US Immigration from India

Hello, VJers!

So, I got my 10-year marriage-based GC and entered the US on 09-28-2023. I will be eligible to apply for citizenship on 09-28-2026 under the 3-year rule. I must, however, return to my home country for 10 months, from May 2024 to March 2025. I intend to visit the US for approximately 3 weeks in October 2024, which means I will have been out of the country for less than 5 months. And then go back for another 5 months. Will this circumvent the continuous residence requirements or simply set my application back by another 10 months? Will I have a problem reentering the US the second time?

Hi All,

Gathering. all evidences fro my dad's i-485 application. Is it mandatory to submit medical/ Vaccination record as well?

He is currently in US on visitor visa

Another question - Do we need to submit Passport photos as well?

Hello,

In the form 1-864- Part 6: Income you are using from any other person who was counted in your household size-

- Do I enter my husband's Name, Relationship , Current Income?

- My salary in above the the federal poverty line

- But we both file tax together -

My partner & I wish to get married soon so she can change her status to a green card holder as soon as possible because she is unable to switch jobs on her current H1-B status. I see the K-1 Visa is for engaged partner overseas and CR-1 is for married partner overseas, but I'm confused what Visa Application is apt for engaged/married partner currently on a different visa status residing in the US itself.

That said, what does the timeline look like for K-1/CR-1/Other Visas? Will it be quicker to get engaged and apply or get married and apply? Also, will my partner get an EAD allowing her to be employed independently before her green card arrives?

Apologies for so many questions, I recently got naturalized and this has been something we need in our lives rather urgently. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm U.S. citizen and my husband has his Interview for the CR-1/IR-1 visa in Mumbai India this March. We would like to begin paperwork to bring his children from India to U.S. now also.

The 23 year old was within the 21 years or younger qualification when we began filing for husband visa, so is there an exception then?

Could someone please provide what forms/process we need to do for them since he will obtaining Green Card to U.S. soon?

We did include them on the "children" shown on I-130.

I found this link:

Bringing Children, Sons and Daughters to Live in the United States as Permanent Residents | USCIS

If I understand correctly, we complete I-130 and I-864 (same as we did for my husband) - correct?

Thank you kindly for any help you may offer. We really appreciate it.
