have visa now what??

[JeniLovesMarwan 0]

Hi Im not sure if I am posting this in the right forum or not but I will give it a try. My husband received his visa and in the mean time he is looking for a plane ticket here. We are both very confused and nervous as to what are the next steps for when he is here in the US. He is my husband so I am assuming he has an immgrant visa and will he still need to apply for adjustment of status and will he also be able to work here in the US? Also when we first began this process of getting his visa and filling out the paperwork for his sponsor (my father is his sponsor and we filed the I-864A I believe it was stating that my husband and I would be living in my father's home but however that has changed and my husband and I will have our own home when he comes here so will that make a difference? because when we did the paperwork we put my fathers address as the place we would be living but now I have my own home. Also I know my husband cannot be on any public assistance while here that is the reason for the sponsor but what if I am on some public assistance is that ok for me to be on the public assistance still or will I lose that because of my husband being here? Can someone please let me know what is the next steps we need to when he gets here please thank you

just curious - if you’re on public assistance why would you get out and get your own home knowing your husband is arriving soon and knowing he probably will not work immediately? I would imagine that most people would have their ducks in order before considering bringing a spouse.

I'm not too sure about you losing any public assistance that you are on. I believe you can put a change of address at the POE. If I am wrong, I am sure someone will correct me. I know that you guys went the DCF route, did he get a CR1/IR1 visa? If so, then he is good for 2 years if it is a CR1, and also he will beable to work.

I hope you will find the answers you are searching for! Good luck Jeni and Congrats again!

Its a complicated situation right now as most of my family are against my husband even coming here but my husband and I just had a baby and that is the reason in trying to get my husband here as soon as possible so he can be with his son.

Thank you. So my husband would do a change of address at the point of entry at the US airport? Or is there a form that we fill out once he is here in my home. I thought there was some kind of change of address form we needed to fill out, but Im not sure. Yes he did get a CR1 visa so that is good that he is ok for 2 years before we need to do anything else. Thank you so much

You'll need to do an address change at the POE for your husband and you will also need to do an address change for your I864. I know you're father was the co-sponsor but I believe you'll still need to do one as well.

I have quite a few family members and friends who aren't the most supportive about my marriage and husband coming from another country either. I hope that everything works out for you and your husband and your new son!

As for the change of address, try calling the USCIS or checking on their website and see what they say about doing a change of address. You want to make sure that the green card goes to the correct address!!

Congratulations on your visa and on your new baby.

I hope things get better with your family soon.

From what I understand, he can change the address at POE.It won't be long before y'all will be removing conditions.

I don't know about the public assistance, but I can't imagine that it would be a problem for your son. Your husband will be able to work with his greencard, so that should be some help to you.

Best of luck to you and your family!

On the USCIS website there are forms you can fill out for the petitioner and beneficiary to notify the government about a change of address, my husband and I just did these because we just moved. One of them is an online form the other is one you print and fill out and mail in.

Congratulations on your husbands arrival.

Depending on your husband's age he will need to register for selective service - men 18 through 26 are required to register.

Change of address at POE even though they ask for the address where you will be staying during pre-boarding checks of the flight so he may want to give the new address there as well.

Congratulations on the baby and good luck with the rest of your journey!

Hi,

First of all, congrats on your visa and your hubby getting here soon!

Second, to answer your question about public assistance, no, you will not lose benefits. However, you won't be able to include him in the application or renewal for those benefits either. So, once he starts working, you'll let your case worker know and they will include his income with your own, but they will not count him as a family member. For instance, in our family there is me, my hubby and our two daughters...they would include both adult's income, but only consider us a 3 member family. So...basically after he starts working, you may not get benefits anymore. Just something to think about and maybe plan ahead for. Hope that helps with your question.

Congrats on the new son too!

Hello can you tell me what is selective service and where will he register for that?
