I wouldn't. His daughter has a savings account set aside specifically for her education. He's more interested in training of some sort and hopes to save a bit of money from the sale of some of his assets before moving here. As I've stated in prior posts, we're weighing our options and gathering information to find the best way forward.

Perfect! this was what I was wondering, because I've read older posts that indicate it's risky for him to drive without the green card because an officer could consider he is 'out of status' and call ICE to detain him. If he has a license to drive, however, and the receipt notifcation of the I-485, that should be enough, correct?

Wouldn't he receive the I-94 at point of entry when he comes with the K1 visa? Or will it have expired at 90 days and will he recieve an updated one when AOS is approved? We posted at the same time but I think I understand now.

Wouldn't he receive the I-94 at point of entry when he comes with the K1 visa?

Just for clarification... is he not here 'legally' if he comes to the US on a K1 visa and we're married and waiting for AOS or EAD?

We're going ahead with the K1 process at the moment but still weighing all the options. The question my fiance has is: Can he and his daughter enroll in college or certificate/training programs while waiting for the right to work? He doesn't want to "do nothing" while waiting and he'd like to pursue something that can assist him (and his daughter) in finding employment once the I-765 is approved. Would he be permitted to do this? TIA!

Sorry I had meant the I-134, as that is what we're currently filling out.

I just sent it to him with the anticipated 'from' date as 8/15/2025 (earliest guestimate) and the end date as '11/13/2025' since that would be 90 days later and at that point we should have filed for the AOS. Should I take this out and send it again with no end date or that part left blank?

It's my understanding that you only need a letter from an employer if you can't verify employment by other means. If you can provide your W2 and even better (as I understand it) tax transcripts along with that... you should be good. I'm new to this, so I could be wrong, but I believe that is the case.

Sorry for creating multiple posts for my questions but when I combine them things get missed. On this form (I-134) Part 3, Item 12 asks for "Anticipated Length of Stay" ... I'm at a loss here. I have no idea when he's coming... that all depends on when he gets the Visa... most likely either August or September but I can't know the exact date until he has approval. And it asks the 'End Date' of the 'visit' as well... but it's for a marraige Visa. Woulld the end date be 90 days from whenever I put the start date? If he could anticipate to come any time between August up to October, really, depending on if/when K1 is approved... what date should I put here?

I see a WAC 'receipt' number, an A# and a PRS#. I have a USCIS account but I see no other numbers on this account. The I-134 form Part 2, Item 8 asks for this. Is it one of the above numbers? I'm guessing not the A# because that is asked for separately.

Do I include my fiance's daughter on his I-865 or make a separate just for her? I'm not sure how to fill out this considering she will become a dependent as well. Do I include her name on Part 2, Item 15 for his form and send a copy in her file?

Yes, ideally this. However, there is no possible way to take a second job with my school schedule. I'm a poor college student, single mom. I work full time and go to school for an incredibly difficult major. Students primarily fail out at the place I'm going to be in my studies this upcoming Fall. All. The. Time. My college is incredibly competitive. I've fought to keep a 4.0 throughout my prereqs. If I stop school for that then I loose my place in the program and have to start over... which affects my ultimate ability to have financial stability once child support for my 3 minor children runs out. I know... it's a mess. I'm trying to find the right path despite the contingencies. I appreciate the advice though! I may just be begging a family member to co-sponsor very soon.

No I understood that part. My understanding is that both options come with a need for an affidavit of support. Just different forms to the same end. I just don't know/understand when that goes into play for the CR1. My issue is always my own financial stability to cover my household plus his between now and the time I graduate. It's not an issue once I'm a nurse. It is now. I can ask for a family member to joint-ponsor but, it is a big ask and they could simply say no. So my question is: With the CR1... am I still having to prove 125% of financial support *before* he's actually here and working? I'm unsure about the whens... even after looking at USCIS.. it's still confusing and my head is swimming and we have to determine this now. (Because I'm the dummy who was busy studying microbiology instead of studying this process thoroughly enough.) I'm trying to see if the CR1 is going to get him here sooner than my projected 2027 graduation date because he'll be able to work or if we're still going to be eeking by until then. I have 3 minor children, so we're a large household. Or would that not even be an issue because they'll ask for DS-260 (for the CR1) while he's still in France (and so I'm still in the same vicious loophole.) He's required to give his job 3 months notice before leaving. I don't want him doing that if we decide our only option is to wait until I graduate and hope his daughter can come very soon after him or that we'll make it in time... especially since the current administration will likely take steps that effectively increase the length of time for everything. Again, TIA! You're lovely and I truly appreciate the advice.

2027 Thank you, it's my passion. I've been in health care for 9 years now so while some of the younger students have wide eyes about what it is, I have no illusions. Still... this is where i belong. My ultimate goal (partly because I'm an older student and also because I love the ability to inspire the upcoming RNs not just to do the job but to do it well) is to get my ASN RN and work while going for my RN to MSN so that I can also teach clinicals at university level in 5 years. Is there a different option for working while waiting for CR1/IR1 approval or is that just done with and he'd be in France for the duration until approval? I'm confused because this was on the current USCIS website: https://www.uscis.gov/family/bring-spouse-to-live-in-US and the above mentions the K3. If it's not the case, we do what? Apply for the I-130 and I-765 together? And then he can work when he comes after he's approved on the I-130? Is that correct? How and when must I prove support ability? When he applies for AOS after entry? I read on USCIS something that said I'd be filing DS260 while he's still abroad. If that's the case, aren't I still in the same financial boat here? I'd still have to prove 125% before he's actually here contributing to it, wouldn't I? In an unrelated note... I also saw this: https://www.uscis.gov/family/family-of-us-citizens/k-3k-4-nonimmigrant-visas Is this true across the board? She'd be 19 when we marry and 19-20 at time of entry most likely. Does this mean she's simply ineligible to be included on his visa? Is it regardless if it's K1 or CR1? This is all so confusing.
