It certainly raises question of her integrity, which in turn casts doubt on the legitimacy of the marriage. Prepare to answer some tough questions I guess.

My interview lasted about 2 minutes. The interviewer said that since we have a child in the marriage, the interview was not actually necessary. We brought our baby. The only question asked was if I was involved in any terrorist activity.

A cover letter is helpful, but not necessary. I did mine without any cover letter and it went just fine.

Thank you all for the replies:

To clarify: I am not currently working in the US. I have had a few job interviews.

As for asset:

My money is USD in Hong Kong and can be freely transferred to any US bank account, though I don't know if that is necessary since I can use my bank cards in any US ATM to withdraw money. Would I need an official bank letter to prove it or can I just print out a statement from the internet?

Hello, members!

This is my first posting because I am considering AOS for IR status

Please kindly advice me what to do.

I am a Chinese citizen and married my wife, an American citizen by birth, two years ago in the United States while I was on my B1/B2 visa. After our marriage, we left to live in China, and we had a baby while we were in China, who has an American passport because the embassy staff considered her an American citizen and refused issue a visa to her Chinese passport.

As you know, China's air quality is getting bad so I want to move to the US. I entered the United States by myself for potential job interviews on B1/B2 visa. My wife is still in China getting things finalized (selling stuff, etc) and she will join me here soon. I am planning to file my AOS from B1/B2 to IR so I can get my new life started.

So here are my questions:

1. Can we file our I-130 and I-485 before my wife joins me? She will do it as soon as everything is taken care of in China (renting out our condo mostly). This way we can save some time.

2. Should I observe the 30/60 day rule to be safe? I don't want to waste too much time.

3. My wife has been a stay at home mom in the past year so can I sponsor myself with my own assets (I have bank balances and properties in China which significantly exceed the requirement).

One more thing that might be irrelevant to Visa

4. The Obamacare deadline is the end of this month. As my wife and I were not living in the US, we obviously didn't purchase insurance. Now that we are coming, would we be hit by a penalty because we would buy insurance after the deadline?

Thanks in advance!!!
