I am a US citizen, and my wife and I (she is an F1 visa holder) sent our concurrently filed forms to USCIS last week, and today I got 4 texts that they were all received (130, 485, 765, and 131). Each text has a receipt number (IOE followed by numbers). I have a USCIS online account but my wife does not have an online account at all. Side note: we filled in N/A for USCIS account number in the paperwork as we had not filed anything before (so we had no account number). Now that I got the texts that the forms were receieved, what do I do? Here are the initia loptions I thought out. 1.) Sign into my USCIS account and add all 4 to my account 2.) Sign into my USCIS account and add just the 130, and she creates a new account and adds the other forms 3.) My wife and I both create new accounts and then I add 130 to mine and she adds the rest to hers Thanks for the help!

Among other imporant documents and proof, my wife (F-1 visa, doing AOS for her) and I want to submit screenshots of phone records. We have been together 2 years and have video call "proof" that also shows the duration of each call by the day. For those that submitted phone call as part of evidence, how many did you submit? As in, screenshots of every single day's call from when you met, just the last 6 months, a few days per month from when you met, etc. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I am filling out my wife's paperwork and had a question about what to put for "other names used". She uses her legal first name for all her paperwork and legal stuff, but because it's hard to pronounce, she has a more American nickname that she uses socially, as in, with me, friends, family, acquantainces, etc., but this is NOT listed on any legal paperwork. Although it says to list "nicknames" under "Other names used" on various forms like the I-130, I saw some posts where people said they listed these types of non-legal nicknames and got hit with RFE's to show official name change proof related to the nickname. In this case, should we just list her legal name and forget the nicknames, OR list the nickname under "Other Names Used" and then a note at the end saying it's a non-legal nickname she uses socially with no legal documenation showing this nickname? Thanks!

Hi everyone! I am filling out my wife's AOS paperwork (I am a U.S. citizen, she is an F-1 visa student here in the U.S.) and had a question about what to put for "other names used".

I would like to avoid that type of RFE, so in this case, should we just list her legal names and forget the nicknames, OR list the nickname under "Other Names Used" and then a note at the end saying it's a non-legal nickname she uses socially and there is no legal documenation showing this nickname?

Adjustment of status from her current visa. I think I might have already replied to your message, sorry! I'm new to this website.

Adjustment of status from her current visa. She will not move back to her home country during this process.

Hi everyone! I am a US citizen filing for a green card for my spouse (very recently married), who is already here in USA on a F-1 student visa. As I filled out this form, I had some lingering questions about the form. I am also a student but I have a job with enough salary to sponsor her myself. The questions are below. Thanks in advance! 1.) For Part 4 (on page 5), information about the beneficiary, we will be living apart until she graduates, which will happen after we finish filing paper work. For "provide the address in the United States where the beneficiary intends to live", should I list my address (where she will move after graduation), or should I put "SAME" since I listed her current USA address in the previous boxes (11a-h)? 2.) For part 4 (on page 7), she arrived in the USA on an F-1 student visa a few years ago, but we took an international vacation a few months ago. She also visited U.S. on vacations years ago before she entered as an F-1 student. For 46.c, "date of arrival", is that when she entered the USA on her current F-1 visa, or the last time she re-entered USA (after our recent international vacation)? 3.) For part 4 (on page 8), we never lived together yet, so for 59.a, I put "Never lived together". Should 59 b-h (address if we live together) be blank or N/A? 4.) Her native language does not use Roman letters, so she will handwrite 57.a-f on page 8. If there is an N/A (like if her address had no apartment number), should N/A be written in English or in her native language (or left blank)? 5.) On pages 9-12, I did not use an interpreter or a preparer as I did it myself. Should any boxes related to interpreters and preparers, such as their signature, name, address etc., be left blank or put N/A's in all those related boxes? Part 8 says "if other than the petitioner", which leads me to believe that I do not have to consider myself the "preparer too". Thank you!
