US Immigration from Albania

Hello, I am filling out the K1 Visa for my soon to be husband, and I am wondering if it is proper to list my mother as the preparer. Technically I am filling out all the forms myself, but I am currently abroad with my fiance due to the coronavirus, and do not have all the evidence materials I need to start filing. However i'm sure you all understand a desire to start the process as soon as possible due to the long wait for final approval.

I was planning on sending my forms to my mom in America and have her collect any evidence materials I am missing, assemble all the papers in order, and mail off the final application from her address. She would also be writing a check for the application because I do not have my checkbook here. We also intend to have her as a joint supporter of our application when we get further down the line in the process.

Because she is going to be handling a lot of my materials for me, even though I am filling out the actual i-129f forms, would it make sense for her to be listed as a preparer? Does anyone foresee any problems with this approach?

Hello!
My husband and I have filed for i-130. My husband is a US citizen and I am on STEM extension right now.
When I first started OPT, I worked for a couple months with a company then switched. I finished working in the company on June 14th and that is what my I-20 shows. However, when I filled the I-130, I wrote down June 16th. I just realized that going over all my documents again and I don't even remember why I did that . Now I am freaking out that this will cause a problem in our application. What should I do in this case?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hey so I know there will be a change to the filings fees for certain forms. As it stands now when filing the i-485 for AOS from a K1 visa on the guide it still says that the cost of the -131 and i765 are free. Is that still the case or does it cost to file the forms now? Can they be send and filled together with the i485? Thanks!

Hey. I saw there was a similar thread for 2017 and 2018 but I couldn't find one for 2019. Would you be interested in following the progress of other New York filers? I thought we could discuss our timelines, interview experiences with the local offices, and keep track of when EADs will start coming in. Anyone interested?

Very true, that is what we had to contend with. Since at the time of my wife's POE, CBP was still filling out paper I-94s longhand. It took CBP over six weeks to manually enter my wife's data into their SAVE computer system. We had multiple times in the queues at the local SSA office. Finally, it did help having the SS-5 app already filled out, it eventually shortened our last visit considerably.

On the SS-5 application, it asks if your legally allowed to work. Can i put yes of arriving on K1 ?
