Hello! I sent in I-485/I-765/I-131 to the lockbox. Now what would be the next step? I know it is going to be a long wait but can anyone share experience on the time line and the process? Thanks.

Thanks. I tracked down the lawyer dude and got the original approval. I sent my AOS with the copy of the original I-797.

De rien! If your income is above 125% poverty level, you can show your salary as total household income. You will have to sign I-864A (contract between sponsor and household member), show evidence of employment (job letter, pay stub), tax return for past 3 years plus evidence of sharing domicle...

I-130 approved in 2001. Now filing for adjustment of status. I don't have the original I-797 (sent to lawyer, now lost track), just have the courtsey copy (looks exactly like I-797, written courtsey copy, also written may not use in lieu of original I797 for filing or processing of case). Can I...

Thanks guys for your input. I will take your advice and follow the safer route.

Another I-864 question Sponsor's unemployed so we got a joint sponsor. Joint sponsor's income is sufficient but he lost his tax return for 2002 so I have the ones from 2004, 2003 and 2001. I guess if you fail to provide less than 3, you have to give an explanation. Should I just write a...

Please advice: -Joint sponsor only has tax returns from 2004, 2003 and 2001. Missing 2002. Can it post a problem?

Once you become a citizen, send a copy of your certificate of naturalization with a cover letter explaining the situation to NVC. Give them a call as well. Then the visa number will become immediately available. You can simultaneously file for I-485 with USCIS.

Your mum, his mother should apply for I130. Approval time varies depending on the category (under 21, over 21, married vs. single). Once approved, when you mum becomes a citizen, the category will be upgraded. In summary your mum's petition most likely be faster route. You, USC can still send...

Thanks for the clarification. Admitted on B2, now H1, applying for adjustment of status. So I guess the class of admission will be "B2", correct? Just want to be sure! :) P

Thanks Eric!

Apologies for the not so smart question. What is OPT. THanks. P

What should I write for I-131, Question #3. "Class of Admission" Does it mean adjustment of status, current immigration status? Thanks. P

Hello! Family-based adjustment of status application, currently on H1B, initial EAD application. In I-765 Question #11 Have you ever before applied for employment authorization ever from USCIS? I reckon the answer is "No". Just want to be sure. Does H1B (work visa) count as employment...

Yep! I just got citizenship approved. Things that may help expedite the processing. -Get your fingerprint done, call FBI the next day the see if FP cleared, if rejected (very common), go to DO with infopass, get another FP done. If rejected twice, get police clearance letter, make sure you get...

If a sponsor is receving public assistance for medical and cash, will she still be eligible to be a sponsor? Is there anything else that need to be done other than finding a joint sponsor? Thanks.

Family based I485 question. My mother, who is a dependent, (retired) and is sponsoring my sister for GC. Since her income does not meet 125% poverty line, we have a joint sponsor. For my mum's I-864 form, 1. Do we need to write a separate letter saying she is a dependent and has not filed...

Thanks for the advice. P
