Ok...I have quite alot of questions that need to be cleared out:
I am on F-1 visa just graduating from school in August. I am getting married to my fiance in September and after that we will apply for my greencard. We will do it right after the marriage so I will not be out of status.
We've known each other for over 10 years and have been dating for almost 2 years. It has mostly been a long distance relationship. Our parents thought it would be better if we get married, because we talk alot and I fly down to TX to see her alot since it is CULTURALLY/RELIGIOUSLY not acceptable. And OFCOURSE we want to get married!
My wife and I will be living apart after our marriage for 10 months after which she will move in with me. Reason is she is pursuing her MBA in TX and I am studying for my CPA exam in OH. We have proofs of our registeration.
My questions:
1) Where should I send in my application? Is it better to send it in OH or TX(where the sponsor lives)
2) Since we both are students and do not have any income besides income from my on-campus jobs I had, should she file an I-864 with 0.00 income and have a joint sponsor? I am living with my brother who is a permanent resident> he earns enough income to be considered a joint sponsor. In this case should both my wife and brother file the I-864?
3) On -130, would it be a problem if we both have different addresses put on the form. Her address would be of TX where she lives with her parents and mine would be of OH where I live with my brother.
4) on I-765, which USCIS office should I select to send this form to? Theres a question that simply says, "Which USCIS office?"
5) Im sure i know but to double-check, my F-1 visa is not valid as soon as USCIS receives my application, right?
Apologies for being annoying and for making it really long!
