    Not required, but the I-765 is free when filing with the I-485....She might change her mind later. I would also, absolutely, file an I-131, too.

    Here is an attorney opinion: Adjust K1 Visa Status | Allan S. Lolly PC (asl-lawfirm.com) "An application for adjusting status from K1 Fiancé Visa to a Green Card should normally be filed prior to the expiration of the 90 day period of validity of the K1 visa."

    This is an example of what happened to one VJ member who waited beyond 90 days to file for adjustment of status. This is a rare case, but possible:

    Once you have been inside the US for 90 days, your I-94 expires and you are subject to removal. Once you file a proper I-485 package, you will be granted authorized stay until the adjustment of status is either approved or denied. There are no advantages to waiting. Waiting to file an I-485 delays the ability to work in the US, delays the ability to leave and re-enter the US, delays the ability to apply for citizenship. It is best to apply for adjustment within the 90 days after entry.

    This global warming has resulted in a 10 degree low temperature here last night....and about a quarter inch of global warming fell and stuck to the roads here during the night. Believe it or not, we experienced some lake-effect global warming this morning....in Texas!!!!

    Thanks for clarifying.

    No.....nor was she really happy with her passport picture.....but both pictures are fine, imo. LOL

    My wife had to do biometrics after we submitted her I-751 in 2019. They used that picture for her Naturalization Certificate.

    That's a pretty good estimate. Well done. I guess the Green card holder could get a re-entry permit which would allow more time outside the US...but that could cause some issues with calculating continued residency and physical presence requirements down the line. I think you sequence makes more sense.

    No. As stated, this just isn't true at all. Can you clarify?

    That only applies for exceptional circumstances...and at the sole discretion of the consulate.
  12. Crazy Cat
    Yes, she can come to the US via a K-1, marry, then leave. However, a K-1 is a single-entry visa. Once she leaves, it will likely become more difficult to get a B2 visa or to visit the US. 1. Unless her circumstances change, I wouldn't expect success. 2. Possible. But very expensive and time consuming way to visit once. The process will take about 18 months....maybe longer. 3. A spousal visa is for living in the US. It is not a tourist visa. There are residency requirements to consider. 4. Why? An attorney can change neither the law nor a consulate's decisions.

    Taxes are exactly the same for US citizens and Green card holders.

    You are probably only a couple years from US citizenship.... Are you willing to give up all the time and money you have already spent in the US immigration system to this point? It's a big decision. Once you obtain US citizenship, you will be free to travel freely.

    No. But your receipt showing Adjustment of Status is pending is proof of "authorized stay" until the I-485 is either approved or denied.

    Visa Journey is a DIY site. When a member responds with a link, they are pointing you to the source for the answer to your question. I would prefer an actual source as compared to just a personal opinion....just my opinion.

    We had a combo interview, too. I was notified to attend 2 days prior to the interview date. I answered a couple questions during the I-751 part of the interview. The officer wanted to see marriage evidence from time of I-751 filing to interview date. Luckily, I went well prepared.

    I don't think you will need a joint sponsor if your CURRENT income is sufficient. CURRENT income is king, not past income on tax forms. Good luck. CURRENT annual income is calculated as follows: Gross income from last pay period multiplied times number of pay periods per 12 months = Current annual income.
