Hi, After 2 years and 3 different filings, we recieved my wife's PR card. Only thing is that they didn't change her last name to mine and they had her fill it out at her biometrics appointment. Does anyone know the steps for her to change her last name? She can't change it at the Social...

My wife and I are going for our interview on May 12 to get our I-485 approved. If they stamp her passport at the interview, can she travel back home and re-enter the US with the stamped passport even if she doesn't have her green card in the mail yet?

My wife got her J-2 waiver finally approved in May after a denial of a green card based on the fact that she didn't have one after we got married (believe it or not on the advice from a USCIS immigration officer not to file for one since she was no longer a "legal spouse" of a J-1 as stated in...

Hi! Thanks to both of you! This is good information. To answer some of your questions, yes, We filed the I-130 and the I-485. The I-130 was stamped approved at our interview, but the denial was the I-485 from the USCIS District Director based on the fact that we hadn't filed a waiver. It says...

It's not obvious. We actually went to the immigration office, waited in line all morning and talked to an immigration officer about it. They said that since she's out of status and in her grace period that she doesn't need a waiver because her divorce nullifies her status. They said to treat it...

My wife is a former J-2 who came to US nearly 5 years ago with her ex-husband who was a J-1 Fulbright scholar. They separated, we met, dated for nearly 2-years while her divorce was pending, then we married last fall after it was final and she was in her grace period. She has done everything...
