HELP!! Extension - I130 - AOS
Mike E replied to pinayinFL's topic in Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas
Hi, So, to be clear. I have to do I495 and !-765 and I693 at the same time? Sorry for all the questions. You do I-485, I-131, I-765, I-864, and I-693 at the same time, in one package per parent sent via USPS priority mail to USCIS If you file I-485 without: * I-131, your parents will not be able to leave the U.S. while I-485 is pending. Every week someone posts on this web site or others that they didn't file I-131 because they didn't think they needed it, and now they have a personally emergency that requires travel, and how can they expedite, etc. * I-765, your parents will might have difficulty getting photo ID or a drivers license while I-485 is pending. Also won't be able to work, and will have to wait until they get a green card to get an SSN. This can complicate getting health care insurance. * I-864: I-485 might be denied * I-693: this will delay their I-485 cases if USCIS wants to waive interview -
HELP!! Extension - I130 - AOS

You should have filed I-485 with I-130. File their I-485s (and I-131s, I-765s, I-864s, and I-693s) ASAP and include a copy of the I-130 receipt with each filing. Schedule the medicals today. The I-485 receipts will be evidence that their authorized stay is extended until their I-485 case is decided. Applying for a B visa extension is waste of time, . -
Job opportunity in Europe during AOS
Mike E replied to Michilcha's topic in Working & Traveling During US Immigration
You can stay out of the U.S. until your I-512 (AP document) expires. If I-485 is approved, you should immediately return to the U.S. You can board a flight to U.S. with your I-512. You must inform the CBP officer that you have an approved I-485. Do not expect CBP to let you board without your green card if you are going through pre-clearance in Ireland or Abu Dhabi. Once you have your green card in hand, you can leave the U.S. for up to 180 consecutive days, but you are also expected to spend more days in the U.S. than outside. So you would apply for a re-entry permit from inside the U.S. You cannot apply for a re-entry permit from outside the U.S. Your re-entry permit application might require biometrics. You will need to be in U.S. for that. You can leave the USA for up to 1 year and 364 days (dating from when you apply for a re-entry permit) even if your permit is not approved and issued. In the unlikely event your permit is issued before your stay abroad completes, you should return to the U.S. to get it. -
If you can accept the low probability that fees will eventually be collected for the first I-485, then yes you get send a new packet now. Given this is an I-485 from K-1, you are already on the hook for cost of 3 petitions, so I'd send I-485 now, especially if you near to or past the I-94 authorized stay.

Did you get a status sating "card was produced"? If so, less than 2 weeks. Keep reloading the case status, and eventually (days) you will get a USPS tracking code. Now is the time for you to: download the lawfully app and add your I-90 case to it. Make sure notifications are on and check each day in the morning as I find lots of stuff happens over night. setup USPS Informed Delivery It does seem that the longer a gc is expired the higher priority USCIS put on the case, if it is new

Some ISOs would RFE you for his a certificate of citizenship, and those take 2 years to get. You both owe his parents big thank you for having the consideration to the right thing for him. -

https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=379954 (which is your timeline) says: Marriage (if applicable): 2019 11 11 Visa Received : 2021-01-19 The latest you could have entered the U.S. is 2021-07-19 (assuming a medical the day of the interview). If 2019-11-11 is the correct date of marriage, then if you entered the U.S. on 2021-07-19 or earlier, you were married just 616 days (or less) which is less than 2 years. So you need to file I-751. If 2018-11-11 if the correct date of marriage, then if you entered the U.S. on 2021-01-19 or later, , you were married 800 days (or more), which is more than 800 days. So you do not need to file I-751. It all comes down to when you were married. -
No Notice & Worried [split topic]
Mike E replied to Anjiee-d's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
I’ve signed up for text messaging for all petitions since 2018 and have never received one. It appears text messaging is only granted to select people. Do you have a lawfully account set up? -

PENDING AOS
Mike E replied to Promise.nice's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
The marriage ended before (edit shortly after, thanks @Rocio0010) the gc was issued. Which means divorce was filed before the gc was issued. The first question USCIS will ask is when was divorced filed? And second was it before or after I-485 was filed? Fortunately, adjustment from K-1 has a court ordered loophole that Congress inadvertently created. Which is that the law that lets a K-1 visa holder adjust status even if the holder divorces before getting the green card or even before filing I-485. The case is CHOIN VS. MUKASEY . Your concern should be whether the ISO adjudicating your case is up to speed. The sole requirement is that the couple marry within 90 days of entering the USA. Given @Timona’s observation I will also observe that material misrepresentation is a life time ban. -

Mike E replied to AnotherGC's topic in Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)
Yes I read your question. The inference you can take from my comment is that AP is never done until you enter the U.S. on the visa. -

The case isn’t done until the visa is issued, in hand, and the visa holder has entered the U.S. with the visa. State has even been known to recall an issued visa. -
Form I 751
Mike E replied to Patti br's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
The oldest one definitely doesn’t need to be listed. My wife’s adult step children (my biological children) were not listed, are natural born US citizens and we were approved. (We did list them on her N-400.h There have been cases on visa journey when step children were listed and USCIS sent an RFE for their biometric fees. Based on the above and my understanding of the law and policy, I would not list them. -
Visitor visa for Brazilian mom to meet her grandchild

Because of this reason, her visa has an elevated probability of being denied. If not denied, she has an elevated probability of being denied entry. -
So CPSC is now saying there will be no ban, for now. The GOP dominated House should send a bill to the senate that 1. codifies CPSC regulations on gas stoves as of December 31, 2022 into law 2. Prohibits CPSC from drafting any more regulations on gas stoves 3. Denies federal funds to states and municipalities that prohibit the sales, installation or manufacture of gas stoves on private property. 4. Denies federal funds to states and municipalities that prohibit the transportation of gas stoves on public or private roads, water ways, and by air transport. In addition the House should put the following constitutional amendment up for vote: “The right of the people to keep and bear stoves fueled by a combustible gas by shall not be infringed.” Any Democrat who votes against the above will be on record as a gas stove grabber

If he has a naturalization certificate provide that instead of passport. It is unusual for a person under the age of 18 to get a naturalization certificate. Do you perhaps mean a certificate of citizenship? -

One per quarter is fine. Then don’t get it notarized. Write up a simple statement for him to sign and date that says you’ve been renting month to month with no formal lease agreement since yyyy-mm-dd. Formal lease agreements aren’t notarized either IME. Just his proof of U.S. citizenship and the airline itineraries showing both names When was his passport issued? Doesn’t he have a U.S. birth certificate? We did not. Interview is happening this month. I am not expecting an RFE. Joint credit card accounts are unicorns.
