1st. Kseniya, I want to thank you because in one of your videos I asked you about my i485 Adjustment of Status being too long out of processing time and you recommended me to contact a congressman representative. And I did contact one here in Orlando FL on March 06 2024 and they answered me at the next day and my i485 just got approved this March 23 2024. Thank you very much for your advise.

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 ?
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!!
Kseniya , Thanks again for the Guide, could you please help me with these questions? Part 1: 26.b / 26.c / 26 So basically I'm Asylee now, I didn't come to U.S with a visa or something like that. I got my I - 94 After I won asylum. Basically what my I - 94 says is USCIS ASYLUM STATUS Granted Indefinitely JAN 04 2024, 'IJ Grant' And back page says 'ASYLUUM GRANTED BY IJ ON : JANUARY 4, 2024' Port, Date, Carrier, Flight No, are all empty. So what do I write in 26.b , 26.c , 27? Please help 😔 Thanks a lot😍
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!
Page 8 of status adjustment part6 information about your children (I don't have children, my husband has 2 independent and married children I put 0 or 2 if I put 2 stepchildren I put it on page 20 part 14 stating that 2 of my husband's children are married and dependents? Or 0 and nothing else?
Hello! I just found your channel and I just want to thank you for being thorough and explaining everything step by step! There is a new i-485 form (Expires 10/31/27, Edition 10/24/24). This is in a different format than the one in this video. Will you be creating a tutorial for this new version?
Hi thank you so much for your very explained video. May I ask you when should I fill N/A or just leaving a blank (for exemple Middle name, kid number 3, A number…) it is very confusing and I can’t get a clear answer from internet. It says clearly in the instruction to answer N/A unless otherwise directed..
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.
I am really confused by the i-94 information I should provide. My spouse arrived under B2 but currently has TPS. What should we put for 25a vs 26c? I also cannot find any record on the i94 website, as it comes back with no record despite having all the correct information.
Здравствуйте! К сожалению, не нашел ответа на свой вопрос. Я живу отельно от матери, моего спонсора по семейной петиции. При заполнении её анкеты I-864 размер household автоматически считается 2. Что мне писать в таком случае в моей анкете i-485 о размере household? 1 или 2? Спасибо.
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?
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, I hope you see my comment. I was trying to track my case on the EOIR page and when i wrote down my Alien number, it was someone else's name and I received a Notice of administrative closure. I don't know what to do, I already called but they told me nothing.
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.
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
Hi Kseniya! Thank you so much for your videos. One question about P.2 Question 16 & 17, should I answer ‘YES’ because I do want to be given a SSN? I’m a bit confused why I would skip answering those questions when I don’t have a SSN. Thank you🙏🏻
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. THANK YOU FOR EMPOWERING THE PEOPLE!
Hi Kseniya, thank you for all the help you provided, but I would like to point out that your answer to Part 1 question 16-17 about Social Security Card seems not correct. The instruction said "If your application is approved, the SSA may assign you an SSN and issue you a Social Security card, or issue you a replacement card. If you want the SSA to assign you a Social Security number and issue you a Social Security card, or issue you a new or replacement Social Security card, then answer “Yes” to both Item Number 16. and Item Number 17". Based on that, most of the applicant would pick "Yes" for 16 and 17. You said it's only applied to "replace a card" seems not correct. Do you agree?
@@songli5486 SSA will never issue a new number if you already have one. But they will issue a new card if you request it. If you don’t have an SSN you will obviously answer yes to get a new number.
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 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.
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
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?
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!
@@KseniyaInternational Awesome, thanks. Using Microsoft Edge worked. Could you tell me something else? My A-Number on the i797_i140 approval form is different from the one on my OPT EAD and USCIS Account. Which one should I use on the I-485 form?
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?
I sent in a I-485 but it was sent back in that package i accidentally put no on 17 but yes on 16 how will this affect but there was a lot of errors we filled out on this I-485 but we are now sending in a new one with correct info
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
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
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?

@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 !
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.
Subscribed now 😀 Hope its ok but will ask my question again now to be able to keep track. Yourvideos are just amazing ! Thank you so very much, when i figure how to safely do it will buy you some coffee 😊. My American born husband has adult children, do i add them as step children ? Also, I won an oppoirtunity on the DV lottery a few years ago, lodged a ds260 but due to covid never offered an interview. Do i add this here or somewhere else on my AOS journey ❤
They’re only considered your stepchildren if you got married before they turned 18. You’ll mention if you’ve ever applied for an immigrant visa overseas on the form I-485 in one of the questions
Thankyou so very much. The application was lodged directly to the states and didnt get to be sent to an Australian embassy office so which embassy should be listed. Ive looked but dont think i was ever isdued an alien or case number, does that sound right to you ?@KseniyaInternational
@@KseniyaInternational thankyou anyway... Almost ready to lodge. It keeps prompting us to lodge divorce paperwork for me although we'd clearly stated I'd only had 1 (the current) marriage... We figure to just ignore it. I'm also overthinking the 130A should have seperate attatchments but it's part of 130 and we have added soooo much supporting evidence. 😀
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. Are you presently or have you EVER been in removal, exclusion, rescission, or deportation proceedings? Do i need to answer yes? Page 10, Part 8, 23. Have you EVER applied for any kind of relief or protection from removal, exclusion, or deportation? Do i need to answer yes?
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?
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, and thank you for your detailed videos. You really help clarify these confusing processes. I have an urgent question. When filing the I-130 online, is it sufficient to send a copy of the online I-797 receipt with the paper I-485, or must it absolutely be a copy of the 797 paper version that is sent by USCIS in the mail? We are on time constraints to send in the 485 and cannot wait on the paper 797. Thanks in advance!
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!
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🥂

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.
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 ?
Hello, I am as refugee in the USA. We came here with I-94 . I have a question we was in Turkey when we got travel document .in the form is country that issued this travel document .I don't know what should I write? Is it Turkey?right?
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 ?

BEST VIDEO EVER. Thank you so much
Thank you so much for making this videos. God bless you and your family.❤
Thank you so much mam kseniyah for this guide of i-485 form im making now while watching your video🙏Godbless you..❤❤❤❤
Exactly what I need at the moment! Thank you for all your guidance! Much appreciated!
Kseniya , Thanks again for the Guide, could you please help me with these questions?
Part 1: 26.b / 26.c / 26
So basically I'm Asylee now, I didn't come to U.S with a visa or something like that.
I got my I - 94 After I won asylum.
Basically what my I - 94 says is USCIS ASYLUM STATUS Granted Indefinitely JAN 04 2024, 'IJ Grant'
And back page says 'ASYLUUM GRANTED BY IJ ON : JANUARY 4, 2024'
Port, Date, Carrier, Flight No, are all empty.
So what do I write in 26.b , 26.c , 27?
Please help 😔
Thanks a lot😍
Omgggg i ve just sent last Thursday . I refered to your old videos and hope theres not much changes.....😢
Such a great video. Thank you so much for sharing this ☺️
Thank you so much! Very informative!👏🏾really appreciate it🙏🏾
Hi ,kseniya its a big help ❤️❤️❤️thank you for sharing this all info,
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!
THE BEST ONE!
Your video is awesome!! very helpfu, Thank you so much
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 😅🫣
Page 8 of status adjustment part6 information about your children (I don't have children, my husband has 2 independent and married children I put 0 or 2 if I put 2 stepchildren I put it on page 20 part 14 stating that 2 of my husband's children are married and dependents? Or 0 and nothing else?
This was soooo helpful thank you so much!
Thank you so much, followed your instructions and got my green card application approved in 2months and 5days!!!!!!
Hello! I just found your channel and I just want to thank you for being thorough and explaining everything step by step! There is a new i-485 form (Expires 10/31/27, Edition 10/24/24). This is in a different format than the one in this video. Will you be creating a tutorial for this new version?
Hi thank you so much for your very explained video. May I ask you when should I fill N/A or just leaving a blank (for exemple Middle name, kid number 3, A number…) it is very confusing and I can’t get a clear answer from internet.
It says clearly in the instruction to answer N/A unless otherwise directed..
Thank you very informative video 👍
Thank you❤
Thanks for your information. I’m trying to get copy of my son I-94 and I’m not seeing it. I entered the information and it kept saying wrong
Are u putting the exact name that's on the passport??
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
I am really confused by the i-94 information I should provide. My spouse arrived under B2 but currently has TPS. What should we put for 25a vs 26c? I also cannot find any record on the i94 website, as it comes back with no record despite having all the correct information.
I also cannot find any records of mine and I don't know what to do. What did you put in?
Hi Kseniya, I wonder when you will have the new guide for the latest version for the I-485 which the USCIS just published, thank you!
If the spouse of the applicant is deceased, how to answer the question?
Please and thank you 🙏
Hi, is the COVID-19 vaccine a requirement? I didn’t hear you talk about it in the video,

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?
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, I hope you see my comment. I was trying to track my case on the EOIR page and when i wrote down my Alien number, it was someone else's name and I received a Notice of administrative closure. I don't know what to do, I already called but they told me nothing.
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.
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

Hi Kseniya! Thank you so much for your videos. One question about P.2 Question 16 & 17, should I answer ‘YES’ because I do want to be given a SSN? I’m a bit confused why I would skip answering those questions when I don’t have a SSN. Thank you🙏🏻
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. THANK YOU FOR EMPOWERING THE PEOPLE!
Congratulations 🥳
Hi Kseniya, thank you for all the help you provided, but I would like to point out that your answer to Part 1 question 16-17 about Social Security Card seems not correct. The instruction said "If your application is approved, the SSA may assign you an SSN and issue you a Social Security card, or issue you
a replacement card. If you want the SSA to assign you a Social Security number and issue you a Social Security
card, or issue you a new or replacement Social Security card, then answer “Yes” to both Item Number 16. and
Item Number 17". Based on that, most of the applicant would pick "Yes" for 16 and 17. You said it's only applied to "replace a card" seems not correct. Do you agree?
@@songli5486 SSA will never issue a new number if you already have one. But they will issue a new card if you request it. If you don’t have an SSN you will obviously answer yes to get a new number.
your video said it another way, or maybe it's just me. Thank you, I admire your work ethic. I will share with everyone who needs help.
@@songli5486 no problem I should’ve made it clearer
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!!!
@@martharivera-june2507 have you tried on cbp.gov?
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.
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
You would fill it in prior spouses part

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?
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!
26.c doesn't let me type numbers. I want to write "F1" but I can only type "F". What should I do?
Use Adobe for desktop or write it in black pen or “add text” in Microsoft edge
@@KseniyaInternational Awesome, thanks. Using Microsoft Edge worked. Could you tell me something else? My A-Number on the i797_i140 approval form is different from the one on my OPT EAD and USCIS Account. Which one should I use on the I-485 form?
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?
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?
On part 6. My wife is a citizen and has 3 children, so do I put 3 on the children? I have no child of my own though
I sent in a I-485 but it was sent back in that package i accidentally put no on 17 but yes on 16 how will this affect but there was a lot of errors we filled out on this I-485 but we are now sending in a new one with correct info
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
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)

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

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.
Subscribed now 😀
Hope its ok but will ask my question again now to be able to keep track.
Yourvideos are just amazing ! Thank you so very much, when i figure how to safely do it will buy you some coffee 😊.
My American born husband has adult children, do i add them as step children ? Also, I won an oppoirtunity on the DV lottery a few years ago, lodged a ds260 but due to covid never offered an interview. Do i add this here or somewhere else on my AOS journey ❤
They’re only considered your stepchildren if you got married before they turned 18.
You’ll mention if you’ve ever applied for an immigrant visa overseas on the form I-485 in one of the questions
Thankyou so very much. The application was lodged directly to the states and didnt get to be sent to an Australian embassy office so which embassy should be listed. Ive looked but dont think i was ever isdued an alien or case number, does that sound right to you ?@KseniyaInternational
Coffees bought ! Took a wee minute from outa Oz xx❤

@@KseniyaInternational thankyou anyway... Almost ready to lodge. It keeps prompting us to lodge divorce paperwork for me although we'd clearly stated I'd only had 1 (the current) marriage...

Excellent video 23:32
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, and thank you for your detailed videos. You really help clarify these confusing processes. I have an urgent question. When filing the I-130 online, is it sufficient to send a copy of the online I-797 receipt with the paper I-485, or must it absolutely be a copy of the 797 paper version that is sent by USCIS in the mail? We are on time constraints to send in the 485 and cannot wait on the paper 797. Thanks in advance!
Online receipt is sufficient
Great! Thank you for your quick reply!

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 🙏
