US Immigration from Philippines

I have a few questions - Please forgive me if these are redundant, I have searched the forums and have not found solid answers for these questions. Our 90 day date for Jaycel's K-1 Visa is November 27, 2024. We are getting married on October 25, 2024 and plan to submit out AOS packet (I-485, I-864 & I-765) on November 18, 2024. We believe that this will allow us time to get certified copies of our marriage certificate, gather appropriate evidence of our marriage and co-habitation, co-mingling of finances, etc. My questions are as follows...

1. I have read that filing the AOS package before expiry of her K-1 Visa is highly recommended so that she is not out of status after the visa's expiration. Does the NOA-1 from the I-485 provide this status? Not sure how that works. If we file on the 18th of November, is that far enough in advance of her visa expiration on the 27th of November? I just do not want to put her in any jeopardy.

2. Since she is coming in on a K-1 and filing her I-485 within a year of her immigrant medical exam (That was done in Manila on August 6th & 7th) she is exempt from having to do another one. I have read that all she has to do is include her DS-3025 in the I-485 packet with a cover letter explaining she had her immigrant medical within one year and voluntarily complied with all vaccine requirements as indicated in the attached DS-3025. I have also read that she should make an appointment with a Civil Surgeon to have him fill out the vaccine portion of the I-693 based on the DS-3025 and include the sealed I-693 with the I-485. Which one is correct?

Thank you all in advance for your time providing any advice, answers, direction that you can!

Hello all,

Recently had my fiancee K1 visa approved and she will be coming here to the USA next month. I just had some questions on the process and filing of all related paperwork. What forms should I file and in what order so that she is able to legal stay and would be able to work as soon as she is legally allowed to? I am aware of the forms I-130 and I-485 but I wanted to make sure I am correctly filling them within the correct time frames and in the proper order. Also how are the fees for filing? Appreciate all advice and help from everyone. Thank you,

Matt

Hello everyone,

I have a few questions regarding the Adjustment of Status application and Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support):

1. Household Size: My husband lives with me and his twin sister, but they do not share finances. He supports only me, his wife. For the Adjustment of Status application, should I list the household size as just the two of us, or do we need to include his twin sister even though they do not share finances?

2. Income Discrepancy: My husband is the petitioner and currently has a stable job that meets the 125% poverty guideline for a two-person household. However, his income for the most recent and second most recent tax years meets the 125% threshold, but his income for the third most recent tax year is slightly below the requirement by a few thousand dollars. Will this discrepancy be an issue when filing Form I-864? Would we need a joint sponsor, or is his current and recent financial situation sufficient? Also, can we supplement the income in Part 7 of Form I-864 by including assets like savings and checking accounts?

3. Social Security Number: I plan to request an SSN as part of my Adjustment of Status application. How can I ensure that my Social Security card reflects my husband's last name, or is this change processed automatically?

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Hi guys,

As the above title states, she is here! My wife came here on the K1 fianc visa. She arrived on June 10, and we got married on July 31! What do we do next? She does not have a social security number.

Thanks

Hello :). I'm a Filipino spouse who recently got married and we're hoping to get some guidance regarding a portion of Form I-485.

On the public charge question on item number 61, I answered "Yes," but now I'm required to state more information, specifically assets and liabilities. We are seeing to provide the values of my husband's assets on Form I-485 and not Form I-864, but we are wondering:

- Will refusing to declare assets on Form I-864 after providing the values on Form I-485 be a problem or cause an RFE in some magical way?

- Will we be required to provide additional evidence of my husband's assets (mainly savings) even though it's not on Form I-864?

- Will we need to provide additional evidence for providing the values of the household liabilities as well?

Appreciate the help. We're hoping to file in about a week. Thanks!
