Can you fix your Saudi or Philippines paperwork?

I can't change the name of my passport or the name in my birth certificate

Include everything along with an explanation.

Would that be sufficient? What if I get an RFE? I'm afraid of submitting my application and getting an RFE because of this and then won't have enough time to fix it

Why are your passports and birth certificates all different names?

I was born in the Philippines and up until 10 I was a citizen of the Philippines. When my Mom and I applied for saudi citizenship they automatically had my name changed to the one I'm using on my saudi passport. They changed my middle name to the name of my grandfather and when it was translated from english to arabic my last name had different spelling.

I have a national ID from saudi with the same name as my passport. would that do?

help please

Hi I'm applying for AOS from F1 based on marriage. So here's the thing I'm a dual citizen. I have a passport from the Philippines where I was born and I have a passport from Saudi Arabia. I used my Saudi Arabia passport to get first a tourist and an f1 visa. I'm here on an f1 visa now. The birth certificate I'm gonna submit is from the Philippines but the spelling of my name on my birth certificate is different on my Saudi passport but the same on my Philippines passport. Here are my questions:

1. Would they question my names being spelled differently? Also my name on my Saudi Passport is longer because I have my grandfather's name on it too...as the custom in Saudi but not on my birth certificate...are they strict on this?

2. Which copy of nonimmigrant visas do I send them? just F1? or both b2 and f1?

3. Do I need to submit a copy of my Philippines passport too?

thank you that clears things up

1. Yes, provide paystubs and a letter from the employer stating the job is long term and stable. When you have your interview (several months after you file), bring more paystubs

2. That is correct; until you are a US citizen, worked for ten years full time and paid taxes, leave the country and give back your greencard, or die.

3. Correct, household size of two unless she claimed others on her taxes (such as an adult child or elderly family member).

They check by looking at paystubs, and may also call the employer to verify. It sounds like your husband is not getting the hours he is promised in his contract, which is an employment law issue, but USCIS goes by income, not by hours stated.

okay so does it mean that my husband has to keep his job until I'm a US citizen? even after I get a job? Because he's planning to go back to school next year once I have a job of my own and after we save up? We are getting a joint sponsor tho so would that matter?

Info: applying for AOS from F1, my husband is my sponsor, we are newlyweds. My husband just started his job last June and he was never required to file a Federal Income tax return

Questions:

1. What documents can we provide with form i-864? Besides a written letter explaining why he wasn't required to file for tax as instructed on USCIS website. Can we also provide his employment letter? or paystubs?

2. In the USCIS website they say that the affidavit of support lasts until I'm a US citizen? Can I just confirm that? I thought it only last until I get approved for a greencard and can legally get a job?

3. I'm going to ask my Aunt to be our joint sponsor she lives alone, does she fall under the household size of two? Her plus the immigrant she's sponsoring? is that correct?

I just want to confirm if I'm understanding correctly

Also how would they check for annual income without the tax return of my husband? especially since he just started more than a month ago? We'll be moving in an apartment in a few days just the two of us so I know he needs to earn 1, 700/month to qualify. With his hourly wage, he would be able to meet the income requirements if he works 40 hours but the problem is he's only been reaching a maximum of 30 hours a week, at least until August. With his employment letter though, it says there that he's working 40+ hours a week. Is there going to be an issue here? Please let me know

hi

either one, only one proof of citizenship is required

alright thank you!

So in the proof of citizenship for naturalized US citizen, do we need to send a copy of both the naturalization certificate and the US passport? Or can we just either one? My husband can't find his naturalization certificate...

Aww congrats. I'm on a similar boat. I got married 2 weeks ago while on F1 visa and I'll be applying for AOS soon. You are giving me so much hope

Thanks for the reply. I really don't think I'll be enrolling for various of reasons. I may go back to school in a year or so but right now I want to focus on adjusting my status and enjoying married life even for a couple of months. As long as it's not going to affect my AOS in any way then I won't. Thanks for the prompt reply. Reall appreciate it

Hi. I'm new to this forum. I've been reading some of the topics for a while and I decided to join.

So I'm an F1 visa holder, previously on tourist visa, I started my first semester last January. Two weeks ago my boyfriend and I got married, he proposed last March. I'm planning to apply for AOS soon. I just contacted my school and told them my plans and that I won't be applying for fall semester. They highly recommended I enroll because if I don't my F1 status would be cancelled. Do you think I should enroll for fall semester? Would this affect my application for permanent residency? From what I understand it's okay for me to stay in the country while my AOS is pending and in case I get denied I would have to leave immediately. Is that correct? Has anyone here been in the same situation?
