I am not sure if this is correct forum to post on. I just registered today and am feeling a little overwhelmed at this process. My husband (Canadian)came to US (2006) on a work visa. He went home in 12/2007 and then returned 02/2008 as a visitor. At that time he sis not plan to stay in US. He ended up getting a job in 10/2008 and we met. We have been living together since 10/2009. We married in 10/2012. We can file concurrently and he is eligible for an immediate visa number. I have alot of questions! What is the timeline for this? Do we send in the I-130/I-485 and then wait for directions? Is there any other forms that need to be sent in with these ones?

#9(him): SSN#. He has a card that is stamped "Valid for Work only". Can we use that number? He has been using it for work here.

#14: He or she arrived as: Visitor

i-94#: blank (no number)

Date of arrival:02/28/2008

Expiration Date: Unknown

I am not sure what to put for the expiration date. Should I put expired, none or unknown? Do we need to file of a lost I-94 or it is common that airlines do not have passengers fill them out anymore? I was told that the I-94 is not always required.

#19: Address abroad: None (He has lived in US for 6 years)

#21: Last address together. Would that be our current address our the last address we had together?

Thank you very much in advance. I am sorry if my questions are basic. I am just trying to do everything right And I am sure I will have more on the I-485.

I have a question, are you a US citizen? I ask because you posted this in the "Bringing Family Members of Permenant Residents To America"

So let's assume you are a US citizen.

See the guide I posted above

Use the SSN he has been using for work but why is he working if he entered as a visitor?

good luck
