That doesn't make sense. EB1 is just a category for future immigration. It has nothing to do with his current status, and does not allow him to stay in the US. Do you mean perhaps that he changed status to O1 status (nonimmigrant status for people with extraordinary ability)?

For people who have the AOS approved while they are abroad with AP, the AP only serves the purpose of getting the airline to board you. Once you get to the US port of entry and tell the officer that your AOS is approved, they should look you up and admit you as a permanent resident, and not...

1. I don't really know, but maybe in a year? 2. You can't "move" to the US until you get your immigrant visa. You can visit the US (if they let you in). 3. Shouldn't affect it. By the way, did you guys marry before or after he got his green card, and what category did he immigrate in?

Given that you got a green card, most likely you were not a US citizen from birth. You were a US citizen at birth if your father was a US citizen when you were born, and your father met the conditions to pass on US citizenship to a child born abroad at the time of your birth. Basically, for a...

Did you ever have a US passport or a CRBA? If you were "born a US citizen", then why did you have a green card? If you were born a US citizen, the US consulate would not have issued you an immigrant visa, and instead would have issued you a US passport. You would not have been able to get a...

If you live in the 2nd Circuit or 9th Circuit, it will automatically convert into the Immediate Relative category. If you live in any other circuit, it will automatically convert into the F1 category, which has a much longer wait than F2A. See this page, scroll down to "LPR Parent Petitions for...

See 8 CFR 245.2(a)(4)(ii)(A) through (D). Leaving the US while I-485 is pending will automatically abandon your I-485 unless you were granted Advance Parole prior to leaving, and you return on that Advance Parole, or you maintained H1b/H4/L1/L2/K3/K4/V status until right before leaving, and you...

Should be fine. The worst case is that you will be denied entry. It shouldn't affect your I-140.

I did. Your question doesn't make sense because you only have status (e.g. F1) while inside the US. So when you are outside the US, you are not "on F1", and it doesn't matter if you are "on F1" or not. Whether you "can work" abroad depends only on the status you have in that country, and the...

The US has no restrictions on what you can do while outside the US. US rules on employment authorization only apply to people in the US.

What's the "resident since" date on your green card?

No. It is a mandatory tax that people working in the US must pay, no matter if you are staying in the US or not. The credits might be able to be transferred to your home country.

1. That's sufficient. You might also want to bring proof of maintaining residence in the US, e.g. having filed US tax returns, maintaining access to a home in the US, US bank accounts, US driver's licenses, etc. 2. This is correct. Again, you might want to bring proof of maintaining residence in...

No. Your daughter was already a US citizen upon entering the US because you are a US citizen. It doesn't matter under the Child Citizenship Act of 2000 if you are a US citizen from birth or by naturalization. It also doesn't matter if you became a US citizen before or after your child became a...

Yes. She is actually not a permanent resident right now; she is a US citizen, and has been for the last few years; she just doesn't have proof of citizenship. Her old green card serves as part of the evidence of citizenship for her to get a US passport. Beyond that, you can forget it. In fact, I...

yes That's not relevant. She wouldn't need to get a new Social Security card since she already has an unrestricted Social Security card as a permanent resident. It's still recommended to update her status with Social Security Administration at some point, as there are some rare state...

Assuming this is your biological daughter, then she already automatically became a US citizen under INA 320 the moment she entered the US, as she was a US permanent resident, under 18, who was living in the US in the custody of a US citizen parent (you). As your daughter is already a US...

TPS is for people who were already here (legally or illegally). It does not apply to people who arrive afterwards. If you are a Ukrainian who was in Ukraine in February 2022, you might try to find someone to sponsor you for parole through Uniting for Ukraine.

As far as I know, the principal beneficiary's signature is not needed for a derivative beneficiary to file Adjustment of Status inside the US. However, the derivative beneficiary would need to get a copy of the principal beneficiary's I-140 receipt, and a copy of either the beneficiary's I-485...

Buy a plan from the marketplace. They get a subsidy if their income is below 400% of the poverty level. I believe they are not eligible for Medicare until they have had a green card for 5 years, and even then, since they have not earned 40 quarters of Social Security credits, they would need to...
