US Immigration from France

Hi, my cousin married an M 1 visa student. I know for him to stay in the us she has to file I 130, I 485 .... He lives in Texas where he is completing his education and she is back home in Michigan finishing her education. What kind of proof does she need to show other than her marriage certificate for him to stay in the US? They both have bank accounts together but will it be possible to file while they are in different states? When she files, which address should she use hers or his? He doesn't work nor does she. His mother lives abroad and supports him for his education and living expenses in the US. She is currently living with her parents because she needs to finish her education in Michigan then move to Texas to be with him. Her father will be his sponsor. She is worried that they will not approve them because he is in Texas and she is in Michigan. Meantime they see each other and talk on the phone as much as they can. Should they start filing right away or wait until she moves in with him?

Hi,

I recently received the notice to appear at the green card interview (it has been under "ready to schedule an interview" for over a year now).

My wife and I have a decent amount of money saved, and I am currently working (EAD) and making more than enough to meet the poverty threshold for the affidavit of support. The thing is, my wife (sponsor) has been out of a job since the end of last year (for personal reasons: online school enrollment and others). So on the first version of the affidavit we provided she was the provider, and she can also provide proof of meeting the threshold basically for all 2020. As for 2021, I am the sole source of income of the household.

Will this be an issue for the interview? Do I need to find a co-sponsor? Or are our bank statements + my pay stubs enough? Or do they only care about the initial affidavit of support?

I am not sure this will even be an issue / looked at but as I am the applicant and she is the sponsor, I am not sure I can be the one used for the source of income. I couldn't find any clear documentation about this online.

Thank you!

Does anyone know the average N400 processing time for the Portland office?

Hello my friends, I need help answering few questions please. I have a cousin who is a US citizen and she married her fiance who has a student visa. Can she apply for I 130 to keep him here in the US with her or will they send him back where he came from so she can apply for him? Can he stay here after he finishes his education and live with her? I do appreciate all the help I can get. Thank you for time.
