One way to know is to check if they cashed the check or charged the credit card yet?

No, They havent yet.

No, not normal. It shouldn’t take two months to delivered and more than another month to get the NOA1. 

 

Unless your date is NOT in the American format but instead you filed on 07 October 2019 and it was delivered on 09 October 2019, in that case, it is perfectly normal.

 

yes, i still forget to write the date in the American format. I meant i Have sent it on 07 october and it was delivered on 09 october. But i still didnt get the notice of Receipt

Hello, I have sent my Adjustment of status on 07/10/2019 and til this day i still didn't receive a NOA1 . I have checked with the post office an it was delivered on 09/10/2019. Is this normal ?

i-751 is Removal of Conditions---OP is not at that stage yet.

 

I believe Paul & Mary meant applying for the i-765, Employment Authorization.

oh alright, thanks for your reply. i also have another question if you can answer me. When i got married i added my husbands last name so now its First name LAst name Husbands last name. however its only in the marriage certificate. My passport and everything else has First name LAst name only. So on the application what name should i use? thank you

Each form gets processed separately.   You can put in one envelope but each needs it's own check and 2 passport photos.   Also apply for the I751 and I131 as there is no additional cost.

can i apply for i751 even if we have been married for less than 2 years

Hi everyone,

 

Finally, after ~2 months on and off preparation and countless re-prints, we are going to mail out our application package today. Background story, I'm currently in valid F-1 status working full time with my STEM OPT extension EAD (will expire end of April 2018) and got married to a U.S. citizen (last week). Thank you to everyone who have answered my questions in the past.

 

My application in a nutshell

 

• Filed for optional applications (I-765 & I-131)
• Photos are placed in ziploc bags and clipped to respective forms (Name and A-number (if any) written on the back with pencil).
• I organized my application package into folders
• Each form is paper clipped.
• Forms and evidences are binder clipped to the respective folder, so they won't fall out.
• My husband's family member agreed to joint sponsor, because my husband's income is insufficient.
• During the past five years, my husband had period of unemployment (full time student), so I went ahead and wrote "None-Student" on his I-130.
• In regard to the evidence of bona fide marriage, I definitely front-loaded our application package with plenty of secondary evidences. For example, list of all past shared trips and gifts exchanged.  I paper clip evidence from the same trip( i.e. hotel reservation, flight reservation, car rental reservation, photos) and made cover letter for it.
• Similarly, items included in my I-485 were not all required items per I-485 instructions, such as the entry stamps and copy of I-20s. Per page 11 #7 of the instruction document, I-94 Arrival - Departure record should be sufficient.

 

The whole package weighs 3 lbs 3 oz. and I will mail them with a priority mail envelope.

 

Alternative scenarios:

• Instead of joint sponsor, I can use my income (intending immigrant) by showing proof that my income will continue from the same source after getting the green card. 
• I could have use my saving accounts by submitting bank statements covering the last 12 months. 
• Get the medical examination (I-693) done closer to the interview date to avoid the risk of a Request for Evidence (RFE) asking for a new I-693, if case is pending for more than one year from priority date.
• Certified copy of marriage certificate is not required, but I had an extra, so I am sending it with the I-130.

 

Please let me know if you see anything missing from my application package. Otherwise, hopefully these photos could help future applicants.

 

this was very helpful, thank you. How many pictures, birth certificates and passport copy did you submit in total?

hello,

I have been trying to do my adjustment of status alone rather than using an attorney which can cost about $4000. And i wanted to make sure that i can do it myself and not mess it up.

background about my case:

           i came to the US in 2014 on an F-1 Visa

           got married on 27/08/2018 to a Us citizen

          stopped attending school after getting married so i was out of status

          visa expiring on 20/7/2019

I have been looking online and found out that being out of status wont be an issue. I also found that i can apply for form I-485 and I-130 concurrently. 

My questions are do i have to have different folders for I-30 and I-485 or can i just put them in the same folder? Both forms require the same documents, for example 2 passport pictures, does that mean that i will need to provide 4 passport pictures?
