Thanks all!

Hi,

I'm thinking about using an Attorney for my Adjustment of Status, as my application is way late, and there are a few other possible complications. I have the choice of a few that are at the other end of the country(I'm in Washington state), or getting one that is local. I've heard that a Distant Attorney would be tricky as it would cost too much to fly them to my area. Is it often that you need an attorney to be there in your area? Has anyone suffered as a result of having a distant attorney?

What do you think?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'm English, just got married to my American wife recently.

Just need to know a few things. I'm sending i-130 and i-485(and all the other forms). Do I need to send separate checks/cheques for these, or is one check for $1490 ok?

Also, how many passport photos should I send? Do I need to send passport photos of just myself, or my wife too?

Thanks for all your help!

So when I'm at home and I do the washing and cleaning, the wife comes home and cooks me a meal, is that illegal?

What is classed as work, when it comes to waiting for the permit to come through.

Alright, a 'job', I would say is totally out of the question. But what about doing something for exchange, i.e. you sweep a friends driveway, and they give you a meal. Or my wife would be out working and I would vacuum the house and water the plants etc.

Where is the line drawn?

Thanks in advance! :-)

Hi,

I've been filling out forms all day for an AOS. My wife works really long hours and there is some info. on the forms that will take a little research to find out(tax return info. for the past 3 years etc) on the I-864.

I'm thinking probably best I send the i-130, i-485, g-1145 and g-325a first and send the i-864 later, as my VWP runs out on the 2nd of March 2013.

Whaddya think folks?

Thanks in Advance!

Yes, I think you've got it right hmh33. I've seen a similar post where other have done exactly what you said.

My Vwp date runs out on Sunday the 2nd of March. Would it still be on time, if I SEND it before that date, or does it need to arrive at Chicago by then? Any ideas?

Interesting. It was a few months ago now. It was on a Visa Waiver Program.

I'm sure I filled out a blue customs form, and an i-94, which I still have, but I think I remember being told I only need to fill out the blue customs form. So I just kept the i-94, but immigration didn't do anything with it.

Is that right Alaska?

Thanks Pengy! That's very reassuring!

Hi,

I'm from the UK, in the USA on a Visa Waiver.

I'm filling out an i-130 and an i-485 as I've just married my girlfriend. My passport has a stamp that has the date I entered the US, and the date the vwp runs out.

I have an i-94 but it just has the part I filled out. Nothing on it has been written by immigration, or any stamps etc.

Also, my vwp runs out on Sunday the 2nd March. Do I need to get the forms sent ON that date, or do they need to be AT the appropriate office by then?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response!

Do you have personal experience with this Lawyer?

Hi,

Does anyone know, or have experience of a good Immigration Attorney, preferably in Seattle or anywhere in Washington?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Sorry, I meant Nich Nick! :-)

Yeah, I 've got nothing to be guilty of, and I'm happy to co-operate, so what the hell! Thanks again jay Jay!

Got ya Jay jay! Very sound advice, thank you! :-)

I got an agency job that is very flexible, so I can honestly go on that line. I got enough money to keep me there. From what I know, and the advice given on this page, it seems like I can do this ok!

Thank you so much to everyone for their advice! So great that people can help each other out this way! Thank you! :-)

Yes, this trip is going to be on a visitor visa, there is no fiance visa involved at this stage.

I have good money to cover myself, for the trip. I'm getting a letter from my employer to say I have a job. I stay at my mothers and pay cheap rent.

Thank you very much for the advice so far, very useful

Hi Penguin,

We've not long been together, so we're at that stage yet!

And if I do take the honest route, what documentation/information will I need to give?

Thanks for your reply Bigdog.

I see your point. I don't like to lie. But, I have a seen a few stories of people who have been penalised for being honest.

Depends on what, do you think?

Thanks Jacque,

I will take what you say, into account. Already bought my ticket! lol

Hi,

I'm flying out to see my g/f next week, on a Visa Waiver Program for 86 days. I'm in the UK. I've visited the USA a few times in the past few years. The last time being in May 2012, for 2 weeks.

I've been told by a couple of friends, NOT to say that I'm visiting my girlfriend, as immigration can become very difficult about this. Does anyone know, what lengths would immigration normally go to, to see if I was in a relationship or not? Would they check my facebook etc?

Thanks in advance.

Yes you're right Tygrys! Thanks, I didn't realise this!

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

My understanding is that with an 01-B visa. As an Artist, I apply for, and I don't have an employer.

Hi,

I was wondering if I would be able to apply for an 0-1B visa whilst I was in the USA from the UK, on a Visa Waiver? Also does anyone know how long it would take to process a 0-1B visa?

Thanks!

Yeah, I know, but I need to find out how much it's going to cost the employer, as I'm helping them gather the data.
