Hi,

I currently have my AOS pending, we just got the i-797 notice of action saying that both of our i-130 and i-130a were received. I wondered, can i use these documents to update my number with the Social Security Administration?

Hi there,

I sent my packed about 3 weeks ago and i got a message in my phone today “USCIS: your case was received. Official receipt notice (I-797) to follow in mail. DO NOT REPLY”

Do you know when my check will be cashed from here?

THANKS 

should i notorize my birth certificate translation? what are the Pros and cons?

It makes no difference at all.  

can you elaborate?

Hi,

we’re currently doing an AOS and we have to option to have the lawyer sign our papers as a preparer (or don’t have him since them since we prepared it and he just double checked).

For USCIS is it “better” to have papers signed by a lawyer? Does it look better? does it make any difference?

How to prove that my wife added me as an authorized user to her credit cards? Should we scan the credit cards? Should we look on the website of the banks to see if it’s displayed? 

The problem is, my wife has multiple people as authorized user and we don’t want to display all the names, would it be OK to edit de pictures so we show to immigration that i’m an authorized user? I don’t want them to think we’re hiding anything, but also we don’t want to display infos of other people!

Maybe you guys can help us! 

 it doesn’t apply. in the thread her husband is a greencard holder. in my case my husband is a US citizen and overstay is fine.

I think it is recommended you file BEFORE your grace period begins 

It’s too late!

I’m currently filling an AOS and when we file i will be under my J-1 visa “grace period”

“During this 30-day grace period, participants are no longer in J-visa status, and are under the jurisdiction of the USCIS. The USCIS grants this period to allow participants to settle their affairs and to prepare to return to their home countries.”

Then, on the form I-485 the #24 is “what is your current immigration status.”

What should i answer to that?

Because they don't give a ratsass about minor moving violations.  Nothing you mention give rise to a crime involving moral turpitude 

thank you for your message. i know it might sound stupid for me ask this but your answer made me feel better lol. I’m so nervous

I’m in earnest! What makes you think that it’s not a big deal?

No 

are you sure?

Hey,

I’m filling my form I-485 and I have to be honest and add my 2 traffic offenses. They are minor (expired license plate and address not updated on my drivers license) could that affect me negatively?

Thank you!!

Hi there,

I recently got a speeding ticket and i was thinking if this could affect my AOS application? We’re sending the papers soon and they ask many questions and crimes. Like if i ever committed a crime of any sort etc. Do you know is a speeding ticket could affect me in any ways? 
 

Thanks for your help!

OP,  eventually your GC application will end up at a local field office (LFO), which is based on your residential zip code.  You can find out which LFO will be yours on USCIS.gov, and then you can look at the I-485 processing times for that LFO.

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ this was the answer i was looking for!!!! thanks so so much

Do you know what NBC is? All marriage AOS is adjudicated by the NBC before it's sent to your local field office. ALL.

NEVERMIND

These are not field offices. These are service centers. Like I said, you send your marriage based AOS to the Chicago lockbox and they will send it to the NBC. That's the service center that will handle your case, like everyone's else.

Yes, but it doesn’t answer the main question... They will send it to the NBC location based on what? Based on when we filled? Or is it random?

Everyone sends the forms to same location, Chicago, the sorts out the paperwork and sends them to the NBC and when it's time for the interview, the NBC sends to an office based on your zip code.

No, i’m not even talking about that.

What i mean is that i see on the USCIS website different field offices (california, potomac, nebraska etc...) and depending on where some forms are sent, it takes more or less time for them to be processed. How do we know where is it gonna wind up????

Hey,

Quick question, we’re applying for an AOS from the US (we live in Washington DC) and i have a question regarding the field offices. We haven’t sent our papers yet but: How do we know in which field office our papers are gonna be sent??? Is it based on the location? or is it random ????

Affidavits are desperation evidence.   Concentrate on other things 

like what? what are the top 5 evidences for you?

Hey,

Im currently doing an AOS and i have one question: do Affidavit letter need to come from Americans? And, can I for example ask to a friend to write one for me if he didn't meet my futur husband?

Thanks

Hi there,

i’m currently filling an AOS based on marriage and in many forms the are asking for parents informations. Only my mom appears on my birth certificate since my father is unknown. Do you think this could be a problem for me ??????

Hi i got married in NYC in February and after i uploaded the completed license on Project Cupid i was told it would take 5-6 weeks minimum for the certificate to come through. I contacted the city clerk and told them i really needed the certificate for immigration purposes and they had it sent out to me literally 2 days after i messaged them. 

thanks for your answer! Ugh, 6 weeks is a lot!

Hi there,

I’m getting married in NY soon and we need the marriage license ASAP, and we’re chatting with an officiant and she says “When couples get married in person in NY, it generally takes up to 5 weeks to receive the recorded marriage license.“

I have heard that some people have the marriage license right away. How come? Does it depend on the officiant? What should we do to get it right away?

Can someone please help me? 

Hey,

quick question, i’m getting married in 2 weeks and then i’m planning to travel with my hubby. Is that ok if i book the flights with my old name? (on my ID it’s my old name)

THANKS!
