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!
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!

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!!!
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 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!
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, 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.
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
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
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, the passport with K1visa I used to enter Usa is expired. I have US passport for many years and I travelled back to my homeland and in the last arrival, I used this US passport( no visa on this passport)to enter US Which passport I use to fill in question 18-27? Thank you so much.
Hey Kseniya, I have a question, if the I94 show a old date but you have a application to extend, should we put the date from the I94 even if its old? or acctually the date from the extension?
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. 😀
Hello, I want to thank you for your videos. Also I have a question regarding the filling of my I484 application, I enter the county back in 2001 in a I94 WT stay for almost a year and then I left US for 3 weeks for family matters and re enter US again with I94 WT in 2002 and stay up to present time. I am having issues filling the part 8 question 78a, 78b and 79a, I will greatly appreciate if you guide me to answer this questions. Thank you in advance
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, 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.
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!
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 Kseniya, I applied the same way you described in your video. I am waiting for work permit to come its been already 3 months. How much time do you think its going to take
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?
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, thank you for your videos, they have been helping me and my husband a lot! I have one question regarding the SS card: it has a 'valid for work only with DHS authorization' message written on it, if I request a new one, it will come without that message?
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, 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!
hi Kseniya, Thank you for all the videos. I have a question on Part 1, 26.c. Status on Form I-94. The recent form does no allow to enter numbers in that space, only letters, so in that case should I write the number by hand for B2? I appreciate it
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
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
ksenita intenational what would u put in the employment page if my parent overstayed so no work permit obviously , work under the table so do u fill it unemployed??
Hello Kseniya I hope all is well, I’m trying to apply for adjustment of status but I lost the passport that I used when I last enter the country and it’s something that it’s asked to provide in the application. I tried retrieving from my consulate it but they don’t keep those records. I do have my AP paper that was stamped at the inspection. Any insight on this? Thanks and take care!!!
Hi Kseniya, thank you for your videos. I have been filling out myself my forms, and your videos have clarified some doubts. However, I would like to ask you. In the section Recent Immigration History. The passport I used in my last arrival is not the same where my visa is , so should I still input my visa # there or not? Thank you in advance
@@anaromerov I assume you have to put the number of the passport you submitted for inspection on your last entry, even if the visa is on an older, expired passport. This is because that number is the one associated with your visa on your last entry, not the expired one.
Hi Kseniya! USCIS finally returned my package to me after 2 months. It had to be returned because my payment didn't go through. I know I will have to exchange a few pages (for example, I came on a K1 visa but now I am out of status on I-94, meanwhile wheh I initially sent my package I was not, so I'll have to change that), but the rest could definitely be reused, such as IRS statements etc. Is it okay to send them some of newly printed papers and some of the same ones I sent first and they returned? My whole package has numbers printed on bottom of all the pages. So should I just reprint everything because they'll have to put new numbers?
@@user-ht2wf6lm8x you can reuse your evidence but do not mix and match pages on the actual forms. If you have to make a correction just print out a new form. Also double check that your forms still have the same edition dates at the bottom as on the USCIS site.
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🥂
Privet Kseniya (: If your Visa is on an old expired passport, and in your recent arrival you entered with your recent one, but the Visa is on an even older one, should you still fill that? because it wants the Visa from the passport you entered with and that's not the case
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 ?
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 question regarding the employment history section. The question says "the last 5 years," and in parentheses it says "current or most recent," but being a student is not part of the employment history. However, in Form I-130A, the employment history question says "current employment" and does not say "or most recent," so I'm not sure if in Form I-485, what should be included is the last job you had, not your current student status. Thank you for your help and videos.
Thank you @Kseniya. Please i will like to ask if a principal applicant and derivative applicant are applying for I-485 together, do they pay just one application fee (1440usd) or pay separately?
Hi Kseniya! 1st on the employment history, I was a J1 trainee for a year should I also put that on the employment or no? 2nd on the marital history q#2, if my spouse is retired us armed forces is he still considered a current member of the armed forces or no?
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?
Hello, can you please help on the 25th question 25.a. I came in to the US on a K1 visa, I'm confused how to put that and if I need to check 25.d. box as well. I would appreciate the help please. :)
if my spouse came in the country on a B2 visitor visa but then switched to TPS / asylum pending, would we answer YES or NO for question part 8 question 17? Also a little confused if this would cause section 8 question 23 to be YES as well?
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
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😍
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?

Hello. What happen if you submit I-485 instead of CR1 visa in my home country? We mistakenly put status adjustment in the united states instead of continuing to process im consulate. You answer will much appreciated. Thank you.
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?
In the question 17 if I overstay after my humanitarian parole terms expiration but I applied for asylum, should I choose yes or no? Or it will be explained in the question 23 where I also have to choose yes?

Omgggg i ve just sent last Thursday . I refered to your old videos and hope theres not much changes.....😢
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, 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’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?
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.

Both of you will be fine! You'll be getting a social security card!

THANK YOU FOR EMPOWERING THE PEOPLE!
Congratulations 🥳
Do I need to fill out the blank spaces that don't apply to me with N/A or leave it blank ?
Thank you very informative video 👍
Thank you❤
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?
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
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?
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 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!
Thanks!
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, 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
thank you for the clear explanation , I've a question when this form is submitted ? with the i-130 or after ?
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
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
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, the passport with K1visa I used to enter Usa is expired. I have US passport for many years and I travelled back to my homeland and in the last arrival, I used this US passport( no visa on this passport)to enter US Which passport I use to fill in question 18-27? Thank you so much.
Hey Kseniya, I have a question, if the I94 show a old date but you have a application to extend, should we put the date from the I94 even if its old? or acctually the date from the extension?
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❤
@@JaneCaulfield-db3gm I’m not sure in that case
@@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. 😀
Hello, I want to thank you for your videos.
Also I have a question regarding the filling of my I484 application, I enter the county back in 2001 in a I94 WT stay for almost a year and then I left US for 3 weeks for family matters and re enter US again with I94 WT in 2002 and stay up to present time.
I am having issues filling the part 8 question 78a, 78b and 79a, I will greatly appreciate if you guide me to answer this questions. Thank you in advance
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, 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
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!

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 ?
Yes you can
Hello Kseniya, I applied the same way you described in your video. I am waiting for work permit to come its been already 3 months. How much time do you think its going to take

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?
Thank you for your detailed guidance. How do Canadians fill out questions 25 to 27 since we don't need visa for US?
Even if you entered on a visa waiver you can obtain your I-94 online or by contacting CBP

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?
How much cost for my wife and her daughter to apply for i485 do i need to apply separate i485 for her daughter they under k1 and k2
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!
hi Kseniya, Thank you for all the videos. I have a question on Part 1, 26.c. Status on Form I-94. The recent form does no allow to enter numbers in that space, only letters, so in that case should I write the number by hand for B2? I appreciate it
You can
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
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

Hello Kseniya I hope all is well, I’m trying to apply for adjustment of status but I lost the passport that I used when I last enter the country and it’s something that it’s asked to provide in the application. I tried retrieving from my consulate it but they don’t keep those records.
I do have my AP paper that was stamped at the inspection. Any insight on this?
Thanks and take care!!!

Hi Kseniya, thank you for your videos. I have been filling out myself my forms, and your videos have clarified some doubts. However, I would like to ask you. In the section Recent Immigration History. The passport I used in my last arrival is not the same where my visa is , so should I still input my visa # there or not? Thank you in advance
@@anaromerov I assume you have to put the number of the passport you submitted for inspection on your last entry, even if the visa is on an older, expired passport. This is because that number is the one associated with your visa on your last entry, not the expired one.
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!
USCIS finally returned my package to me after 2 months. It had to be returned because my payment didn't go through.
I know I will have to exchange a few pages (for example, I came on a K1 visa but now I am out of status on I-94, meanwhile wheh I initially sent my package I was not, so I'll have to change that), but the rest could definitely be reused, such as IRS statements etc.
Is it okay to send them some of newly printed papers and some of the same ones I sent first and they returned? My whole package has numbers printed on bottom of all the pages.
So should I just reprint everything because they'll have to put new numbers?
@@user-ht2wf6lm8x you can reuse your evidence but do not mix and match pages on the actual forms. If you have to make a correction just print out a new form. Also double check that your forms still have the same edition dates at the bottom as on the USCIS site.
what if I used new passport to enter US and visa was on my old passport. Should I fill out visa number under new passport number? Part One 18 and 22.
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!
I entered unlawfully, i married and got military parole in place. How i answer question 25a to 29b
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🥂

If your Visa is on an old expired passport, and in your recent arrival you entered with your recent one, but the Visa is on an even older one, should you still fill that? because it wants the Visa from the passport you entered with and that's not the case
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 ?
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 question regarding the employment history section. The question says "the last 5 years," and in parentheses it says "current or most recent," but being a student is not part of the employment history. However, in Form I-130A, the employment history question says "current employment" and does not say "or most recent," so I'm not sure if in Form I-485, what should be included is the last job you had, not your current student status.
Thank you for your help and videos.
@@alexanderbermudez956 you can still include student - keep it consistent across applications
