  1. 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.
  2. I had already assumed we would need to send in a significant amount more of evidence proving our marriage is authentic. This is her 2nd time in the US on a j1 visa. We met during her first stay as her internship was where I live in Florida. Tennessee was the closest she could be this stay in her program. We got married in Florida. The plan is to file these documents concurrently and when her j1 internship is completed she will move in with me. Her name is already on my lease.
  3. Does it matter what lockbox I concurrently file to then? Will the process both apps in the same location, or transfer the other? I live in Florida so my i130 goes to Chicago. Since she lives in TN her lockbox is Phoenix. Which one should I concurrently file to?
  4. I'm a petitioner living in Florida and my spouse beneficiary (j1 visa holder) is currently living in Tennessee for a work internship. We are filing both i-130 and i-485. My question is: Are we still allowed to file concurrently? I was planning on sending both applications together; however, the two states have different lockboxes. Do I need to send the i-130 to one lockbox, wait for notice they received the application, then send the i-485 to the other lockbox? Also, I'm planning on putting her current residence on questions 61.a & b regarding where she will apply for adjustment of status. However, by the time this gets approved she might be back home with me. I appreciate the help!
