We live in San Jose and all our forms were filed to SJ office. This is the office that serves Santa Clara county residents We didn't apply advanced parole though.

Thanks, just wondering because we did include a co-sponsor in my husbands application (I didn't meet the income level at all), and I was wondering if it will be an issue at the interview even though I included it.

We did file the 485 with the cashed check image. San Jose actually misplaced the packet so we did not hear anything for about a month, and after we inquired then an officer found the packet and now the checks have been cashed, we have a receipt and my husband has EAD. So, the answer is yes this...

Did you have a cosponsor affadavit filed in the application already?

I researched a bit and I now I think that Canada may be one of the few countries where it is not possible to do DCF. You need to call your closest U.S. consulate and enquire. If you file in San Jose the process will be speedy, they are one of the fastest district offices in 485 processing. If...

As long as your wife is an American citizen you have an immediately available visa number. You could have filed all the forms together at once. Filing the 130 on its own is generally something done only by those who do not have the immediate visa number. You must show proof that they have...

That was attempt at humor. :) Two officers were plodding away diligently, and one officer would take a case, finish it, then close her window for a while and wander around chatting with her coworkers, so I only counted her as half. They do seem to have taken Infopass as a reason to have far...

I sent my husband's 130 to the service center. As a spouse, you don't need to wait for the case to be approved to file the rest of the 485 packet, this can be filed by DCF or at a U.S. district office depending on location. You do need proof that a service center is processing your 130...

He can sponsor her. Both the husband and the mother in law will need to submit form i-864, which is the affadavit of support. The mother in law will be acting as a co-sponsor. The husband will still be the petitioner.

AOS means adjustment of status, which in this case the process of obtaining a green card. AP means advanced parole. Advanced parole is a document that the INS issues to those who are adjusting status, so that they may travel outside the U.S. If her current visa is not a green card, what visa is it?

Our timeline Sent 485 packet to San Jose on 7-21. No response, so we went yesterday and inquired. We were informed that they had lost the packet, and we might have to start again. The officer told us he would look for it. They cashed the checks today 8/26, which means they found the packet...

Our timeline

Luckily, we don't need to know anymore. They found the packet!

The San Jose office has misplaced the entire 485 packet for my husband. What usually happens in this case. We found the delivery confirmation, but weren't able to give it to them when we had an appointment today.

We went to the San Jose CIS office today. We arrived at 5:30, and at 7:00 they announced that today they were introducing Infopass. They were not giving anywhere near the normal amount of tokens, and they had only about 2.5 information officers working. They normally have 5 or 6. They are not...
