Hello folks,

In general how long does it take for a green card holder to file for adult son living outside of the US?

Thanks any info would be greatly appreciated

Hi,

For my I-485, we're submitting my joint sponsor's birth certificate as proof of their citizenship. The issue is the last-name on the certificate doesn't match their current one due to marriage, and I wanted to get some thoughts on if their marriage certificates were sufficient to demonstrate they're the same person?

They've been married twice and both times have taken their spouse's last name (even keeping it after their first divorce until second marriage) so I was thinking of providing:

- Their birth certificate (with birth name of course)

- Their first marriage certificate (showing their birth name marrying someone with the last name that they'll have on their second marriage certificate)

- Their second marriage certificate (showing them with their former spouses last name marrying someone with the last name that they have now)

Do you think I also need to provide any sort of actual name change documentation, or divorce decree from their first marriage, or would these two marriage certificates suffice?

Thanks

(P.S I know I'm probably over-thinking this, but this is in a response to an RFE as I didn't provide their proof of citizenship initially so I want to be absolutely certain)

Hi everyone, I was just wondering what should I answer in Form I-485 Part 2

2. Are you applying for adjustment based on the

Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) section 245(i)? YES or NO?

and what does it mean by Supplement A? Does it mean I need to file Supplement A too?

Please how can I edit just one line under background and declaration section of form DS260?. Form completed but the entire document submission by the applicant is not not done yet.

My mom is a green card holder and had applied for I-131, she had to travel overseas due to death in the family. She recently came back to the US after 10 months without any issues at entry.

We just received an RFE related to the I-131 application saying the following

==========================

Please check the appropriate box regarding if there is a new G-28. Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative, additional fees, additional forms etc.

Yes there is:

A New G-28

Additional Forms

Additional Fees

Other:

=========================

We are very confused since we are not using any sort of lawyer and did not have a G-28. I am not sure what to select in the above options and how to respond to this RFE. Any help is greatly appreciated
