  1. There is no 90 rule for USCIS. Personally, I would not purposely wait until after 90 days. Just be prepared to not work or leave the US for an extended period of months. Your other options are to marry, leave, and start the spousal visa process, or leave and start the K-1 visa process.
  2. If you are going to stay, you need to marry and file for adjustment ASAP....before your I-94 expires. You do NOT want to wait. Once you file a proper I-485, you will be granted authorized stay in the US until the I-485 has been adjudicated.
  3. No. It just means you haven't sent an acceptable I-485 yet.
  4. I have a very good one in Dallas. She has done our taxes since wife arrived in 2017. PM me.
  5. Yes, it's normal. I have seen it take a month or more at times. If you are certain the package was rejected, I would send a new package with payment by valid check. If you overstay, you will not be granted authorized stay until a proper I-485 is received by USCIS.
  6. Who monitors the monitors?
  7. No such thing as sponsorship for a tourist visa. He is on his own.
  8. If he gets a receipt for the I-485, it will mean a denied application and a loss of the fee. The I-485 will NOT be approved...period. His best hope is to get the whole package back after a rejection...but I don't think that will happen. I hope I'm wrong.
  9. Is there a reason she has not already filed an I-485? By now, she would have already likely had approved advance parole.
  10. Good point. I have seen cases where the I-130 wasn't approved/adjudicated until the I-485 was. USCIS may or may not separate the 2 here.
  11. Good catch. I misread the bulletin categories....LOL. Sadly, not much difference in the timeline.
  12. I think they will deny the I-485.
  13. If she was considered an immediate family member of a US citizen, she could. However, she is an F2B F1 visa category. Her priority date is far from being current. It will be more than just a few years. She cannot adjust status (submit an I-485) in the US unless she maintains legal status until her PD is current.
  14. @Dashinka hit the nail on the head. Be prepared to show CBP your interview letter. IMHO, no person in their right mind would come to the US to adjust status if they already had a visa interview set. I believe CBP is smart enough to realize that, too.
  15. Remember that a Senator or Representative can only inquire about your case. The actual decision for an expedite comes straight from USCIS......discretionary, but based on their printed criteria. Also remember that it costs nothing to request an expedite.
  16. That is what they normally do.....I haven't figured out why wife got only 5 months. People should make sure they are aware of the expiration date, and arrive by that date. Good luck on your journey. It is quite a ride.
  17. Utah online marriage says hello.

  20. The expiration date of the medical exam drives the expiration date of the issued visa. CBP will be interested in the VISA expiration date, and they cannot alter that visa expiration date. Perhaps the intended message was that the Consulate might issue the visa with less than 6 months until expiration. That is true. Example: My wife's visa expiration date was 5 months after her medical exam.
  21. Getting a SSN through submission of an I-765 and/or I-485 has always been possible. However, there are advantages to obtaining one as soon as possible. That is why seasoned members of VJ ALWAYS recommend applying BEFORE marriage. See the instructions here :
  22. To my knowledge, people who submit a proper I-485 are still granted "authorized stay" until the I-485 has been adjudicated.
  23. Didn't the Ukraine PM recently buy some big property in Turkey?
  24. ***Comment split out from old thread***
  25. We have had a CPA/Tax Pro doing all our tax filings since wife arrived in 2017.
