Nothing has been updated in the portal but my wife received her letter of approval for her EAD today!! Beyond excited. priority date 2/22/2023.

My wife is at hers right now!

I have a USCIS account from filing the i130. We are now filing for AOS. Can we add all those petitions to my account or should/will my wife have her own account where she will add with the rest of the aos filings?

130 was submitted 6 months ago. We didn’t then know there was an issue .

Thanks! Nope want to stick with the 2 N version if possible.

Thank you!

We will definitely work on fixing it once we are sure which needs to be fixed.

On BC is Jenifer on Passport it’s Jennifer.

She believes her small one. Which we just located and it too has one N. Interesting to have a passport differ from BC spelling.

She will try but I feel this is less a BC issue than the fact they issued her a passport with her name spelled differently than her BC. Which is just odd to me as here I had to submit my BC to get my US passport. We will work on figuring this out.

Yes from the official site.

Nope they don’t typically do that at Canadian/US landborders. At least never the two we’ve used. I have no stamps she has no stamps except the one from last year when she flew in. Her last i94 was from her visit in August 2021. Her travel record shows her crossing the land boarder for this trip and I did print that too.

How does one get a i94 when they were not issued it at a land border?

She did not change her name with the marriage. I did. This is not that. This is her passport spells her name with two N yet her birth cert it has one N. This is something we were unaware of until her BC arrived from canada last week. She doesn’t have an i94 when I look it up as she came across a land border.

Yep. The only time my car was ‘searched’ was coming back in here lol Twice. I just giggle.

that’s how it went for me and my wife. I will say I always got more questions coming back into the US than entering Canada. My wife had no issues Coming here once after the 130 but the second time she was brought into secondary for 45 mins ( quiet land crossing in NB) and the agent made told her every entry now would be harder. They did allow her in though.

Not sure if this is the right forum but here goes. filed my wife’s i130 in August while living apart. Her name is Jennifer on it is spelled as such On her passport and drivers lic ( Canada). We just got her long form BC from Nova Scotia for use in filing her Adjustment of Status ( hard left turn from original plan but here we are)… anyways, so on her birth certificate her first name is spelled Jenifer. One N. Given she hasn’t seen this since she was a teenager( so nearly 30 years ago) we had no idea there was a discrepancy between her BC and her passport and ID. so now we are filing out the papers for her aos and of course this discrepancy is the worry in our minds. When filing the new papers we are thinking we will of course spell it as written on her BC and hope the i130 difference isn’t a big deal… should we include a note on why there’s a discrepancy?

Response is “visiting my spouse or getting married ”. I married my wife in Canada and my response when I crossed was I’m getting married. No issues. My wife is Canadian and I crossed 7 times. Each time that was my response. I never had an issue. She did however have issues last time she came here because of the i130 being in process.

So 3 are age or majority and I do not claim them. 1 is under and I do. thus by this my household is 3?

Thank you! That’s what I thought but as I stated I’ve read some different info and just don’t want to mess this part up.

Getting reading to file our paperwork for adjustment. For the Affidavit of support I’m trying to determine for sure which of my kids count as dependents.first off NONE of them live with me. Oldest is 28, lives in his own, I know he doesn’t. Second will be 21 in one month, lives with his father has a full time job and provides for more than 50% of his own expenses. Third is 19 also lives with her father, works full time and provides for more than 50% of her own expenses. Youngest is 17, lives with his father but I claim him on taxes per our divorce agreement. I’ve been told and read conflicting info. Some stating only the 17 year old needs to be claimed for the AOS others saying all 3 youngest. my W2 is 47k for 2022 but the previous years I was under(2021) or filing with my ex ( roughly 78k combined for 2020 and 2019). just hoping to get some clarification.

Following this as I’m in MA and we are starting AOS soon.
