All I can say is that we are all in the same situation. My husband got fired 1 week before marriage. He is now getting unemployment and Thank God that he also saved some money for this kind of emergency. Im the beneficiary and Unemployed and still waiting for EAD to start looking for work. we cut down on all luxuries and the small income that we have, we are using wisely to pay for rent, bills and necessities. Hang in there. its just a couple months (3-4 months) until you get your EAD or maybe before that. I hope you guys can live on just one income for the next 4 months.

As for your employer, you can ask him to hold the position for you. He might be THAT nice and hold it.

your comment is funny especially the north africans one Im north african ( very close to Italy ) but I took a plane instead of a boat lol.

Its seems like you are frustrated with the whole process. Then again, I assure you that everyone here is frustrated too but lets look at the bright side. Within 3 months from now you will have your green card in hand and everything will be much easier.

The government is treating all of us the same really. Its an immigration process and it takes time. Your EAD will arrive anytime soon so fingers crossed for you.

I had my interview descheduled by USCIS mid August and still waiting for a new date... I have an info pass next week to figure this out.

Oh waw. I just applied for AOS and I really hope it wont be more than 6 months.

May I ask, why did you reschedule your interview appointment ? Did you choose to or did USCIS change that? Im kinda worried because it took you almost 4 months for a new interview date which is too many days in my eyes haha.

thank you guys. Im sending it right now

Hi guys,

Tunisia has an expiration date for birth certificates. Im sending off my Aos paper with an old certificate to USCIS. DO you think, USCIS would want a new birth certificate or is the old one enough?

Also since my marriage is not accepted in tunisia (even though my husband is convert, he just didnt go to the Mufti to prove that) Im single in all my paperwork. Should that be a problem?

thanks

I think you need NOA2 .

Hi,

So Im finally going to apply for AOS from B2 after marrying a US citizen and I think Im ready. Before putting everything together and sending the package, I want to hear your opinion about it.

Im filling concurrently and The evidence I gathered for the I-130 is :

- Lease in both our names

- Two joint bank accounts and one bank statement in both our names

- Evidence that Im an authorized user on his credit card and a credit card of my own under the same bank account

- Joint Car insurance

- Mail sent to our house in both our names or one of us

- Wedding preparation receipts: Rings, Dress, restaurant.

- Honeymoon bookings: Flight and Hotels

- Pictures from the wedding, honeymoon, and other occasions

- Life insurance ( we are trying to get one by Tomorrow)

- Marriage certificate ( OF COURSE)

What we dont have :

Health Insurance

affidavits from friends

A Timeline of our relationship? Is that necessary?

For my I-485 do I need evidence? I only have the affidavits of support from my husband and our joint sponsor including all their tax returns. I have my medical exam sealed.

Is there anything missing ?

Your suggestions are much appreciated.

Where do you live now? And where is your spouse? Just explain more please.

Where would your interview take place? If your interview will be in your country of origin then im sure they know of this culture and they wouldnt be surprised. However, since you are married, they expect you to be together under the same roof unless there is a reasonable reason like working in different cities or something like that.

I would say, they will also ask for wedding pictures. Do you have any? If the wedding is so private and you guys are not living together then they might suspect fraud ( wedding for the sake of GC). Good luck

Tanks everyone,

Hos mom is willing to sponsor us but would that be enough? Because finding a job will take a while and we want to apply for aos.

Can we apply for aos with his mom as a main supporter for both of us ? He also has some savongs from hos previous job so we can present those too.

Hi guys,

I came here on a b2, got married and was going to apply for aos by the end of october. Unfortunately, my husband got fired out of the blue. This is all unexpected and right now i dont have any idea on what to do?

Hpw are we going to apply for aos with no employment,pay stubs and just 5000$ in our bank account.

Can we still apply and during the wait period look for a job for both of us?

Please givr me any advice. Im sp frustrated right now.

Thanks a lot

Hi people,

I hope you all are doing great.

My story : met an american citizen in my home country 3 years ago, stayed friends, then there were some feelings ( best virtual friend)but nothing was ever official. I decided to visit the states ( 50% tourism and 50% to see if our relationship can be more than just friends). To be honest, i felt like i was in love before even visiting him and in my heart i was wishing everything would go well between us. I just tried to lower my expectations. His mom sent me an invitation letter since he was living with roomates and not even on the lease. Long story short, igot accepted visa b2, and they did not even question where am i going to stay or who is that woman hosting me. Same thing at the airport. They asked why r u here and i said 'tourism'.

After going to the states, we had a lot of fun, we traveled to many states together and his family are just amazing.3 months later hesaid he wants to marry me so i put my flight ticket on hold and decided to stay until the last day allowed on my passport. His mom suggested Aos after marriage but im worried to be denied and also i read a lot that my mind gets confused more and more.

Another info is that my parents who are conservative people are totally against this quick marriage and they are basically denying us as a couple.

My questions are : will it be safe to apply for AOS? Will they accuse me of lying since i didnt mention this guy in my tourist visa application? ( they never asked me about his mom either or who am i visiting in the states so i didnt mention them.)

i dont have any problem going to my country and apply for green card the usual way but with all the problems with my parents ( threats) i feel safer here.

Final question , my marriage to this guy is not accepted in my country because this guy is concidered to be from different religion (even though he is , he just do not have any official papers that prove his religion). So in my country i will always remain seen as single. Will that affect aos? Will my parents disaproval affect aos?

Please advice.

Thank you
