I-130 vs adjustment of status: what's the difference?

[@blakerespini1154]

If we first we married abroad, would my Indonesian partner be able enter the U.S. on his current tourist via and then apply for an adjustment of status without having to leave the country? Does that path have an advantage over marrying him while he is here on his tourist visa and then applying for a change of status? Thanks for your helpful video and reply. Blake

What's the difference between cancellation of removal and motion to reopen.

Thanks for this video, what happens when one is eligible for an Adjustment of Status and applied concurrently for both I-130 and i-485, i-130 approved and i-485 is still actively being reviewed.

This is not super common but it happens, and it doesn't mean that something is wrong with the case. Sometimes it's because USCIS is going to issue a Request For Evidence for something that was missing for the I-485. For example, USCIS might ask for a new medical exam, certificates of disposition for crimes, or a birth certificate. There are also some people who concurrently file the I-130/I-485 when they aren't eligible to adjust status. In those cases the I-130 will get approved (because the family relationship is real) but the I-485 will be denied. A common example of this is when an out-of-status immigrant spouse mistakenly files the I-130/I-485 based on marriage to a permanent resident spouse.

I appreciate your information, but why are you not also explaining that not only that 130 has to be filed the 130 a also has to accompany it with it from the beneficiary signed by the beneficiary and if she is overseas the 860 48864 has to be filed for ALS overseasso could you elaborate on to everybody?

[@ArtLona2022]

Well, I was dictating this message in the 864. I also submitted with it online. I want 3130 a 864 all together now please elaborate a little bit further because it’s taking so long for the 130 that I also K3 can be submitted to help step up to pace, could you talk about that please?

[@ArtLona2022]

In other words, she has not been here from the Philippines to the United States yet so the K3 I’m asking for them to approve that she can come here now while we wait for the 130 gets approved and all of that red tape gets done and we will go back to the Philippines for her interview if necessary

Can an ex-wife who did marriage fraud conspiracy planning on her US Citizen spouse can call their actual husband on the visitor visa with all the planning while ex-wife is on the CR-1 status?

[@DarianLaw]

Sorry, I don't understand the questionl. Can you rephrase?

[@RoshniPatel-e1s]

@@DarianLaw So if the ex-wife who did Marriage fraud Conspiracy with US Citizen spouse and divorced them can she call their actual husband on Visitor Visa after still her status is CR-1 and she has an Incorrect Green Card issued by USCIS?
