What do you mean you are filing both the I-130 and Adjustment of Status? That sounds strange

[bassagitator 1]

Also I want to apply for a I-131. But I don't have a date that I am wanting to leave the states. I only want it in case there is an emergency that I need to go back for. So what date do I put on it? Can I simply Put "UNKNOWN" will that be acceptable. Also I don't have a passprt as of yet, so I cannot include copies of it, is this going to be ok? And what do I put for "explanation of Elgibility"? Can someone shed some ideas on the above please?

This is all that I am going to be sending for my I-131

Why would you apply for a refugee/reentry permit?

To Whom It May Concern:

I would like an I-131 in case of a family emergency which would cause me to have to travel back to my home country (Canada). I would also like it to go and visit my family members in Canada.

Perhaps you're right.

You want to include a certified copy of a "Marriage Certificate", not just a license. In some states both are on the same page but the license is issued in advance of the marriage. You want to document the marriage, not just the license to marry.

I have read the guides! Hence the reason I am asking these questions.

Hi there.

I filed both at the same time as well and am a canadian citizen.

Yes that all looks good.

I have a suggestion that you make coversheets for each application, then put them in 2 envelopes inside the main envelope.

If you have any additional questions you can PM me....

There are actually a lot of people on VJ that have done this Filed both I-130/I485 at the same time.

It's mostly for people who have gotten married here that were here on anything but a Fiancee visa. From what I understand anyway.

Suggesting a private conversation to have questions answered is inappropriate.

- Payment in the amount of $355.00

- I-130 Petition for Alien Relative

- G-325A and passport style photo (Me)

- G-325A and passport style photo (Wife)

- Copy of Birth certificate (ME) wouldn't hurt to include a copy of your passport

- Copy of Birth Certificate (Wife) ditto... a copy of your wife's passport

- A Copy of Divorce Decree (Me)

- Certified Copy of Marriage License between me and wife. I assume you mean the marriage certificate, not license

- Affidavit from Friend

- Affidavit from Daughter

- Voided Check Proof of Bonifide Marriage

- Copy of Bank Statement joint account, I assume

If you have them, also include joint leases, joint tax returns, joint insurance and such

I-485

- Payment in the amount of $1010.00

- I-485 Adjustment of Status

- Copy of Birth Certificate (for wife)

- Copy of Marriage License between Me and spouse

- A Copy of Divorce Decree (Mine, since I was previously married) not sure if this is needed here, as this is your wife's application, but I could be wrong, confirm with I-485 instructions

- 2 passport photos for Wife for 325A

- G-325A (For wife)

- I-683 Medical Exam in SEALED envelope for For wife also including I-693a vaccination supplement

- I-864 Affidavit of support from Me

- Copies of Tax returns for 2007 and 2006 (for I-864) if you're adding 2006 tax return, might as well include 2005, since they ask either for 1 year o3 3 years of returns

- W2’S for 2006, 2007 tax returns. (for I-864)

- I-765 Application to accept work

- 2 Passport photos of wife for I-765 application

need to add copy of wife's passport and evidence of admission into US. Since she's Canadian, I assume she entered on the VWP, but there still should be some kind of evidence in her passport (i.e. stamp) showing that she has been lawfully admitted/inspected upon her last entry.

Best of luck.

Anyone else able to answer this???

I'm a little unclear who's writing here: the Canadian wife or the USC husband? Who does not have a passport yet? If it's the Canadian wife, then how did you enter the US? If it's the USC husband, then including a copy of your birth certificate should be enough.

I assume that you are aware that, regardless of whether you have an AP or not, if you leave the US after overstaying, this will trigger a ban on re-entry, depending on how long the overstay. If you overstayed, then stay put here until the application is adjudicated.

Also I want to apply for a I-131. But I don't have a date that I am wanting to leave the states. I only want it in case there is an emergency that I need to go back for. So what date do I put on it? Can I simply Put "UNKNOWN" will that be acceptable. Just put an approximate dateAlso I don't have a passprt as of yet, so I cannot include copies of it, is this going to be ok? And what do I put for "explanation of Elgibility"? Can someone shed some ideas on the above please?

Explanation for I-131 looks good. Weigh your choices though as to whether to use the AP or not.
