  1. Good luck. You won't have I-94 info since you are a legal resident. Wife and I had to resort to calendars, itineraries, etc.
  2. Those things, along with the advice @Sukie gave would probably be sufficient, imo.
  3. Welcome to Visa Journey. Your case is no longer DIY, imo. I would find a good immigration attorney who is experienced in hardship waivers.
  4. Unless she marries someone already receiving Medicare based on work credits, she has to have 5 years as a Green Card holder for Medicare.
  5. ***Moved to Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, and Tourist Visas***
  6. Agree. But, I have not seen a single case denied or delayed due to improper filing status.
  7. If married, you should have filed either as Married Filing Separately or as Head of Household (if qualified). However, this is an IRS matter. It should not be a big deal for immigration. I wouldn't worry about it. From what status did your wife file the I-485? K1 or Work, Student, Tourist Visa? It is very strange that an adjustment of status interview would focus on a tax return. Did you have other evidence?
  8. OK. Thanks. You then filed an I-130 and a new I-485, correct? If so, applicant will be granted authorized stay (you need an NOA1) until the new I-485 is adjudicated.
  9. But you are not adjusting status from a Work, Student, or Tourist visa. Your spouse entered via a K-1. Your case has nothing to do with an IR-1/CR-1 visa.
  10. ***Moved to Adjustment of Status Progress Reports*** ***Similar topics merged***
  11. Nice research!! I agree. I'd get that changed, if possible.
  12. Thanks. Your Ohio ID shows citizenship status?
  13. To my knowledge, Citizenship status is not indicated on a Texas DL. However, OP said about the California ID, " it still says I’m not a citizen in the back of it but they told me it doesn’t make a difference". I would want my state ID to accurately reflect citizenship status.
  14. I would make the DMV issue a new driver's license with your PROPER citizenship status on it. In Texas, you can't make an address change online unless you are a US citizen. I would insist they change your status to US citizen in the California database,
  15. Be advised that we do not allow links to that site here on Visa Journey.
  16. Why would your husband need a biometrics appointment? Something is not adding up. Did he come to the US via a spousal visa or a tourist visa? Just trying to get an accurate picture of what the situation is.

  19. There are also other factors you might want to consider. Every couple has their own priorities, and each couple must decide which visa is better for their situation. K-1 More expensive than CR-1 Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork) Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 3-6 months) Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 3-6 months) Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed. A K-1 might be a better choice when 18-21 year old children are immigrating also In some situations, marriage can affect certain Home country benefits, making a K-1 a better choice A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire K-1 entrant cannot file for citizenship until after having Green Card for 3 years. Once an I-129F has been approved, delaying the case is difficult to impossible if the need arises. CR-1/IR-1 Less expensive than K-1 No Adjustment of Status(I-485, I-131, I-765) required. Spouse can immediately travel outside the US Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival. Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US Opening a bank account, getting a driver's license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport. Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US. The clock for citizenship filing starts immediately upon entry to the US. A CR-1/IR-1 case can be delayed indefinitely at NVC if the need arises. Good luck on your journey.
