Hello. I’m just literally applying my wife for form I-130 because we just got married recently and I’m so scared to make a mistake causing a delay on the processing. But seeing this video made me feel at ease. Thankyou for this video. I subscribed btw,and definitely will watch your other vids regarding this type of Froms. 😁
Thank you so much for your orientation. These are complicated processes and we do get our head full of questions and doubts. Thanks a lot for your videos!
Thank you, Kseniya.regarding the question: Evidence of the end of your spouse's previous marriage: my husband fills 1-130. I was not previously married. We answered"zero".the site gave us "you should provide evidence.if you don't provide evidence,your petition processing may be delayed."
Hello, thanks for your videos they are very helpful .. one question If my wife is in Mexico and I’m in Texas does she have to sign the form ?or that would be overseas? I’ll go to Mexico and visit her every time that I can.
Thank you for the informative video! I was wondering how you would recommend I attach the pictures of invites we've received to weddings with both our names, money transfers between the two of us, and gifts sent to each other if I'm mailing the forms? Thank you
Watching your videos makes my life easier ! Thank you for sharing your experience. Can i ask a question ? When Filing concurrent I file them together just 1 packet ? Or I can file first the i-130 then wait for the receipt and attached to i-485 and send it right away everything?
I have a question. My wife and I were in a long-distance relationships for 2 and half years before we officially get married. I has been outside the US. Now, for filing i-130, what kinds of evidence do you suggest for us as supporting documents for a bona-fide marriage? you didn't mention any of such kinds of evidence in your video. Please suggest some. We have marriage pictures, or chats in social medias. However, our chats in social media are not in english.
Hello, so my wife and I got married January of this year. Proxy marriage through the state of Utah. I am an American citizen and she is Nepali but she works in London. We did our consummation In February 2024. We met for 10 days in London and have many pictures, receipts, plane tickets, and text messages. We are currently filing our I-130 but we don’t have a bank account together. We don’t have children yet. We also don’t own or rent a property together. What would we list under “ Additional Proof Of Marriage “ section ? Also where do we upload our Consummation evidence ? Thank you!
I have a question. I am a student and work in the U.S. with CPT program. Once I receive a EAD card which I applied with green card, do I still need to go to school for work or not? Am I going to get in a trouble if I stopped going to school after that?
Thank You for your videos. I have a question: in the Form I-130, at the Evidence part of my spouse, it mention to fill the I-130A form. Would I attach scan the form I-130A with the respective signature?
If your spouse lives abroad it is not require to him to sign the form i-130A (Read indication at the top of the from i-130A). So, he can fill out i-130A and DATE it on computer and send you the PDF file. But since you are in the USA, and you fill out the i-130, you must SIGN and DATE that form (i-130).
I have a huge question and it says in the petition : At which Us Embassy location will beneficiary apply for immigrant visa ? Do I I write this now when only beginning petition? My spouse is outside the us and if so we have to write the embassy that she wishes to be interviewed at later on ? I’m confused
Hi @Kseniya, if an individual (beneficiary) is serving two years home residency requirement as a part of J1 exchange visitor visa in their home country, can the petitioner (for instance spouse), who is a US citizen submit the form I-130 (petition for Alien Relative) right away or have to wait two years before filing? Please let me know sooner as I just want to make sure before filing in order not to lose the filing fees due to rejection or denial. Thank you.
You can submit the I-130 as soon as the two of you are legally relatives of each other. The prime example of this is once someone has become your spouse, they become your family by-law. There is no delay or wait time in submitting the I-130 other than if the two of you are NOT relatives legally speaking (e.g. they are your romantic partner but not spouse yet). There are no restrictions to the I-130 because someone is on a J1 visa or any other type of visa (e.g. F1). There can be red flags if someone is the beneficiary within 90 days of getting their first visa (F1, J1, etc).
Hi Kseniya, and everyone! I have a question about Part 4, Question 62 of the I-130 form asks to select the US Embassy where the immigrant visa will be applied for. I am a Russian citizen and currently, Moscow has paused all visa services. Can I put another country (for example Georgia) if we don't have any ties to that country? Thank you in advance!
Hi thank you for the video. I have a quick question. Our i-130 is filed online and do we wait for the receipt number before i mail in my i-485? Thank you!
@@JS-kc2xs so i didnt wait for the receipt. I just filed my I485 and travel permit and work permit application. And it is all good cuz later my I 130 was approved and we got the receipt.
Hello Kseniya, is it advisable to terminate my F1 status while I wait for my work permit ? I adjsuted through a spouce. I am currently unemployed and I don't want to go to graduate school. Thank you.
What should i write in this section for my siblings if the U.S embassy is close in their country ? ( The beneficiary will not apply for adjustment of status in the United States, but he or she will apply for an immigrant visa abroad at the U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate in:
For respond to RFE, do i need to attach original letter posted at my address or can be downloaded from email and attached with the response? Urgent respond required please !
Good day Mam, Im A Filipina from Cebu married to American National here in Cebu last 2019 and my husband filed 1-130Spousal Visa last March of 2022 actually the sratus of our case is still reviewing at USCIS As of January 2023..I may ask why is it until now June of 2023 we dont have any new update from USCIS? What took the delay?
When I try to submit my i130 online. I'm getting this error repeatedly "We could not upload your file. Please try again in a few minutes. Re" What should I do?
Hi I have a question,My husband file a adjustment of status for me,when he was a permanent resident .The case was denied ,but I did receive my social security card ,My employer authorization.It has been 5 year and now he is a an American citizen.We are applying now all over again,My employee authorization has been cancel since my case was denied.My question is can I use the Alien number that i have before to file my new case ?
I just realized i sent an expired I-864 not knowing they updated the new one that expires in 2026. Is going to affect the decision of my case? Are they going to deny my case?
Thank you so much, i did a little bit more research and i found out that they will also accept 12/08/21 edition which I thought had expired. So i think i should be good
I see nothing requesting wedding photo's, joint accounts, affidavits lol Everything is rushed with a 90 day window for K1 he'll we're still fighting Social security for a card so I can add my wife and kids to my insurance 😉 In all honesty we had a wedding at the house with plans for a real celebration after paying all the fees currently at over $4500 for 3 Not counting wedding dress rings Covid priced airfare 3x normal prices lol Hopefully they will except what they asked for until the interview?
Hello! I have a question if you, or anyone else reading this could help me out. My husband and I have already gotten all the forms in and the USCIS has requested evidence of a bona fide marriage. We got our taxes done together, got both of our names on a bank statement, and 2 affidavits from close friends. We are trying to get health insurance together but haven't been able to yet, and the deadline is coming in a few weeks. My question is, do you think that the evidence we were able to get will be enough? And, is there any other type of insurance we would be able to get together that is relatively inexpensive (like maybe car rental insurance, etc.?--- something quick.) We are also unable to add my name onto any bills, as we're still a young couple and live with my husband's parents. Any help or suggestions will be great, thank you so much!

Hi, I have recently moved to USA. I am a permanent resident. I have to apply for my husband. But I didn’t get the job in USA yet. Shall I apply for my husband without job on USA? Shall I show my relation as a sponsorship? Is there any chance of rejection of form without any job in USA?
You need to prove that you can support him until he becomes a US Citizen and you need to prove that your income is 125% over the poverty guidelines depending on your household size. If it’s just you and him (household size:2) then your income should be around $23k/year.
I have a question. Do I need a proof of income from the year of petition I filed or from the year petition was actually approved? I am asking this to know which tax return to pull
