Today's stats: Not a lot of movement November 2024 Filed I-485 Stats • Approved: 169 • Denied: 85 • FingerprintScheduled: 357 • InterviewCancelled: 3 • InterviewScheduled: 116 • Processing: 38,056 • Received: 845 • Rejected: 110 • RFE: 2,325 • Terminated: 96 • Others: 97

Just make sure you put all the applications in 1 envelope - That's what Jaycel and I did and her I-765 was accepted and approved in 51 days

$260 when filed concurrently with the I-485

This is enough to protect yourself If USCIS grants your request to withdraw the I-130 then this is not necessary

Seems like yesterday/today (Whenever they update the actual case date) have been slow for USCIS - Almost no movement at all on any of the categories for the I-485 stats for November filers

Getting the address corrected is the big thing.... If they want you to explain, they'll ask

File the form now

We took our digital pictures and inserted them into a Microsoft word document, added text boxes underneath with descriptions, people, dates, etc. We also took screen shots of a bunch of our Facebook Messenger chats and did the same thing. Then we scanned boarding passes, hotel reservations, AirBnb reservations, passport stamps, etc. and put them all together in a timeline of our meetings.

Same... we figured that the only way Jaycel would travel before receiving her green card is in an emergency anyway

I think that's your best bet.... That way they can't hit you later with another RFE for the 2024 taxes. We just uploaded my 2024 Tax Return Transcript to the case file online for her I-485 last week.

CFO, Visa and receipt showing you paid the exit tax are all I can think of

Yes I think you explained it perfectly. Sorry to cause angst at this stage. I just didn’t want that to come back on you later

You are still admissible as the immediate relative of a US Citizen but you have to declare that you violated the terms of your nonimmigrant status because at the time you are filing, you are out of status and you have accrued unlawful presence since Jan 31. That's the way I read it anyway (K1 Visa Hopeful too) It's all forgiven in the AOS process. Those bars to inadmissibility do not apply to you. But you have to be transparent about it.

Thanks for weighing in @K1visaHopeful Sorry guys.... didn't want this to caome back and bite you all later

Yeah, as I was reading those questions, I was like "If we were filing Jaycel's package after the 90 days, how would I answer?" And I wasn't sure.... And yes thankfully, any unauthorized stay is forgiven

Yes... but those questions are not asking that. They are asking if you ever violated the terns of your nonimmigrant status and if you have been unlawfully present. I'm not sure if USCIS considers the time here after the 90 days allowed by the K-1 and before you file a violation of the terms of the nonimmigrant status and acccruing unlawful status. That's why I tagged the more experienced users

Just thought of something while I was looking at the I-485 and would like the opinion of some of the more experienced members here @K1visaHopeful @Ontarkie @OldUser @Crazy Cat - For these folks that are now resubmitting after their rejections and are now past the 90 day mark, on the I-485 Part 9. General Eligibility and Inadmissibility Grounds, should they answer "Yes" to questions 13 & 76? 13. Have you EVER violated the terms or conditions of your nonimmigrant status? 76. Since April 1, 1997, have you been unlawfully present in the United States? You were unlawfully present in the United States if you were present in the United States after the expiration of the period of stay authorized by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary or were present in the United States without being admitted or paroled.

Yes... Your husband's mame goes below that in the Credit Card Billing Info and you put his name exactly as it appears on the card

@TBoneTX provided guidance from two attorneys on another post asking this the other day and they said this status should be "K-1 Entrant - Adjustment Applicant"

If you're still within the 90 days, yes. If not then you are "K-1 Entrant - Adjustment Applicant"

Yeah we looked at a lot of timeline info and decided that it wasn't worth the money either. Especially since a lot of people were getting the green card approval before the I-131 was approved.

Yeah that's from their scanning all the stuff in. Might be a good idea to get everything fresh and when you send the package back in, put that neon colored paper on top so they'll know this is a resubmission and that will explain the printing on the bottom of your marriage certificate.

I cannot imagine that being an issue

It does say to list periods of unemployment or retirement so I would list your unemployment first and then previous employment
