Anyone here knows what happens when one of the people (the US citizen) gets arrested before the AOS interview takes place?

She can still file for VAWA from overseas. It might be best to simply help her leave the bad situation she is in and once she is back with family and can clear her head she can look into VAWA. The only other thing not mentioned is depending on how she entered the US (K or B) she may have overstay and be subject to a ban if she ever wanted to return to the US. 

She came to the US on a K Visa.

Not an issue. Also, while it was pending she was in authorized stay: https://fam.state.gov/FAM/09FAM/09FAM030211.html "DHS has interpreted "period of stay authorized by the Secretary of Homeland Security," as used in this context, to include:" "For aliens who have properly filed an application for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident (LPR), the entire period of the pendency of the application, even if the application is subsequently denied or abandoned, provided the alien (unless seeking to adjust status under NACARA or HRIFA) did not file for adjustment "defensively" (i.e., after deportation proceedings had already been initiated)"

Thank you so much for the information.

If she is being abused she can stop the AOS process with the abusive spouse and do a VAWA self petition on her own. 

Thanks for the information. She won’t be very open about the real situation. All she keeps repeating  is she wants to go back to her country and be close to family.

You/She would not be the first in this situation 

Yup. But since this is the first time I see someone in this situation, I’m trying to calm her down. It’s kind of sad.

Our case just changed to "ready to be scheduled for interview"- NBC ! Yay!
I remember to heave read that  this means we don´t have to worry anymore about getting an RFE request, can anyone confirm that?

Confirmed!

Nothing will happen. The AOS will be denied and  you will be back in your country. What else you think will happen?

Thanks for your response. I had the chance to have a talk with her last week on messenger and she was thinking that she’d have people coming after her (I really don’t see how that’d be possible) I said it was not likely to happen, but since she is very scared, I decided to ask more experienced people.

And I don’t want to interfere in her decision. Just want to clarify her doubt. 

Hey people! 

Someone asked me this million dollar question: what if I just abandon my AOS and go back to my country?

since I have no clue, I’d like to share her agony with you and see how we could help.

I think she regrets her decision and just wants to disappear. I’m very sorry for her, by the way. She has lost a lot of weight and is getting into depression.

Hi,

I'll be sending out my (k1) AOS packet this week. I arrived here June 23rd and married July 20. My i-94 says Admit Until 9/19, but my k1 visa says it expires December 3rd 2019. I've read that it takes 1-3 weeks for the NOA1, should I be concerned about my i-94 expiry date?

The fastest you file your AOS the better. Now that you are married and have your marriage certificate, those two dates (admission and visa expiration) are irrelevant.

I am by no means an immigration lawyer but if you google INA 245 i, it clearly says that it is for those who normally are ineligible to adjust status due to illegal entrance etc but are allowed to do so under certain conditions. Hence the supplement etc. It is up to you to decide which category you fall into

Thanks for helping me.

Thanks for your help. 

Hello, again, guys!

A K1 fiancée should fill out those parts that say  “receipt number of underlying petition and priority date from underlying petition” in form I-485? 

If yes, should I  refer to my I-129F petition NOA to complete this part?

Thanks a million! 

If someone could help me with this one I’d be very thankful.

In Part 2 of I-485 form (Application type or filling category), I checked the option that mentions “person came to the US as a fiancée..., which belongs to item 1.a family-based.

However when I go to the second question I don’t know what to check: whether yes or no.

The reason I’m confused is because since K1 is included in that family-based part, I’d think I have to tick yes. But I read that if I tick yes that means I need to add supplement A and K1 Visa holders don’t need to fill out this supplement.

Did I make myself clear, people?

So what should I pick for  “Are you applying for adjustment based on the immigration and nationality act (INA) section 245 ( i )?

Yes or No??????

Any help is immensely appreciated. 

Hello guys! 

Well, I admit that this part about having some parts of I-693 filled out or not is puzzling me. 

The more I read, the more confused I get.

I came on a K1 Visa.

I am ready to file my AOS. 

I have the DS 3025 and I’m still confused if I should forward only this DS 3024 or if I need to include any parts of I-693 form. 

Jesus Christ!

This one has been tricky for me.

I’d very much appreciate a concise response of someone who recently filed the AOS to guide me.

Thanks a million.

No fee when filed in conjunction with an i485 

 

Attorneys,  gotta love them.   They keep all your money and you need to go to a free message board to get the correct answer 

I know, right? 

And, btw, the only fees you pay (if you’re filling everything at a time) are the I-485 and biometrics, right? 

No fee for I-131 neither I-765, correct?

Our marriage certificate was similar in that there was no specific section for a name change.  Regardless, a valid marriage certificate functions as a legal document allowing either party to change their family name.  In our case, my wife chose to adopt my family name and with our MC she filed for the AOS with just the MC that does not include a specific name change section and her EAD and GC came with her new family name.  Once those cards arrived, she was able to change her DL and SSC names as well.  If the OP was only changing her family name, then she could have simply filed the AOS with only the MC.

Hey friend. Thanks for the response. I was really in doubt if I could go ahead and do that. I feel relieved now. Thank you so very much.

When filling out your forms they have to match what is on your marriage cert nothing else we do everything as to match your name .

But in my case, my MC came with my maiden name because there was not an option to express my wish to use my husband’s last name.

Then, in the city county, they made me sign my name as it was on my passport (maiden name).

I dont have any other document except for my MC and since  they didn’t allow me to add my husband’s surname because there was not that option when we filed for the marriage license,  I was wondering if I just go ahead and fill out all the forms for the AOS/EAD/Travel parole and affidavit, using my gut feeling that I could do that since I’m forwarding my MC.

Thanks for helping me.
