Thank you!!

I went to the guides and there is says:

You should mail the completed form(s) to the USCIS Chicago Lockbox (Note the PO Box address for your filing type: Form I-130 with Form I-485). Mail the package with return receipt requested / delivery confirmation. Send via USPS.

I clicked on the USCIS Chicago Lockbox and it brings me to here but these are not address for Chicago (are these the correct locations to send now:

when you file an adjustment of status you also file a I-130 concurrently with that for the complete package so that is why I worded my question the way I did.  Also you don't have to be rude in your comments.

Can someone else give me the proper input.  Thank you.

but concurrently file an I-130 along with that...

Ok.  So I've received some yes responses and some no responses so I'm confused as to who is right and who is wrong. 

Is this form necessary to file when filing an Adjustment of Status?  I've read different things so I need confirmation.

Boiler  - thank you.

Mollie09 - for a visit.  He has a job back in south africa, employment and an apartment.

What are the chances of a 25 year old male and his child getting visitors visas approved to come the USA?  Is South Africa considered an asylum country to come to the USA?

Thank you.

When filing for Adjustment of Status under the new rules effective October 15th, has it been confirm that this form be needed to file with I-485?

The actual rule change document states:

Note this applies for AOS as well...it's an 800+ page document so finding the exact spot for AOS is tedious.   If you need the exact spot for AOS as well, I can pull it.

 

Edit: Also:

 

Thank yo u so much for the information.  That cleared up a lot.

I've read that the new public charge that becomes effective October 15, 2019 also includes significantly increasing the Household Poverty Guidelines.  If this is true, does anyone know the percentage increase?

Darnell:

Thank you for your response. Her co-sponsor is not her father it is a family friend. So she does have to file tax returns to file along with the I-864 for the past 3 years even though her father claimed her on his tax returns?

Can we file the application now and she will probably get an RFE and she can then send in her tax transcripts at that time?

Darnell,

I am writing to you for your expert advise as I value you it immensely.

I have a friend who is a US citizen and married to a person from South Africa. She does work but does not make enought to sponsor her husband and her father has claimed her on his taxes for the past 3 years and therefore she has not filed any tax returns, but she does have a qualified co-sponsor. Is this acceptable for the financial aspect of the application process.

Thank you so much for your time.

I have a friend who is USC and she works but not all year round and does not file tax returns because she has allowed her dad to claim her on his taxes so I assume she would still fill out I-864 and claim at least claim her income for this year and any money she has in savings or checking and then she has a confirmed co-sponsor who makes enough money per the poverty guidelines is this enough to prove the financial end of the application or will they kick it back. Thank you.

If a co-sponsor is in the military do we use the poverty guidelines for the military or use the one for civilians, per se.? Thank you.

I have a friend who is married and will be applying for AOS but they cannot do it until a few days after his I-94 expires - Is that going to cause a problem of any sort for these people or will everything be okay.

I think the I-94 expires on 11/5/13 and they can't file until 11/30/13.

Thanks everyone.

Finally got approved. Received my 10 year Greencard on July 25, 2013. Oh Happy Day!!!

Harpa should I contact my congressmen or wait to hear back via email from USCIS first? Thanks. What exactly is a service request?

Harpa - I already had my biometrics back in January, 2013. I was told that they were sending my inquiry to someone higher up since it is pass the timeframe of 6 months and that I will be receiving something via email with an update on my file. Does that sound correct?

Help!! I called USCIS and gave them the number beginning with WAC on the receipt from mailing the I-765 and they couldn't find anything and then was told they need the number from the Notice for Biometrics so I gave them that number as well and was told that didn't have any information under that number and that they would be sending me something via email. What does this mean? Are we lost in the system?

A friend of mine has been married for 3 years and he wants to file for adjustment of status but is not sure if his wife is going to cooperate and sign the required documents. They have had marital problems over the last year but entered into the marriage in good faith. Can he proceed without her consent? Thanks.

I have a friend who has been married for 3 years and never filed for AOS. He recently was taken into custody, not for committing a crime, but for accidentally making a wrong turn on a bridge to Canada and while the border patrol told him to make a U-Turn to go back to the expressway he was stopped and asked for ID which he didn't have his passport, for safety reasons, he leaves it at home, and he was detained for 10 days paid a bond to get out and now has a he has a hearing for "purposes of electronic monitoring".

My question is he was able to borrow money to get the AOS done and he is going to send out for filing prior to the hearing and will have proof to show the Judge the receipt from UPS plus the documents he filed plus the money order to USCIS - Do you think this will be enough, because he is also married to a US Citizen, for the Judge to let him go? Also do you think he needs an attorney for this hearing? Also on the form I-485 or the I-765 it asks if you have ever been arrested, does he mark yes for this and provide the documents given to him when he was released?

Thanks to anyone who will answer these question.

thank you. That is good news.
