US Immigration from Brazil

i actually have a question relating to name change after marriage certificate is issue. when do i talk to the U.S to update them with my name change if i reside outside the country? do i wait until my I-130 process is over and when i get back or before that?

Hi I have a question I've been unemployed but im currently a student about to graduate college. Can I get a job while I'm waiting for our process or do I have to wait for my approval of my husband's I-130? (He's the beneficiary) and also is it okay for the beneficiary to switch jobs? Or does his employment not matter just mine?

Hello there i need some help with the online it been a couple of months and havent heard anything from them. Im confused if im supposed to wait or doing anything else. im doing the I-130 filing for my spouse we currently live outside of the country together but im a citizen. I filed the I-130 and recieved I-797C form im confused on if i wait for them to send me the next step or if im supposed already have send them the I-485. Please help! and if there are any other documents that im supposed to file please let me know and thanks for all your help!

Hi -

I included the following in the ROC package to USCIS:

1. Complete and signed i-751 form

2. Signed and notarized affidavit from my Aunt stating our family has been living in her house (we do not have to pay rent and there is no signed contract)

3. Signed and notarized affidavits from my mom, dad, and younger brother attesting to know us, our marriage, and that it is real.

4. All bank statements from all 3 of our joint bank accounts.

5. Photocopy of wife's current green card, front and back sides.

6. Photocopy of our son's birth certificate, front and back sides.

7. Joint tax returns with both our names for 2020 and 2021

8. I THINK I included proof of 2022 and 2023 Health Insurance plans with both our names as well as our son's name, but I may have forgotten to include it as well because my wife found the copies at home after I sent the package :/

Anyway....I didn't include any photos and we don't have any joint mortgages, car loans, utility bill payments with both our names, and as stated I may have forgotten to include proof of our health insurance.

We received the NOA1 and the check to DHS has been cashed. Is a lack of health insurance proof, photos, or those other financial things going to be a big hindrance???

Hi -

My wife's ROC package has been delivered to the Carol Streams, IL USCIS dropbox since this past Friday around 6 am, and no one has come to pick it up.

There were a ton of papers so I had to use a box to send it all.

Is it normal to take this long for them to pick up a package or is something wrong? Pretty sure this was the right place to send it because we live in Ohio.

Thank you!
