We're applying from F1/OPT TO LPR via marriage to USC.

QUESTION 18: Address in the United States where your relative intends to live:?

As married couple, we live in the same house and share same address. so which address should we put as the question states "INTENDS"?

Question 15 for RELATIVE: Name and address of present employer (if any).

Since we are typing into the limited space, we were only able to include the name and city of the present employer. Should we leave it like that or include a note with the FULL address of the employer ?

As F1-OPT, relative graduated in June and received OPT in September 2011; however, he had a valid EAD issued for economy hardship which he used to apply for work after graduation in June 2011. will this result in working illegally?

Thanks for taking time to respond.

I will be aos from F1 to LPR as my wife is a USC. Hope this is not a dumb or repeated question.

In the form I-130 and I-485, there are questions regarding addresses. Since my lease expires @ my secondary address in July `12, so how do I put that down in these forms? your previous comment says do not include extra sheet of explanation.

In addition, I dont have my wife's name on the secondary lease because I got d apt before we married. does this question our marriage/Co-mingingly?

Thanks for taking time to respond.

Sounds like im not the only one who heard this rumor.

That idea is nonsense.

btw, why nonesense to u?

I thought the same..

Hello VJC,

I read/heard somewhere( can't remember precisely ) to wait 90days (3 months) after marriage to a USC before filing for AOS (F1 to LPR). Can someone please testify to this? Thanks much.

Congrats; what a relief. I pray/hope we all give such a great news in the near future.

Do we need a certified copy of our marriage license when send the application?

I plan to apply for GC via spouse. So, will AP be denied when returning to US in relation to my previous COS from J1 (no 2yrs restriction) to f1. Btw, f1 has a valid OPT.

Wow!!! What a good feeling. I am happy for you. Congratulations.

You got the red carpet treatment as the IO mentioned. So happy for you both.. Hope the rest of us will soon share such great news.

God is good...

You'll probably be asked about it but you have a good reason as well as a joint residence so I would not worry about it. It sounds like the address in Killeen is your primary residence whereas the apartment is more of a secondary work residence so that is the address I would use for everything.

Thanks for your response. So do you think we need to add a letter/note to our application explaining the address in New Braunfels or some kind of evidence to prove marriage?

I have been on a valid F1/OPT status since I graduated college in June 2011 in Killeen, TX. Immediately after graduation, I started my Full time job in New Braunfels, TX and was given relocation reimbursement/allowance (used to get an apt). In December 2011, I married now my wife (girlfriend of 4 years) who still lives and works in Killeen. After our marriage, we got a place together in Killeen while I still have this apt at New Braunfels just for work. At my job, I am able to make my own schedule and I’m required to only work 3 nights every week. I tend to fix my schedule in a way that I get 6-7 days off every month in 2 different occasions. Also, I schedule myself to work 3 days in a row. By doing this, I get to spend time in Killeen TX (my home) with my wife and pick up a PRN job. In addition, my wife and I would SOMETIMES (0-1 weekend every month) stay at the apt in New Braunfels, TX during the weekend that I have to work, as she works Monday through Friday.

I have Killeen TX as my home address in most of my documents except my water & electric bill (for apt in New Braunfels only) which is addressed to the apt in New Braunfels TX.

Distance from Killeen TX to New Braunfels TX is about 114 miles/2 hours and 5 minutes drive.

So my question is, will this be a problem when we apply for my AOS or is will this be a RED FLAG in our application? Which of these addresses will be recognized as my address by the USCIS? Btw, my lease at the New Braunfels apt expires in July 2012 and we're not planning to renew it.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi all, my question is different from the topic but would like some help. My question is regarding the I-864-Affidavit of support.

Should my wife (USC) only apply for I-864 or should the both of us apply?

I have been on F1 status since '07 and granted EAD (3-4 times) till '11. Then applied and was granted OPT (expires August '12) after graduation with a job waiting for me. Currently, we both individually make above poverty level. As mentioned above, should we apply together ? Keep in mind OPT expires in August.

1. 3-6 months. Could be longer.

2. Yes!

3. You can say "unknown." AP is routinely approved for AOS applicants.

Both the EAD and AP are free when filed based on a I-485.

And, just a caveat: 90 days has been the general trend for EAD approval, but I'd give yourself more time just in case. The worry might drive you insane! I'd apply ASAP after your wedding.

None, depending on your job it can be a hindrance. If you have some sort of security clearance the process can be slowed as the make sure this person you are intending to marry is OK.

Hello there,

I was wondering why that could be a hindrance. Please, elaborate more.
