Thank you everyone!

Hi, I'm planning a trip to Florida at the end of the year. I'm in Illinois so we'll fly there. I am currently in the process for marriage based green card (AOS) and I was just wondering if I'd be okay to fly to Florida for a week. So far, I've received receipt notices and had biometrics done. I've just heard about the new bill passed in Florida where it's a felony to bring an undocumented immigrant into Florida. Am I an undocumented immigrant at this time?

Yes, Biometrics has been done so I'm just waiting for medical at this point. I'll take my driving license and marriage license and I'll ask the civil surgeons office when I call to book.

Hi, My UK Passport is going to expire next month and the only other ID I have is a UK driving license with my maiden name on. I'm aware I'll get an RFE for medical in the next few months, (I-485 submitted in January) where I'll need to take ID with me. I have arranged to renew my UK passport and paid the fees and the next step is to send the passport office in England my passport so they can send me a new one with my married name on. So my question is, by the time I have the medical, my UK passport will no longer be valid so I won't be able to use that and may not have a new passport in my possession at the time for the medical and my UK driving license will have my maiden name on so do I take my UK driving license with me, along with a certified copy of marriage license for ID as that will have both maiden and married name on? I'm in Illinois and I can't get a state driving license here without an SSN. So I currently have no ID in my married name.

I filed the I-130, I-485 and I-864 in January and received a RFE for the I-864 and they've asked we resubmit this by middle of May. We were using my mother in law as a joint sponsor but now she has semi retired and my husband is earning way above the minimum income requirements so can now be the sole sponsor. His W2's from last year reflect this. My question is, because we filed with a joint sponsor originally, do we need to file again with a joint sponsor or can we just use my husband?

No I just joined to make this post.

Hi, So I (UK citizen) visited my partner (US citizen) in June and was going to stay for a couple weeks as I was in between employment and thought it the perfect time. We then got engaged and decided to elope and get married at the start of August as neither of us cared for a big wedding. I then decided to stay in America for the whole 90 days as per my ESTA and had plans to go home and start consular processing at the end of August. A few weeks after the wedding, I felt unwell and decided to take a pregnancy test which said we were 1-2 weeks pregnant. We then looked into our options and saw I could adjust status from The US because we were married. We started the process of gathering documents etc and filed the i-130 pretty quickly and sent lots of evidence of our relationship with that. Whilst preparing to file the i-485, I had a chemical pregnancy and was no longer pregnant. We hadn't yet scheduled a doctors appointment regarding the pregnancy. Our main concern now is that we've lost our main reason for me adjusting status and I'm now out of status. We've paid for and started the immigration process and after the loss, I don't want to be away from my husband. I have been looking online for information and I came across this article which has terrified me - www.citizenpath.com/90-day-rule-adjusting-status because staying here, getting married or even engaged was not on the agenda when I got here in June but I don't have a lot of things to back that up such as current employment or car payments. I did pay my monthly rent on my apartment in the UK the day I got here as I was still renting at the time and im still paying monthly for my UK phone bill, UK credit card and have two active UK bank accounts. I'm just looking for advice on what to do now. The article above has made me feel so much anxiety and upset on top of everything. I'm thinking about getting advice from an immigration attorney but is it too late considering we've already submit the i-130?
