Fiancé is deployed and has no permanent place/address

Hello! I'm the beneficiary of the K-1 Visa and will have my medical exam and interview next month. My Fiance is out on deployment currently. We sent out the papers to the USCIS while he was still residing in his old apartment and provided that address as the place where I would be staying with him. The issue here is my fiance no longer resides in that apartment (he'll be getting a new one). I've already filled out the DS-160 form with the same address. Will this be a problem?

K1 married but have not filed AoS. Good to fly?

Hello,

We're approaching the end of our 90 days on the K-1. We have AoS prepared, but have not yet sent it. We have plans to see family that involve flying after the 90 days have ended, but possibly before we get any response regarding our AoS filing.

Does going through TSA pose a risk if we've already filed AoS but have no confirmation?
We assume going through TSA before filing but after the 90 days is wildly dangerous?

Thread with similar circumstances that has us worried below:

K1 - Social Security Name Change Before AoS?

Posting in K1 subforum, please move elsewhere if not correct.

Got a K1 visa, immigrated, got a SSN, got married, have not applied for AoS yet.

I'm using a new name after marriage so I went down to the local Social Security Administration office to get a name change on my SSN. The clerk told me that she won't process the name change because I first need to get my name change done with "immigration", which I'm assuming means USCIS and the AoS process.

Is there no way to get a new Social Security Card after a K1 marriage but before applying for AoS? We wanted to make this straightforward for insurance, but I guess now I'll have to get on my partner's insurance using my old name, since that's who the card is out to?

Pending I-90 - Still received Reminder to File Form I-751

In April 2022, my wife had her appointment for her greencard. At the time of the interview, we were married over 2 years. She was approved for her greencard that day and within 2 weeks she received it. We noticed they had given her a 2-year conditional greencard in error instead of a 10-year card. After confirming with other members on this site (see this post), we filed our I-90 documents online (January 2023) stating that USCIS had made an error. My wife also got her I-551 ADIT stamp at the same time, which expires shortly. My wife has already setup an appointment to renew this, but apparently USCIS is now sending documentation that must be carried with her when we travel outside of the Country and are not doing the stamp. They confirmed that it will expire a year from the date of the original I-551 stamp.

The current wait time for an I-90 is 30 months, which is insane, but that's what it is. Yesterday we received a reminder notification from USCIS to file Form I-751. I'm assuming this is an auto-generated email from USCIS and they did not look at her pending I-90 before sending it. We don't plan on filing the I-751.

So I have a comment and two questions:

  • I wanted to confirm that we should just ignore this remider.
  • What would happen if USCIS denied the I-90 error? Does the I-551 supercede the original green card expiration date?

AOS from F1 status

Hello, and I apologize in advance that my post might be a little bit chaotic, but I'm just at the beginning of my journey.

I came to the US for graduate school, as the research group I was working with already during my Bachelor's is US-based. Two years in, I met my future husband. We plan to get married in January '24. I have around 1 - 1.5 years left to finish my degree, and then I can apply for up to 3 years of OPT as I'm doing PhD in a STEM field.

However, although I wouldn't be too worried about finding a job anywhere in the US after I get my degree, finding it around the city we currently live in might be more challenging - and we are bound here for the next couple of years because of my partner's child. Therefore I feel it would be beneficial to apply for AOS as soon as we're married (also, to the best of my understanding, traveling with F1 status while I'm married to a US citizen might be tricky). We plan to fill out and send the forms (I-130, I-864, and I-485) ourselves, as the money is rather tight.

So far, I have a few questions:

First, about the sponsorship. My partner himself makes only slightly above the guidance for the 3 people's household, but I do have my own income as I work at the university. Can I add myself as a co-sponsor (or should we somehow file the sponsorship jointly)?

The other question is about taxes. I understand, that later on for the removing condition filling out taxes jointly seems like the best bet... But as I will still be a non-resident alien next spring, and my country has a tax treaty signed with the US that I'm still using (which in my case just means that $2k of my yearly income is not taxable at all), I wonder if we shouldn't wait with filing jointly a year longer. I have no idea what financial benefits might come from filling jointly, and I'm pretty sure I would have to do some back pay on the treaty, which I'd prefer to avoid.

Last but not least - how do I find a doctor's office that would do the medical exam required for AOS? I assume the office must be somehow approved by immigration, and I'm completely lost on this step. Can I do the medical before getting married to save time, or is it frowned upon?

Thank you for all your replies!
