Sounds good. I thought I would get an RFE if I didn’t include it. I wanted to make sure to add as much supporting documents that I can but you’re right it might not come when it should only causing more delay.

I am filing I-130 concurrent with I-485 and also I-765 so that my wife can work pending AOS. M1 visa expires November 1st. EAD card might not come in until September and OPT is from September-November. Do you recommend that I wait until September to submit packet so I can photocopy both EAD and SSN card and include those as supporting documents or would it be ok to submit applications without it? Just want to make sure I don’t get a delay for not including a copy of EAD card for Form I-765

we have the same bank but i figured it would be easier to keep track of both of our funds by opening a joint account, so that way we didnt have to transfer funds into our personal account and get the amounts mixed up with our personal funds. That way it will be easier to keep track of what we contribute to the joint account and just build it together.

She has her own checkings at a local bank but I didn’t want to join our personal accounts together rather just open a joint checkings at a different bank so we can have multiple accounts. I tried to open a joint account online but it wouldn’t let me do it for a non-US citizen so I think I will just open a checkings and then go to the branch with her in person and ask if I can change my new checkings into a Joint account with her

What documentations do i need to add my foreign spouse to my bank and turn it into a joint account? Would it be better to just open a new joint account at the bank together? I haven’t filed for AOS yet, so does the bank just need to see a passport and valid visa? I want to get this done before visa expires so I can include it in the application for AOS. Also is it worth changing last name and address to mine on the drivers license even if it will expire in 1 month so i can include a copy of that with my AOS packet for proof of bona fide marriage?

What if the EAD card is only valid for 2 months? Can the drivers license be changed to new last name and address and extend expiration date with marriage certificate? Current temp license expires in July. OPT starts July-September

I’m applying for adjustment of status for my wife and I’m stuck on Form I-864. We are both living together in the US with my parents, but currently, I am out of W2 employment work so I don’t meet the 125% poverty level at the moment. Do l still need to fill out Form I-864 for myself and provide my 1099 Tax Returns for the last 3 years? I last filed taxes independently in 2020 and for 2021, my taxes were filed as a dependent under my parent/head of household, who will be my Joint Sponsor. Do I need to provide my old documents or since I am having a Joint Sponsor, is it ok if they fill it out one set and provide all supporting documents showing sufficient funds of more than 125% without any of my documents? I’m not sure if USCIS will accept one set of I-864 solely from the Joint Sponsor or are they expecting 2 sets, one from myself showing my old insufficient tax reports and a 2nd set from the Joint Sponsor showing sufficient funds? Thanks in advance.
