Hi everyone,
I've been browsing through this forum and found many interesting and helpful suggestions on filling-out the I-130, I-131, I-485, G-325, I-765 Forms.
This is my situation.
I am a U.S. citizen and I just got married to a Japanese citizen who was originally in the U.S. on a student VISA and, now that she graduated from college, shes in the U.S. on an OPT VISA.
We were married in NY/NY and a marriage certificate was issued right after the ceremony.
I'm trying to file papers with USCIS for my wife. Here are some of my questions and concerns.
1. In the I-485 instructions, my wife needs to submit evidence of her criminal history. Does she need to submit any evidence if she does not have a criminal history (i.e., shes has never been arrested nor performed any unlawful acts in the U.S. or Japan)?
4. In the I-485 instructions, my wife needs to submit a medical examination report. Does this form need to be filed concurrently with the I-130 and I-485 form?
5. My wife's OPT VISA will expire on July 16, 2010. If her OPT VISA expires while her I-130 and I-485 applications are pending before USCIS, will the U.S. require her to go back to Japan until her I-130 and I-485 applications are approved?
6. We would like to go on a honeymoon during September 2010, does she need to apply for an I-131 form for advance parole?
Please help because I would like to save $4,500 worth of legal fees.
In advance, I greatly appreciate the help.
