I would recogment to separate the payments to two 535 and 1225. That is if one of the forms ends up getting rejected for missing signiture or incomplete or something similar and you did write one check they will have to reject both 130 and 1485, however if you wrote separate check and only one is with errors they will proceed the other one. It happened to my frined and that is what the attorney told ger that!

Thank you! Do you think it's necessary to include a certified divorce certificate or just the record from the courts?

@Fancyaa, you would include all the evidence of bona fide marriage with the I-130. You can include evidence since the time you met, if you feel that would strengthen the petition. 

 

To answer your other question - yes, often times, officers choose to adjudicate the petition based on the evidence you send initially. That is why it is best to follow the I-130 directions and send as much evidence as you can with the petition.

great advice, thank you!

Wooo hoo!! My husband actually got his EAD combo card in the mail yesterday but we requested to expedite it on 5/27 so no way knowing how it would've went had we not done that. I was pretty shocked when I got the update that interview was scheduled! You can try asking a rep through Emma to see if you can find out the date... it worked for us! I was too impatient to wait for the notice to come and figured it was worth a shot, lol. I'd assume yours will be around the same time! I'm anxious!!! We do have a lawyer! Do you? 

What was your reason to expedite ?

Tell me if I am posting in the wrong topic!! I am currently on an L1A- married an American and submitted my adjustment of status back in September.... here is the timeline...

 

My question is- what can I do to speed up the EAD process? I am getting VERY nervous and VERY anxious to leave my current place of employment (that sponsors my visa). 

 

I130	Petition for Alien Relative
9/17/2020	We received your Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative.
4/6/2021	We sent a request for initial evidence for your Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative.
4/15/2021	Response To USCIS' Request For Evidence Was Received
I765	Application for Employment Authorization
9/29/2021	Case Was Received
I485	Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status
9/17/2021	We received your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status.
9/29/2021	We accepted the fingerprint fee for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. Our National Benefits Center location is working on your case.
3/17/2021	The fingerprints relating to your Form I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, were taken.
5/6/2021	Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for An Interview

You’ve been waiting 9 months for the EAD? Do you have your interview date? You’ll likely get your green card before or about the same time. That seems to be the trend in some I’ve seen

If this topic has been answered please point me there. I am filing an i130 together with an i485 for my spouse. 
 

in the instructions for the i485 it doesn’t ask for evidence like pictures and combined bills etc. do you only take that to the interview?

I had compiled a lot of evidence to include like pictures my travel before he came here etc to include but I don’t see a place where they are asking for that 

the i130 asks for proof but it’s specific to bills, support statements, a lease etc. nothing about pictures and other evidence I thought I could include like our therapy records, our joint medical stuff, our traditional wedding plans etc. 

I’m trying to be careful because my husband and I actually got a divorce, he came here on k1. We have withdrew that petition, reconciled and are now going this route. The first time we did the i485 I recall sending pictures. I’ve  heard a lot of times the officer doesn’t look at your evidence you bring to the interview but I want to do this the right way 

what did you send if you filed the i130 and i485 together? I’m Also including the i130 supplemental, affidavit of support, i765 and AP 

also both applications as for passport photos and a marriage certificate. So do I include those twice?

will we send one $1760 check for the 3 fees - ($535 + $1140 + $85) or the $535 is separate from the $1125 AOS fee?

The first AOS application is no longer valid as the marriage on which it is based has already ended.  A new I-130 petition and I-485 application must be filed based on the 2nd marriage.

 

Would it be a I-130 or still a I-485 based on a k-1? Or because now “technically” you didn’t marry within 90 days so it can’t be based on k-1?

If you get divorced while a marriage based AOS is pending but then you reconcile and get married again, can you use the original application submitted or do you have to refile a new petition based on the second marriage? The initial petition is still active and hasn’t been called for an interview with the covid delays it has given some wiggle room
