    I-485 filers are not "illegal". Yes, there is some percentage of overstayers, but many more adjusting their status from work visas, student visas, K-1 and other valid statuses. I wouldn't label this large group of people as illegals.

    You're not applying. Your fiance starts the process. Your location should not matter at this stage.

    If you visit twice this year and once next year (April-June) that's plenty of visits. If you travel too often you'll risk getting in trouble with CBP. It's not a one way road either. You fiance can visit you and kids back in your home country. I wouldn't renew ESTA with 1 year still on it. Don't forget, ESTA can also be denied... No application = no denial.

    Congrats! Why not CR-1? You don't technically apply for K-1. Your US citizen fiance files I-129F at this stage.
  5. OldUser
    Yes, that's the right category. This only works if you file I-765 with I-485 or while I-485 is pending.

    I'd answer "no" since you were not a subject and attach scan of J1 visa or DS-2019 (this might be even better)

    @MMara here is why:

    You absolutely should bring your spouse and be ready for combo.

    Not sure where this comes from. Before the oath you will be asked whether you had any trips between interview and oath date. You can list those. As long as you're not barely meeting physical presence and continuous residence requirements that a short trip would disrupt, you should be fine. I wouldn't travel, but you're free to if you need to.

    Gotta file I-90 ASAP
  11. OldUser
    Don't you have an old GC + extension letter? You can travel with those no problem
  12. OldUser
    No. But is her GC already expired or about to expire? No
  13. OldUser
    Resident since date + 2 years - 90 days If Resident Since date on GC is April 25 2024, then you should file I-751 no later than April 25 2026. Ideally within 90 days window prior to the date, which would any time after January 25, 2026. I'd recommend aiming for first week of February 2026.
  14. OldUser
    No issue at all. As everybody already said, GC supercedes any US visas in your passports. You can also safely renew your passport if it's close to expiration. Majority of European countries will allow to renew passport online and will return your old passport by post if it has any active visas. And make sure to file I-751 sometime in April / May of 2026 depending on Residence Since date on GC (within 90 days of 2 year anniversary)

    This should not be an issue if you carry your receipt for I-485. Yes, name should match the ID.

    Your entry to Mexico depends on passport. If passport requires visa, you need to get visa first. Based on the name, I made an assumption you're a Indian national. Indian passport does not grant visa free travel to Mexico, so visa is needed to enter Mexico. Advance parole generally allows reentry to the US while I-485 is pending.

    I think you should be fine travelling, but nobody can give you 100% guarantee it will be smooth. Especially lawyers because their reputation is on the line.

    Why do you want to work for a company that laid you off?
  19. OldUser
    Attorneys always suggest the safest approach. If I understand correctly, if somebody's I-485 is denied while they're out of the US, they'd have to council process. In addition, any time they waited in the US solely on I-485 and didn't have any other status, they'd accrue unlawful presence. Given OPs long history in the US, there's also always a chance a CBP in bad mood can treat such returning alien poorly. Once OP gets GC, they're in much better place. No travel = 100% no issue Travel = Some chance of issue Given OP already spent 13 years in the US continuously, spending another 6-12 months until GC in hand doesn't seem out of place.

    It's always best to find a third party without conflict of interest. I don't believe it's an official requirement but it just makes sense. Spanish is a wide spoken language. You can certainly find somebody speaking both languages. Online translation agencies should not cost a fortune (probably under $50)

    1. Was marriage certificate provided? 2. Have you ever lived together? 3. How many times did you visit each other in the last year or so?

    The reason it is asked for, so letters can be delivered to the beneficiary.

    Those estimates are largely inaccurate. Good luck!

    But how did you get any official documention in this name that didn't match your legal name at birth? Say your passport... Did you just use different name and whoever issued your passport was OK with name not matching birth certificate?
