@kingpups Sponsor must submit I-865 for address changes.

LPR must submit AR-11 unless it's an online application. Did your spouse file N-400 online?

 

Just read the instructions

Thank you for your reply. Maybe my post wasn't clear. My husband is currently waiting for his interview to recieve lpr. He currently has no status. And all our applications are pending. He submitted the AR-11 online. But the contact center said scolded him for not submitting the AR-11 AND updating his online account. But nowhere in the instructions does it say you need to do both

Also on my uscis online account, i attempted to update my address online under my profile as directed by the contact center and it has a warning exclamation symbol and says that I cannot update my mailing or physical address at this point during the adjudication. I spoke with the contact center about this and they put in a service request to change my address, took down my new addresses, and then told me i would be contacted. he told me multiple times that I do not need to do anything else like turning in a I-865, he said that is not necessary, but i called back to get a second opinion and the woman i spoke with said that because i am a sponsor on my husbands case, that i must submit a I-865. Im so confused! I dont want to do the wrong thing, any words of advise would be greatly appreciated! 

Hi, I am experiencing this right now. I am the petitioner on my husbands I-485 case. We moved out the state we were living in when we submitted our original applications. So this move will also effect our interview location and office that processes our case. He submitted the Ar-11 in June when he moved. He received the email confirmation so we assumed that it was taken care of. I just moved this past week to live with him again ( i had stayed at our old address while he got our new place sorted out for our family, we have a child) and i went on our uscis online accounts to check on things and to look into what i need to do to change my address ie. form I-865 since i am also a sponsor for him. When i looked at his account it still says his our old address! I was shocked and worried. So i spoke with the USCIS contact center and they confirmed that they only have the old address on file and could not tell me if the AR-11 was ever received. They scolded me and said they you are suppossed to update your online account as well as submit the AR-11, but no where on the website or instructions does it say this. 

Does anybody have any words of guidance? Its been 4 months now since my husband moved. The new state oklahoma, that we moved too., has a much shorter processing time than the old state california, and we were hoping that would help our case move faster but now it seems that this could have delayed our case

Definitely make a copy. Send one back with the RFE, whether original or copy. But the most important, make a copy!!

Yes, thank you. I will definitely make a copy either way, but do you know what forms to send in with your reply (the original pink forms that were sent to me, or a photocopy?)

Do I submit the original Request for Evidence forms (pink color pages) when responding to an RFE? In my RFE that i received, it says to "Please include a copy of ALL pages of this letter with your response". But everywhere that i see online says to include the original forms and make a copy to keep in your records.

Thank you

You haven't asked for help or asked a question.  When you do, you might get a meaningful response.

When submitting the I-130a again for the RFE should I resubmit evidence listed for the I-130?

Since our child is now here and we have a birth certificate and social security card for him, should i submit that along with the other requested documents?

Should I send original RFE forms or should I send copies?

My husband and I forfeited our k1 visa after not hearing anything for 1 1/2 years. We got married here in the US and have filed for AOS. We received a request for evidence for forms and documents that we had submitted in the original AOS packet. My questions are regarding if there is any additional evidence for the I-130a form specifically, seperate from the evidence that you include with the I-130. Should I resubmit the evidence that we had included with the I-130? As well as my questions above regarding our sons birth certificate and the RFE form

Hi,

  My husband and I filed an AOS in September 2021. We received a request for evidence in January asking for Form 130A as well as our marriage certificate and my birth certificate (petitioners). We had submitted all of these documents requested but who knows maybe they lost them or they got mixed up. 

I am putting together the requested documents and there are a few things that are unclear.

1. For Form I-130A, there is no specific list of evidence to provide for the supplemental (I-130A) form in and of itself. So when we originally submitted it, we provided all neccessary evidence for form I-130, and included I-130a with that form. I started to wonder though if we missed something and looked up if there is evidence required for I-130a. On the USCIS website it does not list anything separate from the evidence needed for I-130. But on blog sites and forums its lists pretty much the evidence needed for I-130 should also be included for I-130a. When submitting the I-130a again for the RFE should I resubmit evidence listed for the I-130? Please see attatchment for list that I found on a blog site. ( it does not have a list of evidence for the I-130a anywhere on the USCIS website. Only that the I-130a should be submitted with all required evidence with the I-130

2. I was pregnant when we submitted my husbands AOS, and since our child has been born. In our original AOS packet that we sent in we submitted proof of pregnancy as well as photos of me pregnant as evidence of a bonafide marriage and relationship. Since our child is now here and we have a birth certificate and social security card for him, should i submit that along with the other requested documents? Note, they did not specifically ask for this, but i just wondered if it should be sent along with the I-130a form

3. Last, on the Request for Evidence letter I received it says to include a copy of all the pages in the request when i send in the requested documents. But on all blog pages and forums talking about request for evidence and how to approach it, it says to include the original pages. It is pretty obvious which ones are the original and which ones are the copy because the original are printed on light pink paper and my copies are on white paper

thank you for the help!

Thank you! Thats what I was trying to find but hard to find information like that. I called one of the civil surgeon offices today and asked about this and he said that even if my husbands medical was completed and sent off before october 1st, he would have to have the covid vaccine because by the time his app would be looked at it would be required. I think he was just trying to scare us honestly

Your 1099s are supporting evidence for your tax forms, not as supporting evidence of current annual income.....including unemployment as CURRENT annual income is problematic as it cannot be continued for the next 12 months.  I would indicate 0$ for current annual income.

yes I see why that would be problematic, Thank  you!

If you are unemployed, your current annual income is $0....unless you have other forms of recurring income.

Well yes my annual income is $0 from earned income but I have been receiving unemployment compensation which they say to provide any 1099 forms (tax form) so  I thought they might want proof of unemployment payments

Last year's tax return is required (or reason why you didn't need to file).  Years 2 and 3 are optional.

Thank you! If my only income for the last 6 months has been unemployment, do I need to provide documentation of the payments I have received as a substitute for the 6 months of check stubs?

You are the primary sponsor, and you have all the same requirements as the joint sponsor.

ok thank you! that is a big help

i see, thank you for sharing this, i hadnt seen it on the cdc page yet

we're unsure, the covid vaccine is the only one that was age appropriate or that he didnt have from before, and since it wasnt mandated yet we were hoping we were able to slide in our application before it was required

I just saw that the covid 19 vaccine has been mandated starting October 1st for green card applicants. My husband just had his medical exam and did not receive this vaccine as it was not required yet. Will his medical exam be denied since he does not have this vaccine, if we dont get the full application turned in before October 1st?

My husband is applying for AOS. My brother will be our joint sponsor as I am currently unemployed due to Covid-19, and was not previously making enough to sponsor my husband on my own. Do i still need to fill out the I-864, and provide my tax returns for the last 3 years? or do I just fill out the form and not provide documentation since I will not be the sponsor

Here's a detailed report from a VJ member who successfully got a vaccine waiver based on religious/moral grounds --

 

lovely! thank you so much! this is a huge help

Just now, Crazy Cat said:

Yes.  The I-130 is the basis for the I-485.  

ok yes i see that, is the I-130 filed concurrently or before the I-485? I see that their are different conditions for either option and I'm not sure which applies to us

Just now, Crazy Cat said:

Then an I-130 is required.

even if he is currently in the US?

A lawyer that we spoke with advised that we could send the I-601 concurrently when we submit the medical exam with the I-485, is that incorrect?

We are not filing under a k-1 visa, but rather we got married and are going straight for adjustment of status from a tourist visa

My spouse is in the united states, we got married in April and are starting the application process for lawful permanent resident. I am a US citizen and he is from the UK. I am preparing the I-485 application and started to question whether we needed to file form I-130 either before I-485 or concurrently. We have spoken with a lawyer in the past and they never mentioned I-130, as I was previously under the impression that was used when you spouse was outside the US

During the medical exam, since they do not drug test specifically unless a reason (suspicion) is found to do so, could they detect marijuana in the blood or urine sample?

Does anybody have any experience or knowledge about filing form I-601 in conjunction with form I-485 to receive a waiver for the required vaccines for immigration under religious or moral objection?

Wondering how often these are granted?

How to prove sincere objection? (What evidence to provide)

*I've also seen that if you file concurrently with form I-485 that you do not need to pay the $930 filing fee (is this correct?)

Thank you!
