I'd like to consider myself a smart guy but I messed up 2-3 parts of this - Public Charge, Applied for a immigrant visa (keyword immigrant), and the derivative application. Thank you so much for making this free resource as immigration lawyers charge so much money!!!

Thank you so much for the detailed instructions. I thought it is quite straightforward, however, after watching your video, I found a few mistakes in the form that I already filled and was ready to send. Thank goodness I found your video before I send out my application!
Your videos are all super detailed and amazing! The information on how to fill in the forms based on different cases was also incredibly helpful. We were able to do the immigration process ourselves thanks to your videos and successfully obtained a spousal-based green card. Thank you so much!

Hello, Keniya I want first Thank you for your support people and I have a question I’m filling I -485 for my parent so when I have to fill up medical form ?
Hi Kseniya, thank you for your informative video on completing the I-485 form, particularly the sections pertaining to questions 26a - 26c. I originally entered the U.S. on an F1 visa, and my I-94 from CBP website indicates an expiration date of 'D/S.' However, I've since changed status to H1B, and my latest I-797 Approval notice specifies a hard expiration date for my I-94. I'm uncertain about which expiration date to use when filling out the form: should I go with the 'D/S' date from my initial entry, or the expiration date provided on my H1B approval notice? Additionally, when completing the 'Immigration status on Form I-94' field, should I indicate the status I held when I last entered the U.S. or my current status as per my H1B approval? Your expertise would be greatly appreciated in clarifying these nuances. Thank you for your dedication to helping navigate through these intricacies!
I apologize if boring you but i have a question, i recently goy asylee status and my wife and 2 kids are in Ethiopia. I believe, i will say "YES" to the question, is your wife/child applying with you?. Thank you in advance!!
Hi Kseniya, thank you for the great video! I have one question about traffic tickets: should only traffic tickets where you are stopped by police be disclosed, or also speed cameras, parking, etc?
Thank you so much for this video very detailed Pls I wanted to ask for the employment part,back in my country I was self employed I never worked for anyone in my life I just buy and sell online but since k moved to the USA I haven’t been running my business I stoped Should I indicate it there that I was self employed and if yes How do I indicate it Eg: unemployed- self employed?

thanks for video very impormative ,it helps a lot. ... i have a question can i apply green card form i-485 for my under age son (20yrs old) after passing interview and medical??? thanks in advance
Thank you so much for you awesome detailed video as always. One question about the social security card. If I answered "No" on item 14 ("Has the SSA ever officially issued a Social Security card to you"), I think it's still okay to say "Yes" on item 16 & 17 ("Do you want the SSA to issue you a Social Security card?"). Why do you recommend skipping these two items? Thank you in advance.
I also have this question, I believe we should say yes since question 17 says we authorize them to issue a card and assigning a SS number, and I saw somewhere else that in that way you could get the SSN and card with your work permit.
Hi Kseniya, I wanted to say thank you so much! Your videos are really helpful. I've just started filling out my forms and I have some doubts about the questions 79a in the I -485. I entered to USA 2 years ago with VISA B2, and I have not left the country since then. Should I answer No this question. or I should say yes because I've overstayed? thank you so much for all you do.
Hi Kseniya, me and my spouse is finishing up the concurrent package with your video. But the new price change on April 1st scared me. Is filing date the date we sent our package or the date they received? I'm so scared because I don't want the package sent back.
Thank you so much for making these videos! I have a question: on part 1 question 25.a.-d , when it asks “when I last arrived in the United States I…” My mom has a TPS and entered the U.S with an advanced parole , her I-94 says her class admission is CH. which one of these options is best and what would I put in the boxes to specify , thank you!
Hello Kseniya, I have a question regarding part 1 of the recent immigration history section. I entered the U.S. on a tourist visa on October 13, 2023, at the Orlando airport. I then went on a cruise to the Bahamas from January 22 to January 26, 2024, and returned to Port Canaveral. I was later granted an extension on my visa, with permission to stay until October 11, 2024. However, my I-94 form shows an Arrival/Issued Date of January 26, 2024 (when I returned from the Bahamas) and an Admit Until Date of April 12, 2024 (the original date from my entry in Orlando). For part 1 (questions 23a, 23b, and 24), which city and date should I list? Thank you so much for your help!
Kseniya You made a great video and thank you so much for helping. I just have some questions I hope you can help me with: Employment in I-485 A) I worked at Doordash and paid Tax for it (legal). B) I worked as an Uber, Lyft, and Amazon driver (illegal but I'll pay tax for them) (My visa is F-1 student) So is it self employment or what should I write on the form? And What about employment address for them? Should I write all them or Separate each one? Thank you May Allah bless you
Hi Kseniya, these videos are super helpful! I am in the process of applying for my mom and I had a question around what questions I should ans "yes" to in section 8 since she legally overstayed in the US during covid. She stayed for 11 months (instead of 6 months). She has a case no from USCIS with approval for extension of stay.
Hello Kseniya, nice step-by-step explanation. Regarding the Employement History, if one is working "under the table", and provide that information, can the Employer be hurt? Or, if we have a business in our name, should I indicate this in the employment history and say I'm a self -employee?
Kseniya thanks always for giving us supporting information. I’ve a question about NVC tho… 1. Once I sign in the steps were… Pay fee Submit ds-260 & Submit Affidavit of support Choice of agent (ds-261) link is disabled and is not working for most of us, I did research and most peoples has same issue. But I did pay, and submitted all documents already. Will there be a problem for not submitting ds-261? 2. Can I add joint sponsor after I submitted my I-864?
Hello, sorry I didn’t see this comment earlier. 1. Usually the issue resolves in a few days. It’s a common issue unfortunately 2. Potentially - if you don’t have an option to upload additional documents or “add a sponsor” you can always bring all the necessary joint sponsor documents to the interview
@@KseniyaInternational Thanks again for your response 🙏 I added joint sponsor without any problem, I submitted on March 26 and the approved my document on April 4 😃 Waiting for interview Letter now. Thanks for all your help ksenia, I wouldn’t do anything without the help of you🥂
I am wondering if it is better to apply online or paper. Please give me your suggestion. Also, I am currently living in an apartment & I will move. My friend said I can use his address as the mailing address. Should I use my current apartment address, or friends permanent address as the mailing address?
I have a few questions. 1.I am filing for both my parents concurrently . Can I leave space blank or should i write N/A at places where it does not apply? So it will be a mix of N/A's and some blanks. Please let me know 2. I am currently in the process of filling out multiple forms concurrently for my mother, who is residing in the USA. I would like to clarify the total fees required to be sent to USCIS for the following forms: Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative Form G-1145, E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance Form I-864, Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, including Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record Form I-131, Application for Travel Document (Travel Authorization) Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization (EAD) Could some please HELP to provide the total fees required for these forms and clarify whether the payment should be made using just one check covering all forms or separate checks for each form? THANKS
Hi. Thanks for your video! I have some difficulties with some questions, will be great to get advice. I have an Asylum status, granted in court. what do i need to answer in Page 10, Part 8, 18.

Have you EVER applied for any kind of relief or protection from removal, exclusion, or deportation? Do i need to answer yes?
Thank you so much @kseniyaInternational! I recently applied Marriage greencard packet 9/18/2023 and have now received my i130 & i485 approval without interview 4/17/2024. I credit you and your content with really helping me to understand a lot of the forms and jargons (ways to answer questions). I took four months to study the process and compile evidence and then submitted. Its pretty straightforward! Thanks to you!. May you have much success in all your endeavors.

Hi! I’m currently filling my green card paperwork watching these videos as guidance, I have a question! I’ve been living in the USA for a year now, and I arrived in a J1 visa last year, I went to my home country for vacation a couple of months ago, in page 2 when it asks me the last time I arrived in the USA, should I put when I arrived the first time in my J1 visa or when I came back from my vacation?
Hi! First, I want to THANK YOU for your amazing work! Your videos are very helpful for everyone. My question is: I'm filling I-130 for my parents (online) and I am sending I-485 for adjustment of status for both parents, can I submit the this request in the same envelope? Or do I have to send 2 separate envelope for each parent? Thank you
Hi Ma'am my I-485 and I-765 was rejected because of my husband's credit card was declined. Had my application back do i need to resend the forms that i had submitted or do I need to have a new filled out form since they stamp numbers in the bottom of every page of my forms? Do I need to print a new filled out form? Or just send it back to them along with the payment? Thank you
Hi Kseniya❤️.My husband is a Green Card holder and i’m the beneficary live in overseas.i-130 had already filed.Can we file i-485.İ saw the questions are about the visiting to USA,but as a beneficiary i have never been to USA. What can i do?
Hi Kseniya! Thank you so much for your helping videos! I am married to an American citizen and applying for both me and my son who is 16. For his application under public charge what should he put under size of household and income?
Great video!! Thank you! Just one question, if I arrived in the country with a visa but now I’m applying to AOS through work (I got my combo card) but now I’m applying through marriage (since there are not visas available for my current AOS) what should be my current immigration status, is it my visa or my advance parol?
Hi Kseniya, your videos are so helpful! I filled I-765 and was about to fill I-485 when I saw my the I-765 pdf was locked and required a password to print. I am not sure how that happened, do you have any advice on how to avoid that for the new files? I downloaded the files from USCIS website to my computer.
My husband won his asylum case and applied for a green car. I was approved to be added to his case and now I am filling out the form to apply for a green car. Should I select derivative or principal applicant in Part 2?
For Part 8 Eligibility/Inadmissibility first question if I was ever a member of a society .. So when I was in high school I was member of the National Honor Society which you get in, if you have excellent grades, show leadership, service and Character.. so should I answer yes to that ?
very good video, I have a question, my father in the children section, 31:00 "Is this child applying with you?" I assume that yes, at that time I was a minor, is it possible that I already have the green card then? or what is the procedure I should do?
Hi Kseniya, first of all many thanks to you for creating these videos! I have a question - I entered the USA 9 years ago on an F1 visa. Since then that passport has expired and I have a new one. Also, I am now on H1-B visa. I have not traveled internationally since then, so my I-94 still has information from the F1 visa. On the I-485 form, should I enter the details from my original I-94 form or should I use the I-94 from the I-797A of my H1-B? Thanks in advance!
Good morning Kseniya. Thanks for your awesome videos. Do you know an estimate of how long USCIS takes to make a decision after we respond to an RFE? Thanks
Thanks for all the great content. For Q 26.C, the form is not allowing me to add me to B2 and gives an error "Enter only letter and Space". I'm using the downloaded form and not on the browser. Do you have any suggestions on how to navigate this issue.
Hi Kseniya! I find your videos so helpful since I’m going through this process. I have a question about the “Current Immigration Status” question, if I send the package not long before my I-94 expires, should I write that I’m Out of Status? since when they are going to get the package my I-94 will be expired? or should I just leave it blank since I’m filling the information before that happens?
Hey Kseniya. Thanks for all the help with your videos! I sent out my package for adjust of status more than 30 days ago and I haven't received my receipt notice yet. Any tips about what should I do?
Hi Kseniya, have just found your video guides ! You are amazing, thank you so much for what you are doing :) I'm an Australian spouse. My American born husband has 2 adult children, do I list them as step children ? Also, I won a place in the DV lottery in 2021, lodged a ds260 but never got called for interview due to COVID. My application for immigration therefore wasn't made in Australia as such, should it still be listed in the 1485 or somewhere else in my AOS application ? I don't have a 'case number'. thanks so much
Hello Kseniya ihope you are doing well, 😀 I have finished my I-485 form but I have a question regarding the N/A. I have filled in all the blank spaces with N/A, but I have doubts about where I should not use N/A.❓ I hope you can help me I would really appreciate it. 🙏 Thank you in advance.
Hi! Thanks for your helpful video. I would like to know the priority date is which one concerning received date and notice date on I-797. Thanks in advance!
Hi thanks for the video I have a question part 1 25a question starts with Was inspected at a port of entry ..... what should be answer for F2 any idea?
Hi Kseniya, first of all, this video is so helpful! thank you so much!! I have a question concerning section 3, address history. If entering on visa waiver program and applying at the end of the 3 month visa window, how do I go about the address, as technically the official address is still in the country I came from? Hope that makes sense
Hi @barbaraschuh749 Just wondering, should you apply on day 89 of the 90 day window, day 90, or day 91? Im confused because I've seen people say to do it AFTER 90 days, but in my mind that would then mean I am here illegally when I file the forms? Hope things have gone well so far and you figured out your questions
Love how detail is you information!!! Thank you. What to do if no I 94 form was issued on the last entry? Can 't find it in the internet. There is an entry record but no I 94. Thanks in advance for your answer!!!
thank you first. I apply for my mom, my dad passed away, do I still need fill my moms marital info? Do I need to submit the death certificate of my dad? Urgent question. Thanks again
Thank you for your video! Can I fill out Applicant's Statement for my 10 and 14 years old kids as 1a ("I can read and understand English...") and sign it for them in Applicant's Signature?
@@maxmoriss the 14 year old should be signing the form themselves and check 1a (you can also put yourself as a preparer for both of them). But you can sign for the 10 year old

@KseniyaInternational I'm applying for my Mother, I spoke to some Attorneys and they making me confuse,do you think I just apply for her by myself?by watching your video it looked very plain and simple !
My husband is now petitioning for my daughter who is out of status. My GC is still pending however I am working. Never file taxes as I have only started working in Jan 2024. Can I fill out the i864A
First, thank your for your time! 👏🏼 I’m filling out the form I-485 on computer (I’ve downloaded the form from UCSIS website, directly) and there are some space that I am not able to type (like the part 14. Additional information, family last and first name). My question is: after print the filled out form can I write down with pen those part that are not possible to type ?
Hi Kseniya. First I wanna thank you for sharing all your expertise with us. I am an American citizen applying for my spouse and her child. Do you think it is okay enroll the kid in a public school before send the application pack? I mean I got two different advices from different attorneys and still wondering if it would be a problem for our process if the kid is in school without immigration status. Kid arrived in US 45 days ago. Thanks in advance.
@@KseniyaInternational Thanks for getting back to me. Yes, I've heard this same answer from other people and different answers from two different attorneys. My question is if it would hurt the process? I also heard YES it can hurt the immigration process and also I've heard NO. Really difficult to make a decision.
Hi Kseniya, Much Appreciated for detailed video. I have questions on PART 1, ITEM 23a and 23 b. I flew out to TORONTO for conference and while coming back my immigration was completed at Toronto Airport (TORONTO PRECLERANCE). What should I put in 23a and 23 b. As 23b doesn't have Ontario listed?
Hi Kseniya, for section 6.a. Who should sign it if a minor 13ys old, filing? Is it the preparer and is it a signature or just sign with a name? Also, section 8.a., does the preparer need to put signature? USCIS stated in there 797C I receive its not valid for this purpose for mother, guardian to sign however my wife is the preparer of the form. Thanks so much again

Wow first 2 pages already caught some small issues. Thank you so much!
Hi Kseniya, thank you for your informative video on completing the I-485 form, particularly the sections pertaining to questions 26a - 26c. I originally entered the U.S. on an F1 visa, and my I-94 from CBP website indicates an expiration date of 'D/S.' However, I've since changed status to H1B, and my latest I-797 Approval notice specifies a hard expiration date for my I-94.
I'm uncertain about which expiration date to use when filling out the form: should I go with the 'D/S' date from my initial entry, or the expiration date provided on my H1B approval notice? Additionally, when completing the 'Immigration status on Form I-94' field, should I indicate the status I held when I last entered the U.S. or my current status as per my H1B approval?
Your expertise would be greatly appreciated in clarifying these nuances. Thank you for your dedication to helping navigate through these intricacies!
Thank you Kseniya for all the videos that you are making- very useful and informative! God bless you and your family !
Omgggg i ve just sent last Thursday . I refered to your old videos and hope theres not much changes.....😢
I'm a big fan of your channel Kseniya! The videos are very well elaborated and very explained! Good Job. I'm referring it to all my friends!
Saw 10 mins of the video and immediately subscribed. This is a very helpful video.
I apologize if boring you but i have a question, i recently goy asylee status and my wife and 2 kids are in Ethiopia. I believe, i will say "YES" to the question, is your wife/child applying with you?. Thank you in advance!!
Thank you so much mam kseniyah for this guide of i-485 form im making now while watching your video🙏Godbless you..❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much, followed your instructions and got my green card application approved in 2months and 5days!!!!!!
Awesome details. Really thank you for the time you took to pull this together
Thank you so much for making this videos. God bless you and your family.❤
Hi Kseniya, thank you for the great video! I have one question about traffic tickets: should only traffic tickets where you are stopped by police be disclosed, or also speed cameras, parking, etc?
Exactly what I need at the moment! Thank you for all your guidance! Much appreciated!
Thank you so much! Very informative!👏🏾really appreciate it🙏🏾
Such a great video. Thank you so much for sharing this ☺️
Thank you so much for this video very detailed
Pls I wanted to ask for the employment part,back in my country I was self employed I never worked for anyone in my life I just buy and sell online but since k moved to the USA I haven’t been running my business I stoped
Should I indicate it there that I was self employed and if yes
How do I indicate it
Eg: unemployed- self employed?
I’m actually confused
thanks for video very impormative ,it helps a lot. ... i have a question can i apply green card form i-485 for my under age son (20yrs old) after passing interview and medical??? thanks in advance
Thank you Ksenia. Regarding Social Security card question; I didn't have any SSN, but I checked "YES" `16-17, how it will affect my application.
me too
Both of you will be fine! You'll be getting a social security card!
Me too Im worry about that.. because it made sense to me to answer yes to 16 & 17 for a SSN card because I don’t have one 😅🫣
Hi, is the COVID-19 vaccine a requirement? I didn’t hear you talk about it in the video,
Hi! Yes, you will need your COVID vaccine to complete your medical exam that USCIS requires
@@yeseniasandoval440 can you help me clarify this, if we are sending 2 parents petitions, can we send them in the same packet?
Thank you so much for you awesome detailed video as always. One question about the social security card. If I answered "No" on item 14 ("Has the SSA ever officially issued a Social Security card to you"), I think it's still okay to say "Yes" on item 16 & 17 ("Do you want the SSA to issue you a Social Security card?"). Why do you recommend skipping these two items? Thank you in advance.
I also have this question, I believe we should say yes since question 17 says we authorize them to issue a card and assigning a SS number, and I saw somewhere else that in that way you could get the SSN and card with your work permit.
Hi Kseniya, I wanted to say thank you so much! Your videos are really helpful. I've just started filling out my forms and I have some doubts about the questions 79a in the I -485. I entered to USA 2 years ago with VISA B2, and I have not left the country since then. Should I answer No this question. or I should say yes because I've overstayed? thank you so much for all you do.
Hi Kseniya, me and my spouse is finishing up the concurrent package with your video. But the new price change on April 1st scared me. Is filing date the date we sent our package or the date they received? I'm so scared because I don't want the package sent back.
The day you send the documents
Thank you so much for making these videos! I have a question: on part 1 question 25.a.-d , when it asks “when I last arrived in the United States I…”
My mom has a TPS and entered the U.S with an advanced parole , her I-94 says her class admission is CH. which one of these options is best and what would I put in the boxes to specify , thank you!
Hello Kseniya,
I have a question regarding part 1 of the recent immigration history section. I entered the U.S. on a tourist visa on October 13, 2023, at the Orlando airport. I then went on a cruise to the Bahamas from January 22 to January 26, 2024, and returned to Port Canaveral. I was later granted an extension on my visa, with permission to stay until October 11, 2024. However, my I-94 form shows an Arrival/Issued Date of January 26, 2024 (when I returned from the Bahamas) and an Admit Until Date of April 12, 2024 (the original date from my entry in Orlando).
For part 1 (questions 23a, 23b, and 24), which city and date should I list?
Thank you so much for your help!
Kseniya
You made a great video and thank you so much for helping.
I just have some questions I hope you can help me with:
Employment in I-485
A) I worked at Doordash and paid Tax for it (legal).
B) I worked as an Uber, Lyft, and Amazon driver (illegal but I'll pay tax for them)
(My visa is F-1 student)
So is it self employment or what should I write on the form? And What about employment address for them? Should I write all them or Separate each one?
Thank you
May Allah bless you
Hi Kseniya, these videos are super helpful! I am in the process of applying for my mom and I had a question around what questions I should ans "yes" to in section 8 since she legally overstayed in the US during covid. She stayed for 11 months (instead of 6 months). She has a case no from USCIS with approval for extension of stay.
@@mystiquet2 if her extension of stay was approved then she did not overstay
which answer should I select for the question 1.a. Family Based when petitioner spouse is a permanent resident?
Hello Kseniya, nice step-by-step explanation. Regarding the Employement History, if one is working "under the table", and provide that information, can the Employer be hurt? Or, if we have a business in our name, should I indicate this in the employment history and say I'm a self -employee?
Your video is awesome!! very helpfu, Thank you so much
So.. How would you answer some of these questions if you were granted parole in place. How would you answer the place of entry questions?
Kseniya thanks always for giving us supporting information. I’ve a question about NVC tho…
1. Once I sign in the steps were…
Pay fee
Submit ds-260 &
Submit Affidavit of support
Choice of agent (ds-261) link is disabled and is not working for most of us, I did research and most peoples has same issue.
But I did pay, and submitted all documents already. Will there be a problem for not submitting ds-261?
2. Can I add joint sponsor after I submitted my I-864?
Hello, sorry I didn’t see this comment earlier.
1. Usually the issue resolves in a few days. It’s a common issue unfortunately
2. Potentially - if you don’t have an option to upload additional documents or “add a sponsor” you can always bring all the necessary joint sponsor documents to the interview
@@KseniyaInternational Thanks again for your response 🙏
I added joint sponsor without any problem, I submitted on March 26 and the approved my document on April 4 😃
Waiting for interview Letter now.
Thanks for all your help ksenia, I wouldn’t do anything without the help of you🥂
I am wondering if it is better to apply online or paper. Please give me your suggestion. Also, I am currently living in an apartment & I will move. My friend said I can use his address as the mailing address. Should I use my current apartment address, or friends permanent address as the mailing address?
I have a few questions.
1.I am filing for both my parents concurrently . Can I leave space blank or should i write N/A at places where it does not apply? So it will be a mix of N/A's and some blanks. Please let me know
2. I am currently in the process of filling out multiple forms concurrently for my mother, who is residing in the USA. I would like to clarify the total fees required to be sent to USCIS for the following forms:
Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative
Form G-1145, E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance
Form I-864, Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA
Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, including Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record
Form I-131, Application for Travel Document (Travel Authorization)
Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization (EAD)
Could some please HELP to provide the total fees required for these forms and clarify whether the payment should be made using just one check covering all forms or separate checks for each form? THANKS

Hi! I’m currently filling my green card paperwork watching these videos as guidance, I have a question!

Hi! First, I want to THANK YOU for your amazing work! Your videos are very helpful for everyone. My question is: I'm filling I-130 for my parents (online) and I am sending I-485 for adjustment of status for both parents, can I submit the this request in the same envelope? Or do I have to send 2 separate envelope for each parent? Thank you

Hi Ma'am my I-485 and I-765 was rejected because of my husband's credit card was declined. Had my application back do i need to resend the forms that i had submitted or do I need to have a new filled out form since they stamp numbers in the bottom of every page of my forms?
Do I need to print a new filled out form? Or just send it back to them along with the payment? Thank you
Hi Kseniya❤️.My husband is a Green Card holder and i’m the beneficary live in overseas.i-130 had already filed.Can we file i-485.İ saw the questions are about the visiting to USA,but as a beneficiary i have never been to USA. What can i do?
Hi Kseniya! Thank you so much for your helping videos! I am married to an American citizen and applying for both me and my son who is 16. For his application under public charge what should he put under size of household and income?
Great video!! Thank you! Just one question, if I arrived in the country with a visa but now I’m applying to AOS through work (I got my combo card) but now I’m applying through marriage (since there are not visas available for my current AOS) what should be my current immigration status, is it my visa or my advance parol?
Advance parole is not a status so whatever status was before that if it’s still active or visa overstay if it’s expired
@@KseniyaInternational thank you so much!
Hi Kseniya, your videos are so helpful! I filled I-765 and was about to fill I-485 when I saw my the I-765 pdf was locked and required a password to print. I am not sure how that happened, do you have any advice on how to avoid that for the new files? I downloaded the files from USCIS website to my computer.
My husband won his asylum case and applied for a green car. I was approved to be added to his case and now I am filling out the form to apply for a green car. Should I select derivative or principal applicant in Part 2?
For Part 8 Eligibility/Inadmissibility first question if I was ever a member of a society .. So when I was in high school I was member of the National Honor Society which you get in, if you have excellent grades, show leadership, service and Character.. so should I answer yes to that ?
very good video, I have a question, my father in the children section, 31:00 "Is this child applying with you?" I assume that yes, at that time I was a minor, is it possible that I already have the green card then? or what is the procedure I should do?
Do I have to list my spouses biological and adopted stepchildren even if they are above 21 years old?
Thanks a lot for the detailed video!
What should we be doing while waiting on the processing of your I-485 and I-140 forms? I did concurrent filing of both forms.
Hi Kseniya, first of all many thanks to you for creating these videos!
I have a question - I entered the USA 9 years ago on an F1 visa. Since then that passport has expired and I have a new one. Also, I am now on H1-B visa. I have not traveled internationally since then, so my I-94 still has information from the F1 visa. On the I-485 form, should I enter the details from my original I-94 form or should I use the I-94 from the I-797A of my H1-B? Thanks in advance!

Good morning Kseniya. Thanks for your awesome videos. Do you know an estimate of how long USCIS takes to make a decision after we respond to an RFE? Thanks
It varies! Some take 3 days ,a year. All depends on the IO(immigration officer) doing ya case
hi kenya, my wife is working in a cruiseship and we decided to file a leave of absence for her. can we still put her for household income?

YES or NO have you been denied a visa to the united states. My F1 visa was denied first time and approved the second time. what should be the answer ?
Thanks for all the great content. For Q 26.C, the form is not allowing me to add me to B2 and gives an error "Enter only letter and Space". I'm using the downloaded form and not on the browser. Do you have any suggestions on how to navigate this issue.
Hi Kseniya! I find your videos so helpful since I’m going through this process. I have a question about the “Current Immigration Status” question, if I send the package not long before my I-94 expires, should I write that I’m Out of Status? since when they are going to get the package my I-94 will be expired? or should I just leave it blank since I’m filling the information before that happens?
Do I need to fill out the blank spaces that don't apply to me with N/A or leave it blank ?
Hey Kseniya. Thanks for all the help with your videos!
I sent out my package for adjust of status more than 30 days ago and I haven't received my receipt notice yet. Any tips about what should I do?

Hi Kseniya, have just found your video guides ! You are amazing, thank you so much for what you are doing :) I'm an Australian spouse. My American born husband has 2 adult children, do I list them as step children ? Also, I won a place in the DV lottery in 2021, lodged a ds260 but never got called for interview due to COVID. My application for immigration therefore wasn't made in Australia as such, should it still be listed in the 1485 or somewhere else in my AOS application ? I don't have a 'case number'.
thanks so much

Hi Kseniya, first of all, this video is so helpful! thank you so much!! I have a question concerning section 3, address history. If entering on visa waiver program and applying at the end of the 3 month visa window, how do I go about the address, as technically the official address is still in the country I came from? Hope that makes sense
Hi @barbaraschuh749
Just wondering, should you apply on day 89 of the 90 day window, day 90, or day 91?
Im confused because I've seen people say to do it AFTER 90 days, but in my mind that would then mean I am here illegally when I file the forms?
Hope things have gone well so far and you figured out your questions
I was wondering the same thing. I will do it at the end of the window, like day 87, considering mailing time. So I don’t overstay my visa.
I’m an agent and I completed the I-485 and I-140 forms on behalf of a beneficiary. How do I make sure USCIS responds to me and not to the beneficiary?
