My question is for F1 students who are or have been in the same situation. If you are going judge and assume things, please kindly stop replying to this thread. You are being very unhelpful and plain rude. I'm in no way an expert to immigration laws that's why I have a lot of questions and ask for guidance for those who do or at least have experienced that same things I'm going through right. Which is what this forum is all about isn't it? So please stop asking unrelated questions just to quench your curiosity.

To all those who've been helpful, thank you to all!

I went to school last Spring. That was my first semester. My husband and I decided to get married this summer. So I decided to focus instead on getting my papers fixed and opt not to enroll for fall. I'm applying for an EAD as well so I may work for a couple of months before going back to school

Yeah, why waste time studying when AOS works fine?

tindera, are you a Filipino or a Saudi national?

I'm both. I have 2 passports. But I entered the US as a Saudi national. Why?

In my case, I just told my DSO, or the school staff who took care of me by phone and email. She congratulated me and that was it. I'm waiting for the interview date right now ☺️

And you didn't actually go in person to the school?

You came to study so why would you not enroll?

Hi. I'm currently in the same situation. I did not enroll for the fall semester and I tried calling my school before and I told them my plans and that I got married. She advised me that I should enroll. After talking to people here and doing further research I now know that since I'm an immediate relative I'm not required to enroll as long as my AOS application is pending. When I talked to the lady at my school she asked me to come in anyway to talk to her so she'll know that I didn't just run away and violated my status. My questions is did any of you had to do this? I know when I go there she'll probably just tell me what she told me on the phone. Would this affect my AOS you think?

Oh hi there! San ka?

Dito ako sa kansas sis

Just submitted mine. I haven't heard from USCIS yet. Hopefully I will this week

I'm kind of in a similar position. I just submitted by AOS package so Idk if I will get an RFE. I have my Aunt as my joint sponsor and her husband recently died in January. The the tax return still include her husband and in the line asking for annual income we just used her expected income for the year. We also submitted her employment letter and payslips.

Most likely it wasn't RFE - someone tried to expedite EAD. Usually in this case the USCIS asks to prove a job offer, as a basis/reason to expedite

Ah I see! That makes more sense

Thanks guys. This is what I know too. I was just checking because I read someone got an RFE for their EAD application asking for proof of job offer

Hi I'm applying for AOS through marriage. I sent in my i-485, i-130, and EAD application last week. For my EAD do I need to show I have a job offer?

For purposes of this affidavit, the line for Total Income on IRS Forms 1040 and 1040A will be considered when determining income.

Also that line confuses me

Proof of taxes she gave me her 1040 and her W2 for year 2015

If you provide a photocopy of your Federal individual income tax returns, you must include a copy of each and every Form W-2 and Form 1099 that relates to your returns. Do not include copies of these forms if you provide an IRS transcript of your Federal individual income tax returns rather than a photocopy unless you filed a joint income tax return with your spouse and are qualifying using only your income.

That is on the instructions but I have a hard time understanding it.

hi

her individual income, along with taxes, she will send her W2s and paystubs, she can also include an employment letter

yes she has all that. I've already taken it from her. I was just confused which income should I put on the form

Okay so my Aunt is going to be my joint sponsor. Her most recent tax forms for year 2015 still includes her husband. Which income do I put? Her individual income or total income with her spouse? Her individual income is on line 7 of her 1040 and total income is on line 22 which includes income of my Uncle. Someone please help

Hi I'm also an F1 applying for a greencard soon. I am preparing my documents now and I know I need to provide sufficient evidence that I haven't been violating my F1 status, I was wondering if you can tell me if you need to submit your I-20? And were you still enrolled in school when you've applied? The start of fall semester in my school is on the 22nd of this month and I won't be enrolling since I'll be applying for AOS.

Sorry for the delay!! Yes you can put both. I put both countries on my husbands papers.

Thank you so much for your reply. You've been such a help

Country of birth is independent of nationality. You could put either of your nationalities, but it would probably be better to put Saudi Arabia, the passport you entered last on.

The thing is I would be applying with the name on my birth certificate which is different from the name of my Saudi passport but same on my Philippines passport

Hi I'm a dual citizen applying for AOS. I entered here on my Saudi passport but I'd be presenting my Philippines birth certificate as was advised. In the i-485 form under "Country of Citizenship/Nationality" on the first page can I write both Saudi/Philippines?

And If I used the name on my birth certificate what should I put under Country of Citizenship and Nationality? Should I put both? When I enter the US as a Saudi Citizen

I had a (Somewhat) similar issue. My husband was born in Costa Rica and was given both of his moms last names as his dad was not present to sign the birth certificate. At age 6, his parents brought him back to Nicaragua (both parents are Nicaraguan, thus he is as well) and he was given a Nicaraguan birth certificate. His father signed that certificate giving him one last name from mom and one from dad. Essentially he has two different birth certificates with two different names and supporting documents.

USCIS wants your actual birth certificate which is from the Philippines and you will use that name on all of your documents. We did this for my husband and his original BC from Costa Rica with that name. There is a section on the paperwork for an AKA name. There you should put your name on your Saudi passport and attach a letter explaining the situation. I never received an RFE in regards to my husband. that is not to say you wont but most everything is explainable. Good luck!

I guess I can use the name on my birth certificate my only concern is I entered here with my Saudi passport and my visas are in the same name as my Saudi passport.

Not really. The misinformation line isnt generally helpful.

If you cant fix the erroneous paperwork then why are you worrying about an RFE?

Misinformation line? Sorry I don't understand.

I worry that once I send my application and then they question the difference in names on my birth certificate and passports won't I only have 3 weeks to respond to an RFE? What if I can't fix it in that amount of time? Which is why I want to have everything ready before I send my application

Do you think I should call USCIS or the service center in my area and ask them about this? Is that a good idea?
