Re: VWP Entry and Adjustment of Status
Currently I just have my name listed as his wife, as there is no biological connection between him and my children... is that sufficient??

It pays to remember that the I-130 is a GENERIC relative visa petition. To be pedantic, the definition of "child" in the Immigration & Nationality Act is not limited to biological children. In fact, some biological children are not within the definition of "child" for immigration purposes. Step-children are within the immigration definition of "child." The immigration definition of "child" is not congruent with the common definition of child. OP is perfectly reasonable in not putting her own children in that question despite the fact that they do fit within the immigration definition of "child" of her spouse. So, in the words of the late, great Chick Hearn: "No harm, no foul." We may close the refrigerator door on this one. |
Re: VWP Entry and Adjustment of Status
Consider the refrigerator closed on that subject :thumbup:
Next question: Between the I-130, I-131, I-485 and I-864 there are 3 of the 4 that require passport photos, and although I am assuming that one set of 2 photos of each of us is required, but I just want to be sure. And one more question: Hubby does not have an I-94 with the new electronic registration, but his I-94 information is requested on multiple forms... what to do? I know I ask a lot of questions -- sorry :( But it sure is nice to have some great folks that know what their talking about. Michellica |

Re: VWP Entry and Adjustment of Status
On the I-485 instructions it asks for a copy of my marriage certificate - would a photo copy be sufficient?

Re: VWP Entry and Adjustment of Status
In the I-485 instructions it says the following:
The filing fee for Form I-485 is $985 An additional biometrics fee of $85 is required when filing your form I-485... can these fees be paid along with the $420 for the I-130 in one check, or must they be three (or two) separate checks? Starting to stress a bit as I intend to send these out tomorrow :unsure: |
Re: VWP Entry and Adjustment of Status
And is the I-131 absolutely necessary? This is the most confusing form that I have seen so far and I don't know how to answer all of the questions. If hubby is approved for the AOS, he will be able to leave and reenter the country on a green card without having the I-131 correct?
