Hi Kensiya, Thank you for all videos that help me step by step how to fill out all forms to petition my in laws while in the U.S. Her green card just came in to the mail 2 weeks ago and total of 5 months from submitted forms. So much faster than i expected. From my bottom of my heart, Thank you for all your videos and saved it so much time and less confusion how to fill out those forms.

Hi Kseniya, thank you very much for videos related to I-485, as they're very detailed. While collecting documents to apply for Adjustment of Status for DV lottery, I have found the following information regarding a document I have to submit: "If derivative applicants are filing Form I-485 based on the principal applicant’s Selection Letter, you must provide evidence that the principal applicant included the derivative applicants in the entry when entering the DV lottery for the current fiscal year." Frankly speaking, I have no idea what it means since DV entry itself did not allow to download the entire Application, and on submission confirmation page my wife is not mentioned. Probably you have an idea what are they mentioning? Appreciate your help.

[@ideearchie7435]

This was very detail and so good

[@wesleyhutt3912]

The first thing on your list is receipt of the i-130 but for Fiancee Visa it would be the i-129 receipt and this is confusing because you don't mention this very common other USCIS process...And isn't it just the 797 Notice of Action that is needed?

[@ProdiJay_Tv]

Thanks A lot. I Just need to clarify something...I filed the i-130 online...and I want to submit the i-485 through mail...Do i need all the evidence ort can I just submit the form only?

[@jonecir]

Hi Kseniya, very informative video. If you are an immediate relative (i.e. parents) of a US Citizen, then I believe you can still apply for Adjustment of Status even if you have overstayed in the US.

If you have an approval prior to 1997 (might be 2001) you might be able to gain greencard by claiming 245I which forgives working unauthorized and entering without inspection.

This video is very informative. I have a question. Is the form I-693 really necessary?

[@shortsweetness876]

If you don't send it after the rfe,your case will be denied! Many send the i693 to avoid the rfe because depending on the IO(immigration officer), they can take 1 day-12 months to accept it...

[@Itzmesheryl]

Hi Kseniya, I don't know if you can help me on this subject but NVC has been rejected my divorce certificate 3 times. They required a FINAL LEGAL DIVORCE DECREE. In France since 2017 when spouses are agree to divorce by mutual consent the divorce is pronounced by a notary and NOT in a court. The only three legal documents that spouses have in their possession are : the divorce contract provided by the lawyers, the divorce certificat provided by the notary and the mariage certificat with mention of the divorce provided by the city hall where the marriage took place. They rejected all 3 documents. I have no idea what to provide so does my lawyer who pronounced the divorce. If you have any idea that would help me I would be very grateful. Thank you Emmanuelle

[@surenamen]

Quick question. Can I turn in my I-864 with my I-485 in the same envelope, or do they have to be filed separately?

Just to clarify is the birth certificate for the Beneficiary and Petitioner or Just the Beneficiary

[@WAYtoINFINITY]

Огромное спасибо, что так структурируешь и подробно рассказываешь об этом процессе. Твой опыт бесценен в твоей интерпретации. Если у тебя есть информация где копать, подскажи, пожалуйста по поводу "proof of continuous legal presence in the us". Я заехал по визе, но прошло уже столько времени, что она истекла. Моя жена гражданка США. Мне нужен waiver 601? Или как я понял с твоих слов, то для ближайших родственников не играет роли на сколько была просрочена виза, если человек вьехал легально, то копия визы является "proof of continuous legal presence in the us".

I do have a question, if anyone can help. A lot of these documents are submitted with I-130 and I-130A. Passport-style photos, I-94 verification of legal entry, copy of passport, etc. Do we have to resubmit all of them another time to be mailed with the I-485, or will the receipt number and copy of the I-130 refer them to those documents and photos?

[@shortsweetness876]

If submitting 130-a online you submit the required items. For the i485,you'll need copies again for the required items of the i485. Same thing with the i765,i131

if they paid their uscis fee etc., after arrival the card can come in 4-6 months.

Hello, thanks for the video. I have a question...We misplaced the foreign passports so we don't have the stamped proof or the visa page detailing legal entry into the US. But, we do have the i-94's for the kids. Will we still be able to submit the i-485 without issues? Or, will they actually need the passport information in addition to the i-94's? We do have pictures of the actual foreign passport, but not the physical passports. Thanks

Hi Kseniya, awesome videos. I could not get information on this but is the marriage certificate of my mother required for I-485 if filing for just her? My sister is petitioning for my mother only and we were unsure if we also need to submit her marriage certificate since we realized she has her surname spelled wrong (also wromg surname of her father) in it. If yes, what other evidence we can support to prove that the spelling was a clerical error it is indeed my mom in the marriage certificate?

[@MikeGately-k2v]

What happens if beneficiary did not get her passport stamped upon entry into USA? It seems that is happening more and more now as it’s all done electronically. Is a copy of the I-94 then sufficient? Thanks!

Hello, my wife's I131 approved and sent out but to the wrong address. We are able to see that in the digital version of the document that it was mailed to our same street address but to the wrong state. We had already updated our new address but it registed as Illinois instead of washington state. The case is closed but it looks like it may have been sent back to uscis as the address was not a physical mailbox rather just an empty field with no house. Would you simply send a letter to uscis and state that the address was wrong and that we never received it? Thank you!

[@adrianpooley3949]

I am in the US filing an i-485 (following an approved i-130 petition through consular processing in Australia). If I file for an i-485 (adjustment of status), do I still need to travel to Australia for the interview (with my US citizen wife)? Or does that interview occur at a USCIS field office here in the USA?. I also want to know if I need to send original letterhead documentation (with a hidden USCIS seal that can only be seen when holding the paper to the light) of my i-130 approved petition, as it was addressed to Australia when we were both living there doing consular processing (My wife is a US born citizen and a dual Australian citizen. I am an Australian citizen by birth with no other immigration status, other than a B2 tourist visa for medical reasons). I have an email copy of that approval notice (I know that an i-130 approval is not required to file an i-485, just one that is pending). Is that sufficient? This notice also has my old Australian address on the top when I don't live in Australia anymore (neither does my US citizen wife) I've been told by other legitimate sources that I file i-485 (Adjustment of Status), i-765 (employment authorisation), i-693 (certified medical doctor), i-131 (advanced travel parole, to return to Australia, if needed and not have my Green Card application cancelled or rejected). I do this all at the same time and only pay the filing fee for i-485 (excluding the medical, which may have private charges)

Both combined is 99k/yr. But in our tax records, he used his old address and put his brother as a dependent (because he was providing support for him majority of that year then we moved out). This old address is listed on the application as well but now we live in our current address (new one). Should we include his brother for household size because of the tax records (even though he lives in a different address) ?

Yes anyone declared on most recent tax returns must be counted in household size as “other dependent”

Hello, great videos. I have a question for you, you said that if you do concurrent filling online you need to submit the receipt notice that you would print out after you submit the I-130, so are you still able to do concurrent filling since you do the I-130 first? Appreciate your response

[@robertbodden8810]

Hey there. Yes. I believe she has a video where she goes more in detail on this, but essentially you submit the I-130 online and get a receipt of notice. You include the number of that receipt on the I-485 form (there is a specific section where they ask for it) and also print out and include the receipt with your application. Once you file form I-485, USCIS will link it to the I-130 application they received online once they receive the I-485. Hope that makes sense.
