    Marriage-Based Adjustment Of Status From H1B

    in Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas

    Posted

    Hello all,

    I've been out of status (H1B expired in 2010) and I'm planning to straighten up all of my paper work myself and I need your advice/help as I can't afford to hire an attorney. Is this all the paperwork and money that is needed or am I still missing something?

    Attach Form G-1145 separately in front of each Application Form Package.

    YES

    Passport copy (Should all copies be notarized? And which ones should be original?)

    Photocopies are OK. No need to notarize

    Two Photographs (myself and wife)

    USC one passport photograph. Intending Immigrant at least 4(2 for EAD,2 for I-485 and 2 for biometrics)

    Birth Certificate copy (wife)

    Should I attach my own and my wife's tax returns as well in addition to my sponsor's? My wife is on Government benefits living below poverty line and she can't sponsor me financially. Can I have my friend fill this form up? If so, will my wife also become his responsibility in addition to me?

    - W2, 1099, IRS-issued Tax Returns for last 3 years (copy)

    You can make 1 money order

    Should I file for I-131 concurrently with the above?

    YES,if you need to travel during AOS adjudication. Its free if filed concurrently

    Thanks for your help.

    HUm received the RFE letter today, apparently, despite using the required assets and my husband earning above the poverty line (we triple checked) they want us to have a joint sponsor. It is probably linked to the fact that part of my husbands income is fellowship/grant, but we don't have time to discuss the details. We ll just find a joint sponsor and get rid of this asap. Its so annoying.... :crying:

    Yea,that would be the best option. Am so sorry...

    We are also holding our breath ,as we havent heard anything from them after submitting our rfe response.

    Hope it all goes well for us all
