Hello!

Me and my wife are filling out her i485 application and had a question about Part 1, Question 12: Providing info from most recent i94, specifically the immigration status (class of admission).

She came here originally as an Au Pair on a J1 visa then adjusted status J1 -> B1 -> F1. On the https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/ website her most recent i94 shows her J1 status, but on her F1 approval notice it shows her new i94 with the updated F1 status.

My question:

On the i485 Question 12: Immigration status from i94: do we enter F1 as the class of admission or J1 as the class of admission (since that is the i94 listed on the cbp.gov website)?

Then on Question 14: Current Status (if it has changed): Here we enter F1

Thank you!

Good day VJ,

I may have ideas but im not confident without asking your guide and tips.

I married a US Citizen in 2019. I gave her a purported customary divorce decree that she later investigated as being fake. I naturalized in 2024 after 3 year rule of being married to a us citizen. The us citizen spouse filed for annulment and was granted on bigamy. Before the annulment trial, I went back to my home country and divorced my first wife to have it in record. Can I still apply for my children abroad to come to US? The children abroad are from my first wife.

hi, Trying to find how long form I-130 approval is taking now for F3 married adult child. Not the complete time until visa, just approval times now for the Form I-130 itself, . Finding it difficult to find up to date info on this, seeing anywhere from 14 months to 5 years. USCIS site is confusing to navigate.

Hi all

my interview is soon and while filling out the Ds160 I realised my fiance put the completely wrong job title on the approved i29f. I have put the correct job title on ds160. My question is, do I need to address this with the consulate? Will this cause any issues for us?
