What status are they on? I’m hoping you are not going to say they’ve just arrived on tourist visas.

No they have been here for a since covid without being able to return. Again they are seeing options as they have a son and they do not want there family sperated again so they are looking for options and I am just trying to get them information and translate as much as I can. Again they have a minor son and the husband is LPR. I am not sure why the Uscis fee page isn't working for me I do know the the petition is 535 and the AOS is around 1000ish and 85 bio fee. What they are unsure of is how it work if ever to file. As they have a child and they don't know if that goes as if they were doing a process for two or the kid is included with just the mother's applications and they pay the extra fees.

Is your friend a citizen or LPR? If citizen, two separate I130s. If LPR, son can be a derivative on the wife’s I130. If LPR, I presume they are here on legal status if he is looking at AOS.

 

Fees https://www.uscis.gov/feecalculator

 

 

Yes the husband has his green card and yes they are here legal. They just wasn't sure how it worked with there son and him being a minor.

So basically it's one application for the wife and son.

The fee calulator unfortunately doesn't work for me that's why I had to post we have been attempting all which ways 

Had a question for a friend. 

He wants to petition for his wife and son. He would like to know what would be the fees and does his son and wife go on two different applications, he son is under 2 years old. They know the application is 535 , they are curious if the fee doubles for the child or it's included with the mother's application as well when filing for AOS because he is a minor do they just included it under the mom's paper work.

**Moved from Tourist Visas to AOS from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas**

Thank you they are getting more of a better scope understanding all the processes with immigration. 

No no , she didn't lie to the CBP again this is just discussion because they are scared with the faith of covid what will happen with there family. No she doesn't work and hasn't work again she hasn't been here long. He makes a decent amount to maintain his family. Again they are just worried about there family being sperated for long period of time especially because it seems her country is about to close there borders again so basically she will be stuck....

They are just confused how it would work because she has a son that is her husband's child. And she can't seem to calulate the fee correctly where it's making sense. She knows the petition is 535 and the adjustment around 1400 ish with 85 of the biometrics but she doesn't know about her son because she's unsure if her husband can just outright claim him and there is like a waiver or because he was born outside the US have to file petition and adjustment for the both of them which would bring the fees up to a significant amount.

Yes , I shared that info with her ESP with being in limbo basically. They stated they were aware of it but because of covid they were scared to be sperated because of their son and the chances or a long time period being apart and they have weigh out there options they aren't sure just yet which way to lean. 

 

They just wanted to know the actual fees the process I explained because of what is going on immigration in is taking way longer then usual. 

 

( Yes totally don't agree with trying to adjust via a tourist visa because it definitely makes it harder on other people in there home country , but I guess they are desperate as her husband fears are at a all time high) I am just trying to get them the best information possible so they can know what route to take as well what the time frame can be and the risk of being in limbo and basically a couch potato. 

Your did awesome because that is def what check came out too....it was around 310ish for four days. She is getting paid weekly. But when she started she entered in the week others were getting paid , so they just paid her our for four days. That might explain it as you said I was thinking the same that because it was such a low amount could have been because of that. Because her HR person stated that everything was legit and they didn't see any errors and that was my fear there would have been error or that we would owe or that they should be taking a huge chunk out and what she actually would bring home would be super less then what she's working for and that would break my heart because she working so hard and excited for her first job in America and just over all even coming from her country where jobs aren't like here on the US. 

Thank you again to you all it's helping relieve my stress and fear as I was suffering from anexity riddled with fear something could be wrong

They don’t always stamp passports anymore. She can look up her I94 online..
 

Hm, she needs to understand they are less forgiving /more critical of LPR spouses than for USCs. They don’t have to apply the 90 day rule ...but they can, and have done in the past. Her son can be a derivative on her I130 if it is F2A. Anything at all that she does inconsistent with a tourist status (working for example) puts her out of status and makes her ineligible to adjust, this is a significant difference vs spouse of USC. Does she realize she will be in limbo for probably at least 6 months unable to work or travel out the US until she gets EAD/AP? Have they looked at the i944? 
 

(And yes, one more case that makes it harder for people from her home country to get tourist visas.)

You filled out a W-4 as well. You will both get a W-2 at the end of the year (well, sometimes next year).

 

Not sure why they aren’t withholding the right taxes...I’m not confident it’s a W-4 issue or if they may have her flagged as being exempt for some reason.

Could it be because she's a non resident waiting for her green card? Yes, she just started less then a week ago. 

 Going to take that advice and wait for the next pay period and see if they with hold anything. I figured it would at least be a percentage , I'm more concerned that it could affected me when I go to file and we end up owing vs. Getting anything back. Because I personally with own taxes have never had any issues I always file with 1for my take home could be a decent amount.

That looks like FITW (Federal Income Tax Withholding).  She should talk her HR department to make sure her W-4 has been processed correctly for future pay checks.

Yes , the part that got cut off states fed withholdings. We spoke with her HR department and he stated everything looks correct on there end. But if we had any concerns we could re fill out the W-4 and submit it again. But I'm lost on how its supposed to be filled because I fill w2. So I don't know if I am filing it incorrectly for her other then married with zero dependents.

“Another percentage that needs to be taken out”...can you be more specific what exactly you have in mind? Generally speaking employers take out federal and state income tax and insurance. 

I have attached a picture , I am confused where it states 0.00 now she just started and was paid only for the dates she started because it was on a current pay period so it was not a full check. I'm just worried I might be filing something out wrong. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

What do you mean she was not given an exit date? Of course she was given a max time to stay. When did she enter?

 

Is her husband a citizen or LPR? It makes a difference as to whether she can adjust and whether one or two i130s need to be filed.

She states that typically she gets a stamp she arrived about 3 weeks ago. But states she didn't get a max time , maybe she's missing something as in not seeing where it was stamped. 

I believe he is a LPR....what would be the case say citizen vs LPR. She wants to know so she can calulate the fee because the fee calulator doesn't help

My wife has had her work permit for a few months now and lucky throughout all the covid craziness has landed herself her first American job. 

She recently got países and we noticed that her taxes might not be correct. They are taking out social security and Medicare taxes. But from my knowledge there is another percentage that needs to be taken out but for her it states zero. And when I filled her paper work I filled as married and we have zero dependents as we have no kids and it's just me and her.

I am wondering if anyone else has seen or have had these issues and or how can we go about correcting this on her paper work so her next pay cycle can reflect correctly. I know that sometimes for non residents there's a different process or a certain amount they do or don't take out. Can anyone give me some insight on this as I am afraid it could effect me when I got to file taxes for the upcoming year. 

Thank you 

Hello all,

Asking for a friend- has a tourist visa. Entered and was not given a exit date. Her husband is a resident here in the United States they share a son. They want to adjust status for her and her son.

From my knowledge and from past experiences I have seen it can be possible. But her question is does she have to file for her son both a petition and AOS or does the son ? Because he's under age would they need to file two petitions or can it be filed concurrently ? 

Thank you guys so much 

They haven't filed taxes because they haven't lived or worked in the United States they have been studying medicine abroad. Met there wife feel in love and have recently had a child in Puerto Rico where they currently live now. There case was returned back first on the basis that he didn't make enough currently and because he hadn't had any taxes filed in which they explained and got another rfe stating they would absolutely need a joint sponsor. 

As to my question, because they wife is the only one applying I would be helping with being a sponsor to her or her entire family ? Being that it's onlyy wife and I no kids or anything crazy of sorts..... currently I make around 33'000. Does that hold me down enough to be able to help my friend without hurting my wife's own AOS application because currently we are only waiting on the interview which has been postponed because of covid 19 my friend has about 28 days to respond if not she will get deported..

Please please someone help with any information or any work around there are no contact centers open and they will not state anything via the phones

hello I have a quick question , can you be a sponsor for two people. right now my wife immigrated and we are waiting on her GC interview but due to covid19 this has been postponed till things get back to normal. now we have a close family friend who immigrated with her husband and has her own process going on...sadly she got an RFE twice about her husband not meeting the requirements because he has not filed taxes because he's been studying medicine abroad. they are no in Puerto Rico and are trying to file for her adjustment and her case has been set back twice because of the affidavit and not meeting. they have a young son and there household equal to 3 but the son and husband are us citizens born. 

my question now is , can she use me for an affidavit of support.....while my wife also is using me for her own AOS case? 

please help she only has 28 days left to respond and they stated that if she cannot fix this issue or send in the correct paper work that she will have to self deport or she will be given a time frame before they will deport her.  PLEASE HELP WITH AN GIVEN INFORMATION.

They are referring to the actual forms. A lot of people are getting this mixed up with post dates and forgetting to had read the fine fine print before the public charge Went into place. It also stares the forms have to have a certain date on it. This dates reflect on the bottom of the print out. I have seen a lot of these , that everyone rushed to get in before the 24th with 2020 forms in turn is basically crossing out the post dated mark statement. 
 

one of my Clients I submitted the package on the 22nd and we now yesterday have heard back from USCIS with fees completed and issued already case numbers. 
 

Double double check your papers and dates of the forms, if correct most definitely fight it. If not most likely you’ll have to resubmit with the new publix charge ruling. 

If this case if for Florida , that’s odd because I got married nov 8 and it was available to me the same exact days and they gave me 3 copies. You might want to call the court house and ask...the only difference in state of fl you can elect to take a pre marital course and it’ll void out the waiting period which is 3 days never heard of weeks and or if you don’t take it you have to apply summit your information then there after return 3 days later to signed and receive your licenses. 

You don’t really need to translate. I thought the same thing and paid 150 for all my documents and ended up leaving them in Florida when I went for my interview and they ended up accepting all of everything as is....

Strongly agree , you should be present ! 

You actually can call the NvC and they cane give you your sdo number and with that you can start your application pay the fee and schd the appointments yourself. 

You scheduled it yourself after you pay the fee on ustravel. It’ll give you the option first for the vac and then second for the interview. 

I have a sample....

It depends what you sent and didn’t send in your packet , you wouldn’t know what they are asking for till you get the letter and they tell you the specifics of what they need....is there something you didn’t put in your packet that was required ?
