bucharest Romania on December 30th. Our plan was for her to visit me in Atlanta in early January.

She found an agency and "supposedly" they helped her fill out the forms. But she sent me this and now I am concerned:

Travel Information
The List of Purposes of Trip to the U.S.
Purpose of Trip to the U.S. (1): TEMP. BUSINESS OR PLEASURE VISITOR (B)
Specify: BUSINESS OR TOURISM (TEMPORARY VISITOR)

(B1/B2)
Have you made specific travel plans? YES
Provide a complete itinerary for your travel to the U.S.:
Date of Arrival in U.S.: 01 MAY 2026
Arrival City: NEW YORK
Date of Departure from U.S.: 12 MAY 2026
Address where you will stay in the U.S.: 133 GREENWICH ST
City, State, Postal/Zip Code: NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10006

I have no idea why they put New York. Are the listed Specific travel plans "set in stone" or does the officer know this is a guess/approximation? There is no reason for her to go to NY.

Thanks for any advice.....

Hello

I submitted the I-130 for my spouse's F2A visa in April, with the evidence of bona fide marriage we had at the time.

My spouse then submitted the I-485 adjustment of status in September, with a significant amount of additional evidence of bona fide marriage.

Will that additional evidence submitted in Sep automatically get considered by USCIS for the I130 approval?

If not, what's the best way to add that to the existing I130? Should I print and mail to USCIS with a cover letter explaining this is additional evidence for an existing I130?

Thanks so much
