Getting married just before filing I-485 - required documents?
With the new I-140/I-485 concurrent rule, I plan to file my I-485 ASAP. I was planning on getting married to my (non-American)fiancee later this year given that the I-140 would take 6 months, and she would be a dependant on my application.
Now it seems we have to move those marriage plans forward and get all the paperwork (marriage certificates) done before I file the I-485. Q: Will this raise any suspicions getting married just days before filing the I-485? Q: What evidence needs to be submitted with the I-485 in terms of marriage certificates etc? |

Probably not. Actually, you can still wait. You have to be married only by the time the I-485 is *approved*. > R: What evidence needs to be submitted with the I-485 in terms of marriage > certificates etc? Just a marriage certificate, and of course her own I-485 with all the supporting paperwork and fees. If you get married later and file her I-485 separately, you'd also need to include a copy of your own I-485 receipt to show that she is entitled to derived status. Ingo |
