Thank you guys! Just received the Biometrics appointment letter, scheduled on 10/11.

I guess i will just wait for the new EAD card, =)

I hope you filed more forms than just the I-130.. all the I-130 does is establish that you are eligible to apply for a greencard and that there is an immediately available visa number for you (I assume by "got married" you mean you married a US citizen, correct?)

You should have also filed the I-485 which is the form you use to actually apply to become a permanent resident. Did you file that?

If you have filed to adjust your statys from F1 to permanent resident, you don't need to worry about your OPT really. You enter a new period of authorized stay once your AOS paperwork is received by USCIS. However, your EAD card that was issued for OPT will become void if you do not find a job within the 90 day time frame. That means you cannot use that EAD to work, unless you find a job before 10/01.

You could have applied for a new EAD (for free) through the AOS paperwork with the I-765 form. Did you submit that along with your other paperwork?

Thank you for your information.

Yes, I did file for I-130, I-485 AND I-765, but i am still waiting for the biometrics appointment.

Does that mean if I do not get the biometrics appointment before 10/1, and have not found a job before 10/1, my old EAD is not valid anymore?(Will they inform me separately that telling me from certain point my EAD is not valid ?) Therefore, i have to wait for the new EAD that they will issue me?

Thank you very much!!!!

Hi everyone. I am an F-1 student just graduated this year, currently using OPT. And I just got married on August, and applied for I-130(green card) at the end of August. USCIS is processing my case. I just got the I-797 Notice of action yesterday. However, my OPT starts at 7/1/2011, I know there is a 90 days period that you have to get a job, otherwise your opt will be cancelled( That means i have to find a job before 10/1/2011). But so far i could not find a job! Will they cancel my OPT after 10/1? Or once my case is processing, i will be fine? what can i do? Thanks!!!

hi, on I-864 form,

part 3, #8, answer is "I am sponsoring the principal immigrant named in Part 2 above" and " yes"

#9 None

for part 3, #10, should answer be "1" or "0"?

Thank you!!

1. You don't need to file for a new EAD because you have one, though it costs nothing.

2. Your SSN is your number for life.

3. Permission to accept employment. You are getting a new card in a new category. There is another space to put your OPT EAD information.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Hi, everyone, i just got married and my husband is a US citizen. I am an F1 student just graduated and currently on OPT.

My husband just graduated also and got the job in March 2011, and it is actually a part-time job, so his income is insufficient to sponsor me on I 864. Therefore I asked my uncle to be my sponsor.

My question is,

1.so my husband AND my uncle both need to file I-864 for me, right?

2.But my husband just started the job and does not have tax return, what should i do?

3.and what should i put on the# Q 25 on the form?

Thank you very much!!!!!
