I just got email from NVC telling me my Fiances approved I-129F was received in Manila. But what I dont understand is on all the paper work I filled out I put her name as (Name A) J. (Name B), on the email and on the I-797 it says (Name A) O (Name C) not (Name B). But where did the O come from?? Will this cause any problems when she goes to Manila for her interview. Im not rich and can not pay for her to fly back and forth to correct these issues.

Bringing parents over

My wife is now a US citizen. She is looking to apply for her parents to come over. They have children, 1 is 36, 1 is 24, 1 is 21, 1 is 18 the last is 16. She would like to apply for her parents and her 16 year old sister at the same time. When the parents get here in 2 - 3 years, have them apply for the others once her parents get a job. I told my wife it may be possible for the 18 year old, but the others would be a wait of 8 to 10 years. Although I have read elsewhere that it's between 3 to 5. What would be a good approximate for this? Thank you.

The marriage suggestions are a bit outdated. The Trump administration announced earlier this month that you must now maintain valid visa status while your I-130 is being processed. If your current visa (e.g. tourist or J-1) expires in the meantime, you will be deportable.

Are you qualified to teach anything? Computer usage / programming perhaps? There are a lot of teachers here on J-1 visas, perhaps you could snag another J-1 somewhere?

Mother-in-law question medical insurance question

My wife came here on a K-1 in 2009, thank you all for the emotional support. She is a U.S. citizen now, we are thinking of bringing her Mom, a Filipina here as well. How do most people take care of Medical Insurance?

I work at a company with great insurance, and I have VA due to a disability, but I would like to retire in a few years, and the insurance issue really has me worried. I have been without medical insurance many times, but that was long before Obama care, which really stinks in comparison to most other forms of insurance. Thankfully during that period I didn't have any of the long term (diabetes, with BP issues) that I have now. If I am on Medicare, how could I insure her? Of course, we would have her apply for a green card as soon as it is allowable, but I don't know what my options would be.

In a previous life I had another Mother-in-law come here, she got Social Security but that loophole may have been closed. She and my ex have since passed away.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Clarifications with Adjustment of Status as a K1 Visa holder

Hi everyone, I d really appreciate some guidance on the Adjustment of Status (AOS) process. My husband and I got married this past July 2025, and we re now preparing to file Forms I-485 and I-765.
I have a few questions:
1. Can I use my married name and new signature when submitting these forms, or should I stick with my maiden name for now?
2. We have an appointment with the SSA this Thursday. Since my Philippine passport (the only valid ID I currently have) still reflects my maiden name, should I use that name for the SSA records, or is it okay to use my married name?
3. We plan to file the AOS after the SSA appointment is that timing alright?
4. Lastly, my husband lives with his grandmother and mother, but none of the utility bills are under his name. Should we include a separate document or affidavit to confirm that we share residence with his family?
I ve been doing a lot of research, but the more I read, the more questions I seem to have. Thank you all in advance for your help and insights!
