hi there
I am new to this site.Needs some help.I am planning to get married very soon to usc.
1. I will be filing for aos for myself and 2 kids. Do I have to file separate I-130 for myself and each child both is under 18 yrs old.If so do I have to pay separate fees for each child.
2. How long after marriage can I file my application for aos.
3. I am presently out of status ( overstayed tourist visa for 4 yrs)
4. Does child have to attend interview.
5.Children r living with me,as I am divorced from previous marriage for 5 yrs.
thx guys for your help
 
One I-130, petitioner files for you, you will be the beneficiary, and your children will be derivative beneficiaries.
You can file for AOS the day you get married - you need to prove that the marriage is bona-fide.
Stay low, since if you get caught before you file AOS, you will be deported.

This is dangerously incorrect advice. If the original poster is filing on the basis of marriage to a US citizen, a separate I-130 MUST be filed. There is no concept of a derivative beneficiary in Immediate Relative cases.

Sorry I forgot to take the "USC petitioner part" into concern when I wrote it.
However, WTF is a dangerously incorrect advice? For immigration, are there any "incorrect" advice that are semi-dangerous, mildly-dangerous or friendly?
 
thx you guys for your advice.Can someone say how much will be the cost to file for myself and children?

hi guys
Myself and kids have an adjustment of status application pending .I applied for a work permit,it was approved.Can I apply to uscis for work permits for my two children aged 17 and 16 for summer jobs.do I have to pay a separate fee.thank you
 
Yes your children can get EADs. No separate fee, because their AOS was filed after the summer 2007 fee restructuring. However, the EAD normally takes 2-3 months to be approved, by which time the summer break will be over and it's back to school again. But it's still useful to have their EAD so they can use it to get SSN to apply for a driver's license or state ID, bank account and other things.

When did you file the AOS? The thread is over a year old.
 
i filed aos in november 2010.Interview was done in feb 2011.we were separated.io said some questions did not match.he said they will review the case and we will hear from them in 60 days.still waiting for a reply.thanks for the info
