Best case scenario you'd probably get a "Request for Evidence" (i.e. send us this stuff and we can approved you). Most likely you'd get a 2nd interview, probably a Stokes interview where they separate you. Worst case scenario would be denial. The question is, why would you got to an AOS...

Did you come here on a J-1? If so you might be subject to the 2 year HRR, and need to get a waiver. If you came on a F-1 then: Get a new lawyer, pardon my French but she is full of shit. If you came here legally originally, it doesn't matter if you overstayed. You are "forgiven" for overstays...

Firstly, the form you want to file is I-864 or I-864EZ, not I-184. Secondly, yes, your husband must file this form along with the AOS packet (I-485/I-130/I-765). He must be the prime sponsor, regardless of how much he makes. My wife made $0 as she's a student, but she was still my affidavit...

So basically an amnesty then, from what I can see. Wonderful.

If you have an I-94 in your passport, you were inspected by an immigration officer.

Calling the Misinformation Hotline will have that effect on you.

The DO you have your interview at is based on the address that you give on the I-485. You don't get to choose. So put the name of the DO closest to your address here. Again, it will be at the closest address to that given on the I-485, which should be your address as the I-485 should be filled...

I never got noticed that my I-130 was approved, even today its still listed as "pending", despite th fact I've had my Green Card since December. The important thing is I-485 approval, I-130 is by the by.

Leave it blank. Otherwise you might end up with a Green Card under the name "John NONE Smith". ;) OK I-130 should be filled out by the US Citizen, not the person applying for the Green Card. I assume you are not the US citizen, so here it should have your address written in your native...

Oh, sorry I missed that in your first post, so you mean to forward the Green Cards to them while they are abroad? The only problem with that is people with foriegn passports flying out of the USA with return tickets are often asked for proof that they can legally return by the airline. It...

You need either the Green Card or the I-551 stamp in your passport to return to the USA after foriegn travel. The welcome letter is not enough. Your best bet is to make an Infopass appointment, go to the office and tell them you need to travel and ask for the I-551 stamp. Otherwise, I would...

To be fair my position on parents is a lot softer, I can see the reasons why people would want to get them green cards, especially in terms of the need to take care of ones parents in their old age. I'm willing to be convinced. Less so on adult children to be honest, and siblings I don't think...

1. A# should be on the receipt notice for the I-130, or written on the back of the I-94. 2. On the I-485 they ask you for Immigrant visa number. 3. Good question. I don't believe so, because they also ask the "last place you lived outside of the USA", but I would guess it can't hurt to put...

If he's used that EAD though, you wouldn't be eligible for an H-4 because using an EAD invalidates H-1B.

No particular reason I can think of.

Out of interest, on what basis would you apply for H-4? I assume your husband is on a H-1B? If his AOS is approved, that H-1B becomes invalid and you would no longer qualify for an H-4.

Its OK, no offense is taken at all. Its a debate. This is the fault of the Department of State. H-1Bs are supposed to pass a "prevailing wage" test, which is designed to stop this from happening. The idea is that the H-1B employer has to prove that they are paying the employee at the going...

Both agencies blame each other.

Yes, of course. There is no official guidelines that say photos are not accepted. Perhaps our IO had seen one too many "posed" photographs, and had decided not to bother any more. Really the best evidence you can bring to the interview is your demeanor.

Shut up. Seriously. I'm sorry but if you decide to move to a foriegn country your the one who made the decision to leave your family behind. I don't see why the USA should import your whole family with you just because of your bad decision to leave them.
