I am on STEM OPT, adjusting from F1, and curious about the answer to the Question 15. I am unsure whether I need to enter the end date of my STEM OPT EAD card, or leave it as D/S which is written in my I-94? Problem with the first option is, there is still a grace day to stay so technically it is not the exact "end date" Any thoughts on this new question? Thank you.

Hello all, I noticed that in I-693, Part 5, Applicant's Identification Number, the preparer entered: Form of Identification: Passport Document Identification Number: "Here they entered my 'Personal Identification No.' available in my passport" However, I am pretty sure they needed to enter the Passport No. right? I am using my passport no. in other files such as i485 and so on, I am not sure why they entered my "personal identification no" that I have never used outside my home country. Is this part important, should I ask them to re-do the whole thing? They put so many vaccination evidence etc. too so I do not want them to miss something else in the second go. Any help or experience with this is appreciated.

I think because I filed online i765s previously, and all went through quickly without RFEs, so I wanted go with the system I am more accustomed to (upload pdf, online signature, online payment, etc.)

Hello OldUser, Firstly, thank you for your help throughout to me and to everyone over the years. It is highly appreciated. Me and my spouse is currently California based too! We have been leaning toward submitting our case online because we are dealing with a lot of messy evidence pieces. If we were scanning everything for a paper submission, it would be turning into way too many documents. We have been worrying that if USCIS were the ones scanning the documents, there could be a chance of them putting a file in the wrong place or scanning something incorrectly. I am just starting to look into how the online process works, but we are not fully decided yet. Honestly, I will probably go out-of-status and just leave the country at this point, because every single decision takes days for me to decide. Currently I am stuck at entering N/A to everywhere (I am worried that I should leave some place blank such as middle name etc.) and I am not even sure if I am doing a good job with it...

Hello all, Firstly, thanks for all the help in last couple of weeks here, I feel like we are almost ready to apply and figuring out the payment stuff and lockbox locations and final evidence etc. Our info: I am the beneficiary married to USC, adjusting from F1. If my spouse applies I-130 (and I-130A) online after creating their own USCIS account, I understand I receive a receipt and submit that with the application. Will the priority date be available in the receipt? Is there anything else I need to fill out or update in any of the forms? Thank you!

Interesting, this is what I have in the final version of I-864 form, that is why I was using the "adjusted gross income" in IRS forms: With that being said, is that correct for everyone who files taxes married-filing-jointly. I guess the answer is "sure, why not?" but I wanted to make sure...

Hello all, I realized I am not too sure on the income and tax information still... Me: Beneficiary, makes around 70k Spouse: Petitioner, marriage-based, makes around 68k Only two of us are the household members. Please let me know if my understanding below is correct: In I-864: Individual income will be 68k. Proof will be an HR statement? Total income is 138k or something like that, because we filed jointly and that is the adjusted gross income I see in our 1040 tax return transcript. But then I included my own income to the mix, is that a problem? USCIS website says below, and not sure how to proceed: If you included the income of the intending immigrant who is your spouse (he or she would be counted in Part 5., Item Number 1.), you must provide evidence that his/her income will continue from the current source after obtaining lawful permanent resident status. Can I receive some help if you know or have applied after filing taxes jointly? I am a bit confused about how I can provide that evidence of continued work, and my spouse already makes enough. Thank you for the help, I cannot understand the process by myself at all... It would be helpful if someone also very quickly discussed what evidence/information I need for the tax purposes...

Sorry to revive this post and be bother, but is this the official tax transcript? We filed jointly, so we were planning to submit W2 to show my spouse's actual income. Otherwise, the one we report is made by two of us together but I am the beneficiary so I cannot use my own income to support myself. Should I include W2 (if yes, is it last three years?) because we filed jointly?

Thank you for your answers and help. Would this answer also apply to question 2, where I list anything and everything as correctly as possible although it makes the list really long.

Hello all, Hopefully new users can ask multiple questions in one post. I am currently an F1 student thinking of possibly adjusting, married to my US citizen partner for 2.5+ years. I have some questions that I cannot move past, because I do not want to apply incorrectly and receive an RFE or even worse a rejection. 1. Form I-864 - Tax and Income: In 2024 and 2023, we filed our taxes jointly. I am unsure what to exactly submit for those. We found 2024 tax receipt transcript on IRS website, but it is titled "Form 1040 Tax Return Transcript" and not "Tax Return Transcript" I see posted by many other people. Is it okay or are we finding an incorrect document? Then, the total income seems too large because my income is also added to the "Total Income" part, should we still enter that value in I-864, and submit W2s to show our individual income? 2. Military Service - 1. I did (mandatory) military service in past 5 years for a month. I will include that information in i485. My question is, should I include that 1 month in my previous places I lived? Since I was living in a separate place and sleeping there and such. However, I am worried about oversharing info because my places I lived looks like this, it seems too extra? I would like your opinions on this: a. US new house b. US old house 1 c. Home country house d. Military address in home country e. Home country house f. US old house 1 g. US old house 2 3. Form I-485 - Organizations? I understand military service should be included in the "organizations" I am involved in, I did military service for a month in one summer past 5 years. Should I also include student chapter things I was involved in during my studies? I did not really do much except going to some meetings, and organizing student events (bring coffee to office kind of very casual). We greatly appreciate any help we can find here.
