    I-485 help

    in Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from K1 and K3 Family Based Visas

    Posted · Edited by movingforward78

    Thank you all for your help. I just want to know that we're not committing a crime or doing anything illegal. We have her return ticket for the 28th of October, 2012. I don't want her to leave and I intend to keep her here in the country. She has visited the states on her visitor's visa twice in the past 5 years and returned home to Greece every time.

    We got married on a whim, Monday the 28th of September, my grandmother who resides in our home, is dying of cancer and she wanted to see her grandson (me) married before she passes away.

    Should I send the papers as soon as possible and get this moving? What are the consequences if denied on grounds of fraud?

    Since you are already married, filing for K-1 is impossible any more. However, fortunately your wife is in U.S., I would suggest you start applying for it anyway ( it's best with assistance from Experienced and Honest Attorney).

    In general, there are two interviews: one is called initial interview, the second is called stoke interview.

    Good scenario:

    If the IO is convinced in the first initial interview, then the GC is approved and no need for second one.

    Bad scenario:

    If the IO is not convinced, then the stoke interview is set up, and both of you will be interviewed separately for hours in order to judge if the marriage is bona fide or not. If the IO is not convinced and ascertain that the marriage is sham, the deportation process will start, and IO will also speak to petitioner and request petitioner to withdraw his/her petition for his/her wife/husband in order to be acquitted of any related crime prosecution.

    This is all I know about the consequence of denial on the ground of fraud.

    ^Thanks for the reply.

    No, she did not intend on marriage and immigration when she arrived, she is here visiting me. She had applied and received a visitor's visa in 2005, we were engaged in 2008, and her visa is valid through 2015.

    Does this change the circumstance or will we have problems now? Does she have to back and apply for a k-1 visa first?

    First of all, I need to say that I don't want to scare you but to give you some info:

    There is a 30/60 rule, I am not sure if you have heard of it, it stipulates that if anyone enters into U.S. on B-1/2 visa and gets married within the 60 days of arrival, the IO will view this case with serious suspicion of intended marriage on B-1/2 visa. But there are always exceptions that people who got married within 60 days on B-1/2 visa, and got their GC approved. All I think is you need to prove your bona fide marriage case with some more work when questioned by IO at interview.

    If you are really worried about it, please consulate an experienced attorney before going for interview.

    Good Luck!

    File Number A on G-325A form

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

    Hi All,

    I have a question regarding the 'File Number A' and 'Alien Registration Number' on the G-325A form? Are they the same number?

    I was issued an EAD card with 'A number' on it as a student on the OPT program, but this EAD card had expired already.

    So i am wondering if i can still use the 'A number' on my expired EAD card for the 'File Number A' on the G-325A form?

    Thanks

    P.S. i am married to my wife who is U.S. citizen while travelling here.
