Visitor visa chances while waiting on i824
Hello everyone, please my husband was thinking about making me apply for a B1/B2 visitor visa.
We already have an approved i130 waiting on i824. If I apply and he accompanys me to the interview in Nigeria, will that increase the chances of getting the visitor visa?
Applying for adjustment of status through LPR parents for unmarried and above 21
A friend of mine has a question,
He entered the US with a US vistor visa, his parents are permanent resident (LPR). He is unmarried and over 21, can he apply for adjustment of status (form I-485) through his LPR mom or dad?

Green card holder sponsor spouse
Hi everyone,
I currently have a green card for 2 years now and I’ll be eligible for citizenship in about 3 years(a total of 5 years). I just got married and my spouse overstayed her holiday visa and now I have to file for her(she is currently in the US too). I do see that for the category F2A the priority date is “current” meaning I can file both the i130 and i485 but the issue is I am seeing everywhere that I’ll need a waiver(i601A) because she violated the terms of her visa and because am not a citizen. So right now what will happen if I file for the i485? Will it be automatically be rejected without the waiver or will she be given a work permit until she is called for the interview then get rejected because she doesn’t have the waiver? I am asking because if she can get a work permit for now that will be good while she waits then maybe by the time they call us for the interview I would have been a citizen by then and the waiver will not be necessary. Please help #greencard #i601A #i485 #i130 #familypreference

Filling I-134A with missing passport
I am trying to complete form I 134-a for a minor, who is still awaiting his Cuban passport. His mother, who is bringing him has hers, but the child’s passport is delayed due to extreme requests at the moment. Can I submit both forms for mother and child, but send the child’s without the passport info? Has anyone been successful submitting a parole request without passport information? Thank you. #cubanparole #i134A#missingpassport#cubanpassport #I-134A
applying GC when married with US citizen
Hi,
I am a US citizen and plan to get married with non-US citizen and tryign to figure out what is the best option for us.
Background
Me: US citizen
My girlfriend: hold a valid B2 visa.
Question
1. Is it possible for her to enter to US with B2 visa and get married after?
2. If so, how long we should wait before getting married after she enters to US?
3. What is the best option to apply her a Green card? Between Adjustment of Status (in US) or Consular process (aborad). Or what is the pros and cons for these two options?
4. Let's say if we go for the AOS process (apply in US), how long it takes to get SSN and EAD? while waiting for GC, can she go back to her home country? and also if she can go back to her home country... what visa she needs if she wants to come to US? is the B2 visa still valid? or she needs another visa?
5. What if we go for Consular process, can she enter to US with B2 visa? or she needs to apply for CR1 visa? and can she also apply for SSN and EAD while living aboard?
I know I have a lot of questions, but any help is highly appreciate.
Form I-824
Hi Everyone, I filed form I-130 and I made a mistake on the application as I clicked the option for my parents to come here file adjustment of status and also for my parent to apply for Visa in their country, so due to that mistake, I now need to file form I-824 to have USCIS send the petition to the NVC. Since I am the petitioner, where in the application would I need to sign? Would I need to sign under Applicant in page 4-5? Please help me 🙏🏽
Derivative i485 | Using biometric notice instead of receipt notice
Hello everyone. I have a pending i485. Now, to file i485 for my spouse, I need to send evidence of my pending case. I didn’t get the receipt notice but I have the biometric appointment notice. Can I use this as evidence of my pending case. It includes almost the same information as the receipt notice.
Has anyone used biometric notice instead of receipt notice as evidence for derivative application? Please share your experiences.
Thanks #i485
