People are saying that Taxi Driver is a good job for olds.

OP can stay here and reapply for AOS. But she needs to have a suitable sponsor and do the paperwork correctly.

Yes. That's why I'm confused as to why photos are submitted with an initial application.

Yes. That's why I'm confused as to why photos are submitted with an initial application.

Who says they are?

A lot of people probably do it. You could say it is a part of "other evidence of a bona fide marriage". But others follow the instructions, pick something on their list, and do not send additional photos. I did not send any photos (except the required passport photos).

On the interview letter I do believe it specifically says to bring pictures of your life together.

I guess what I'm confused about is if we submit pictures and that type of "evidence" now, or do we wait until an interview?

The answer you seek is in the form instructions. Have you found those? They are separate from the forms themselves.

The I-130 instructions ask for at least one piece of evidence for proof of bona fide marriage. Follow the instructions to a T. Don't fall for silly lawyer advice. They want you to think that there is special "secret" info when there is not.

I filed the day after our wedding and we only had affidavits, fulfilling the instructions requirements.

Doesn't matter what the dates are (post-marriage birth, etc). The discrepancy is enough to make them think that this person is not her real father. It is fairly common that people try to petition for other people that are not really their relatives using falsified documents.

Thanks alot Beth and Acharf. I have the paperwork printed out and I am going to get them filled out this before the week is over. Then work on getting referral letters and proof ect. Someone suggested that I wait 90 days to file them. We I'm going to reschedule his 01/11 ticket home to sometime in March and perhaps take my time.

I never knew this would be so confusing and difficult, the whole immigration process. It is beyond overwhelming with so many people and articles online that contradict each other. I just dont know whats legal and whats not and I definitely don't want to mess anything up.

Hey palmer,

You don't need to read online anymore. You don't need to search and read articles. You have been given the correct list of items per your situation (in the first reply), so now you just need to fill those forms out and follow the instructions for the forms found at uscis.gov.

Read each line, fill it out. Slow and steady. Answer the questions. It's like doing paper taxes or filling out a very long application for a driver's license. Good luck.

You can submit a service request on the EAD and AP which can get your working. They will take action past 90 days. I hope the document that was returned was not your EAD but I have a feeling it was. Wait a couple of says then call back, ask for a Tier 2 person, and demand (nicely) a service request on the EAD and AP.

Did you put that he was a derivative or something in the options? It is odd that they would think that he is here. You can't file I-485 for him since he is not here.

Follow the guide linked in the first reply and check out the AOS from student, work, tourist visas forum for advice specific to your situation. Good luck.

No restriction on type of work on EAD.

The point of the interview is to be yourself and take it seriously. If he wears a suit every day then that is him being himself. A suit is also serious enough; it's not pajamas and therefore appropriate for an interview. Don't worry any more about it.

Lots of misinformation here.

An immigrant may count any legal income in the US as long as they can show that the income will continue from the same source after the GC is received. You will need a letter from your employer stating such.

And unless there are other immigrants, you as the spouse of a USC can add your income to the I-864. You don't need a separate I-864. It explains this in the instructions.

What did the notice say? What did you put in family name? Did you leave it blank? You may have to make your first name your family name, I have seen people with "First name unknown" but last name might be a required field. If you explain what exactly happened it will help.

No. He doesn't and never had one.

Highly unlikely he would get one anyway, making idea one impossible.

He lies and changes his mind all the time, so I don't know how these "statements" are supposed to be helpful. It's just branding and feelgoods with no specifics.

True, but interest or investment returns on that money is income. Even more, a foreign bank/investment account must be reported to the IRS even if it only has one drachma in it.

But that's a whole different discussion not related to OP's inquiry.

Only bank accounts with lots of cash must be reported. I think the minimum is $10K USD. Not any account with one drachma.

This is all just spreading misinformation.

Your supposition is accurate. Once your fiancé is a US legal permanent resident, there may be tax consequences on worldwide income.

Money in a bank is not income.

Of course it's okay. What would the problem be?
