Hello- My brother’s stepmother filed a I-130 and I-485 on his behalf. She received an RFE in December asking for the affidavit of support form and supporting documents. She responded to the RFE, but she made an error by filling out an expired I-864. Needless to say he got a denial. We want to know what the best option is for this case. Should we file a motion to reconsider? Can we just file a new petition? I have attached pictures of the denial letter. Please help 🙏🏽

Hello, We're getting ready to submit our AOS paperwork however even after thoroughly reading the instruction pages, we still wanted to double check/clarify a few things. Any input on any of the questions would be highly appreciated! On the I-485 AOS form, I just want to confirm that the K1 visa IS subject to the public charge ground of inadmissibility under INA section 212(a)(4) - (pt. 8 #61). I believe I choose yes which then brings me to #62. #62 - I am using my brother as a joint sponsor for my wife's petition since I don't have an income however my brother and I don't live together - would he still be considered in our household? #63 - Do I include his full income in our annual household income? #64 - Should we share my wife's savings account information as an asset (do we provide bank statement as proof?) #65 - would car insurance be considered a liability? We're living rent free with my cousin for now so we're unsure whether to include any liabilities On form I-864 Affidavit of Support, (pt. 7 #6- use of assets to supplement income) Should I add my wife's checking/savings info when it asks "Assets of the principle sponsored immigrant?" For reference, my brother as a joint sponsor will be filling out his own I-864 so he wouldn't need to fill this part out being that he exceeds the federal poverty guideline, however I will add my minimal assets, but I'm wondering if I should add my wife's savings account to both our I-864 forms. I don't believe I need the I-765 worksheet for K1 family visa however I wanted to verify that as well. Thank you in advance and good luck everyone!!!

Happy Summer 2023! Hoping to hear what other people’s experience doing the waiver I601 for personal belief not doing the medical examination specifically Covid vaccine during Adjustment of Status here in the US. My sister came here on a J1 visa in March 2019 and had to extend as B2 when the pandemic first hit in March 2020. Took so long to process her B2 so she had lots of time spent with family and friends in the country while waiting and apparently met her now husband a US Citizen. They have been together for almost 2yrs now and just gotten married last December 2022. Couple months later filed their I-130, I485, I-765, etc. Before those even got filed, they had her husband’s tax returns amended due to some errors in the past so that took even longer process. She was supposed to mail I-485, I-131,I-765 by March 2023 so the I-693 Medical Examination signed by a civil surgeon was still temporarily waived then but tornado hit their town on the day she was to mail the documents and got mailed instead early April. Question is, she got an RFE letter asking for the I-693 medical. Would she still need to submit that but just do the physical exam or can she go ahead and file for the I-601 waiver? They are opposed to the vaccines since her husband’s side has a history of autism for taking those vaccines. Appreciate all of your inputs.

Hello, I recently submitted AoS packages for my parents, separate filings for Mom and Dad. Today, I received an I-797C NoA for Parent B that says the I-485 and any supporting documents were returned to me because one or more of the following field(s) were not completed: Address. The weird thing is, I already have case numbers and did not get a rejection notice for Parent A. The forms filled are identical in terms of shared information such as addresses, etc. for my parents since they've lived in the same places at the same time so I am a little lost and confused as to what my next step should be to get Parent B's case filed. After scouring the forum a little bit more, I checked all the editions of the forms and what their expiry dates are, and they're all current and what is found on the USCIS website. For I-485, the form edition is 12/23/22 and expires on 10/31/2025. USCIS did not cash the cheques and returned all the copies of the documents I had provided. There is an email address listed for the lockbox in the rejection notice that was sent. I'm wondering if I should send an email asking for more information on what needs to be rectified for the not completed "address" issue or print out a new I-485, sign it, and resend everything. USCIS has printed on the bottom of the forms and the supporting documents. Do I just send the same supporting documents or should I print fresh copies so it doesn't have the markings? One thing I am thinking of changing is on Part 3, Address history, 5a onwards. includes my parents home address outside the US where they've for 40+ years but I am thinking if I should change this to my address in the US where they're currently living and move their home address to 6a. onwards. But then again, Parent A's application is filed and processing with their home address outside the US listed in part 5a so I don't know if this would help or fix anything. Thank you for your suggestions!

Hello everyone. I’m on here to ask for advice from people who have experience with the adjustment of status while in the US. I am Spanish and my wife is from the US. We met online two years ago and met over a year ago in person and have been visiting each other since, meeting each other’s family and friends. We got engaged in new years 2022 and decided to get married in Spain to file for the CR1 visa. we found out we were expecting a baby in early February and decided to get married sooner in Spain to start the visa process. However because of work and Spanish bureaucracy we decided it was easier to get married in the US with intent to going back together to Spain. once we were in the US and married, we had several medical visits about the baby and it was taking a huge toll on both on us the massive immigration challenge we had ahead and did not want to raise the child in two countries while waiting for the visa. She suggested we explore the AoS route but I’m worried the government might think we were committing visa fraud. In our defense we had already paid for the health insurance for her in Spain and were looking at apartments to rent together there. Is our case viable? Are we doing anything wrong? thank you in advance for your help.
