Filling in my I485 and gotten to the below segment I am from the UK and finished highschool at year 11, I'm not sure what I should tick that reflects this. Any help appreciated

Hello, Me and my Wife will be filing for my AOS this week, we currently live with her parents, during the filing for the i864 what would we put as the household size? Would we just put herself as my only sponsor or would we need to included her parents and siblings also? Or would we only need to put her parents if my Wife doesn’t earn over the poverty line even if she isn’t paying for the house? Thanks

different how? I believed once we register the common law marriage with the state that declaration of marriage would be in placement of the “regular” signed marriage license? Timeline is one reason and the main is due to my girlfriend having severe anxiety, courthouse wedding even if small in scale is a big thing for her. Would be more comfortable and preferable if we could do common law.

Even if we register the common law marriage with the state afterwards? This isn’t enough for USCIS?

Any examples of the evidence you’d send for long distance relationship? I have pictures i will date of the other time I visited last year, but is it just chat logs etc? We plan on setting up a joint check in soon, we also currently live with her parents so it’s not like she even has any bills to pay for house wise at the moment either.

was planned to stay for 3 weeks vacation with my long distance gf, one thing led to the other and here we are. I see people doing AOS sending in months worth of joint accounts, bills, insurance etc because of this being an unplanned thing we don’t have any of that yet, hence why i’m wondering if waiting past my 90 days would be worth doing.

That’s fair and thank you for your views, was more so just the possibility of being deported however that could happen. Those 3 things you mentioned aren’t an issue for me it’s mainly the risk from overstaying. so it’s forgiven when married? I read in an earlier reply it’s only forgiven once filled for the AOS?

So overall better to file before the 90 days with less bona fide evidence than overstay until we have more?

Yes the person i’m marrying is a US citizen. EAD is a no go unless i also file for i485 as i thought so never mind about that just wondered.

is it worth the risk for overstaying? Would that effect my application due to technically staying illegally before filing?

Hello! Soon to be married within the next two weeks and then going to file for AOS. After the beginning of April the 90 days my ESTA allows me to be here will be over. Is it worth rushing to get everything filed (filling in forms, medical etc) and sending it before then? Or would going over that 90 days before filing negatively effect my application? If we waited longer to file it, maybe it could help give us time to set up joint accounts, payments etc for evidence of bona fide marriage? Also if waiting isn’t a foolish choice, is it possible to apply for the AED still? I doubt it but was wondering as this would allow us to get more joint bills etc. Any advice is appreciated

Thank you! Informal marriage is just the name they use for the service so not sure what else to call it but i knew it was different than your “typical” marriage/wedding

I know it will still be legal it’s just that’s literally what the service they offer is called. I will question if we will receive a certificate afterwards as that is important.

Texas, going to the county clerks office for a license. Which then they provide the service for the informal marriage also.

Common law marriage. We didn’t have this planned before i came into the country, was here for a month visit but things changed.
