I filed the 864W, and it was accepted. No questions about it at interview.

I did end up going with an attorney. Yes, it's a couple thousand dollars that I could've used, but I just wanted to be sure all my bases were covered without finding conflicting information. My I-485/130/765 packet was received September 30th. Had a fingerprinting appointment scheduled for...

My wife and I have been talking about it. We have not mentioned anything to her, and was going to ask her if she wanted to apply for her PR and move here when she came to visit. I am guessing that USCIS does not look very favorably at AOS applications that originated from tourist visas?

If your record is clean, that's all that matters as far as a background check is concerned.

My mother will be visiting (tourist visa) from my home country in February. We would like to be her sponsor for an I-485/I-130. Should we begin the process while she is here, and should she just stay in country after we send the paperwork off?

Had blood drawn and skin test today. Told to come back Monday to meet with the doctor and check the skin test reaction. Bloodwork results will come in later in the week with the holiday. They told me that I should be able to do the rest by phone and they can mail me my results and the completed...

About the physical, where does it say I have to go for 2 appointments? I'm going in this afternoon to do the paperwork and draw blood, and then going in Monday morning to meet with the doctor. I should be clear other than the fact that I'll need the vaccinations, since I don't have a written...

Couple of questions for I-765: I am applying for: "Permission to accept employment", since I've never had an EAD before, or "Renewal of my permission to accept employment", since I used to hold an R-1 visa that allowed me to work at a religious institution? Question #10: Do I put down the...

And because I needed to make matters worse.............I cannot locate my original birth certificate from home. Will they accept the date of birth on my passport? EDIT: NVM, found it.

Alright. Did I get all the right forms and am I now looking for the right documentary evidence?

Will I at least receive a NOA by then?

Yes, I've got 10 years over that amount of taxable earnings.

Thanks for the quick and informative replies, by the way. Earlier today, I was starting to crap a collective brick at facing the long flight home and a bar from re-entry and then looking at my oldest who just started school this week. I know I'm in this position because of my own...

I've been using the same SSN and filing joint returns ever since we got married. Yes, but it's expired. My home embassy wouldn't renew it without documentation of eligibility for work.

Will I be able to continue at my current employer, or is that up to them? And my wife is only employed part-time, while I'm the primary breadwinner. How will that affect anything?

Yes, married to an American citizen.
