My spouse is currently in the United States on a J1 visa. We got married in the United States while she was on her J1. Her J1 does not have a 2-year home residency requirement. We are planning on concurrently filing i130 and i485 to adjust her status.

Filing the i485 allows her to stay in the United States while it's processing, but does it allow her to work once her J1 expires? Or does she need to apply for i765 as well?

Thanks for the time.

Hi everyone,

I recently moved in with my partner and their parents, and I have a question about evidence of cohabitation. We received a lease where I'm listed as an occupant, but my partner's mom is the official tenant. The signature section is also for the "resident," which is my partner's mom.

Would this lease still be considered strong evidence of cohabitation? Or is it better to ask for a new lease with both my partner and me listed as tenants? Should I sign this current lease even though it only lists my partner's mom as the tenant?

I'd appreciate any advice! Thank you!

Hi everyone. Does anyone know anything about Djibouti interviews. My friend has an appointment coming up in December and would like to know if they are requesting the people who have interviews confirm that they are coming to the interview. As far as i know you just attend the interview with your appointment letter and confirmation letter and other civil docs. Your help is truly appreciated.

Hello! I am the beneficiary of a I130 that was approved on 2019, my priority date is from 2018 and a year ago I came to the USA under the family reunification parole for Colombians. Still not able to apply for AOS. Any one else here with the same situation?

hello guys- i have one question ..

Actually i filed i-130 for my wife last year ...

so the thing is on my wife's passport its just given name - Manxx Kaxx . and no surname --- its blank ... so when i filed i-130 i putt Manxx as first name and Kaxx as last name on i-130... same thing i did on ds-260... first and last name...

so the thing i want to ask is it big issue ... if i remain everything same.. she can travel to us with that.. i dont care about fnu on visa or something.. is she got any issue with biometrics with that name ...
