Comment from : Kseniya International

Just want to start by saying thank you so much for making these videos! I would be completely lost without your help I do have a question if you could help me before submitting my application Do I have to submit the adjustment of status along with the I-130?
Comment from : Jose Bustos

8 identical passport-style photos for one person feels insane to me Does anyone know why two aren't enough? 😩 I thought it was just to verify identity and use for the creation of the GC?
Comment from : Kristen Lee

How about biometric so I have to get g1450 for biometric too or it’s already included with I485 form fee ?

Comment from : Sameh Saleeb

Dear Kseniya! We want to THANK YOU for your expertise and most importantly, your willingness to generously share it with the world My husband and I benefited so much from this video and followed your instructions every step of the way He just got his green card in June after we filled it in March 2022 without having to interview Now we're passing along our knowledge to our friends who will be going through the same process, and of course, have recommended your channel to them Bless you, and we really can't thank you enough!!! We are so grateful!
Comment from : Xiali Shi

Hi Kseniya,brI have applied for I130 online I have few questions:br1 After applying online, I got a receipt notice Should I be expecting an approval notice by mail, before I can submit my I485 and other forms? Is approval notice different from receipt notice? or Should I just attach the copy of receipt notice?brI am confused here, as the online I130 receipt notice doesnot say it is I797 anywherebrbr2 Since I submitted my I130 online, should I attach a copy of I130 and I130A along with my I485? Also, I have uploaded all the proofs while filing I130, should I submit a copy of those as well along with I485?
Comment from : Aadav

Doesn't I-130 has to be filed online? as well as I-130A? so why did you send them in Mail and include photos?
Comment from : Wonder

I’m not looking to travel outside the country, so do I need to apply for advance parole? Because I read it’s not a guarantee you may get back in
Comment from : Pon the Corna

Is that photo crap real? Why do I need 10 photos wtf? Its all in the same packet everything being submitted together
Comment from : Kyle Couture

Comment from : kawsar saad

I AM ONLY DOING I-130 FOR A CHILD WHAT SHOULD I SEND WITH IT
Comment from : Musa Ali

Gratitude on behalf of my family and all the others who were just too shy to comment Question- Should a child be another person being petitioned for simultaneously as the wife of sponsor/mother of child, do they also need 8 photos?
Comment from : Fiona Green

Please when I fill for multiple immediate relative like wife and 2 stepchildren, even each one has individual application is possible send in the same envelope , or I have to send also in separate envelope to USCIS ? Many thanks for your help
Comment from : Fernanda Dallicani

The I-485 fee has to include the biometrics as well right?
Comment from : Nimesha

Really…Congratulations 🎉 you are awesome 👏🏼 thank you for all your dedication to facilitate us this process Thank so so much!! I checked a lot of videos in Spanish and English but really really you are the best 👏🏼
Comment from : Luisana Amarista

Great videos and information! Very helpful!brDo you recommend including any photos of the spouses together on vacations or in general to help with evidence, or is that not very helpful?
Comment from : Vladi - On A Budget

Would i put the money orders in the bag or behind the bag?
Comment from : V1ZExVENOM

Hi Kseniya,brbrJust wanted to thank you for your videos I applied for a marriage based green card watching your videos and today our case was approved So a big thank you 😊😊
Comment from : Karishma Bansal

Comment from : JadeTin

I just have some questions on filing brIs the 693 form ( medical exam) required to along with I-130 and I-485?
Comment from : Irish Cristel Olavario

Hi Thank you for sharing this video It really helps me right now to file for application for green card
Comment from : Irish Cristel Olavario

Thanks for your helpful video! Helped us a lot! brAlso, they may allow sticky tabs again, here is a quote from USCIS which was updated on 2/24/2023 for your referencebr “Sticky tabs assist in locating items listed as attachments For easy filing, place the tabs on the bottom of the page, not the side Note: this is only applicable when submitting filing at a USCIS lockbox location We recommend that you do not place sticky notes on documents when filing directly with a USCIS service center as that may cause delays in scanning the documents into the electronic database systems”
Comment from : Vanessa Lau

Should I attach photos as evidence of our bona fide relationship as well?
Comment from : Amy B

Hi Kseniya, also another question, can I file i-765 first and send i-131 separately? uscis released this notice on Feb 2022: To improve efficiency and reduce Form I-765 processing times for Form I-485 applicants, we may separate Form I-765 from Form I-131 filed at the same time Effective Feb 1, 2022, when possible, we will adjudicate the request for employment authorization first and, if it is approved, we will issue an Employment Authorization Document without any notation about advanced parole We will adjudicate the Form I-131 separately and, if it is approved, we will issue an advance parole document
Comment from : Rojina Pradhan

Hii Kseniya, thank you for your video Do you recommend using seperate paper clips for different forms when sending the whole packet or just use one large paper clip to put together the documents? Thank you
Comment from : Rojina Pradhan

no sticky notes - copy! what about the black clip - do we send that still?
Comment from : Nan Cy

Hi Kseniya! I have a question, what if I applied I-130 already and I wanted to apply for I-485, how and what are the procedures to submit it? thank you!
Comment from : Joi Berdan

Thank you for your great informational updates! Very helpful!! brQuestion: If you cannot add sticky tabs how do you demarcate sections and items? Seems colored pages are not allowed also? UCCIS says "we recommend that you do not:brHole punch, staple, paper clip, binder clip, or otherwise attach documents to one another" How are all single sided loose papers and supporting docs to be collated together? Can you suggest? Thanks
Comment from : Mind Body Spirit

Where is the cover letter placed?
Comment from : Jami Moiz

Hi Kseniya! Thanks so much for all of this helpful information I'm currently assembling my file and it is turning out to be very large, so I think sticky tabs would be really helpful I see on the USCIS website that they still say sticky tabs would be useful for processing but your video title says they do not accept them anymore Any idea where you read that? Thanks so much!
Comment from : Oana Daniela Dumitru

Hi Kseneya, I see USCIS now does not recommend using sticky tabs, can we still use colored paper to divide sections as you have done in this video?
Comment from : PRABINDRA CHAPAGAIN

Hi Kseniya, I was wondering if you know inn case of applying the form i-130 online, do I still need to add the extra 6 photos to the rest of my forms?
Comment from : Alina I Grad

Wow thank you so much 😊
Comment from : FIB Academy USA

Thank you very much for this video, I just wonder does it apply to the EB i485 too?
Comment from : Mohamed Ismail Abdelrahman

According to that notice, USCIS also doesn't recommend hole punch and clips Am I wrong? wwwuscisgov/newsroom/alerts/recommendations-for-paper-filings-to-avoid-scanning-delays
Comment from : YK

according to USCIS the stick tabs are mentioned there, are there any publication to say they are not allowed anymore?
Comment from : Fabio法比奥

Is this done online niwdays or still on paper????
Comment from : Domeniik

It looks like the guidance for filing by mail allows sticky tabs for locating attachments
Comment from : LW

Thank you so much!
Comment from : Maca Aranda

10 pictures? The attorney said 4… lol
Comment from : OLGA LANDIA

Does anyone know is we can still do this? I saw a form online that stated not to use paper clips/staples/hole punches
Comment from : Keneisa Weaver

If I have a daca and married to a us citizen do I still have to file I-765 and i-131? Or do I just file I-130, i-130a and I-485?
Comment from : AllAbout Alo

Can I submit my form 693 as well?
Comment from : Amy B

How did you get the first papers regarding the fees ?
Comment from : Eren Celik

as a cuban citizen applying for the green card, can I just do the form I-485 and supporting documents without the employment authorizations forms and all the other forms you have on this video ?
Comment from : lianny baques

Hi, Kseniya On G-1450, in the section applicant's/petitoner's /requester information, for i -130 i out my name, i am a us citizen,petitioner, for i-485 payment of 1225$ do i put my name also or my wife's full legal name in this particular section, i am using my credit cards for both forms
Comment from : JakeYang

Do i need to file I-765 if i currently have daca and have had it for 7 years? I also just got married to a us citizen And also on the I-485 when in talks about crimes and violations, does that include minor traffic violations or more serious stuff like DUI’s? I put yes because it said citiations? But i explained later that it was for minor traffic violations
Comment from : Life of Marco

The advice and guidance you give and how easy you explain everything is next level!!!! Thank you so much for doing this <3
Comment from : Ilse Estrada

I’m not asking legal advice, just a friendly advice Instead of sending copy of Drivers liscense, can I send only my passport for safety? And wouldn’t be 6 photos since advance parole and work permit can be just 2 together?
Comment from : Let Mota

Hi! is there a specific folder or envelope i have to buy to put all the form in, or do i just send it with the clip? can someone help me with that please?
Comment from : Laura Panneflek

Hi Kseniya, thank you for all the valuable information you provide! My question is, what supporting documents do I need to submit with my I-130? My spouse lives abroad, do I need to have these documents translated and where can I do this? Thank you very much!
Comment from : Alicia Leach

Kseniya, thank you for the info you have in your channel It is very clear and helpful So thank you very, very muchbrbrIn relation to the note on this video that says that USCIS does not allow sticky notes any more: the recommendation of Green Card Hero and the USCIS web page you linked say otherwise The page update is 10/03/2022 Is there an updated USCIS recommendation page not published yet? brThanks again
Comment from : Diego Romero Montiel

If you are applying for i130 online, in that case how many photos?
Comment from : Mallika Kejriwal

I have a question why did you file form i130 & i130a?
Comment from : Cindy Najera

Hi, as you know you can pay and submit the form I-130 online now If we did that as a first step, do you know when should we send the rest of the forms and do we still have to print and send I-130 form with the rest of the documents? Thank you
Comment from : Tammy Mai

Comment from : Globe Trotter

I usually don't leave comments on videos but I am compelled to leave one for you I followed all the information you have on the adjustment of status process and I was able to complete it by myself and save fees on getting a lawyer It would easily be in the couple hundreds - maybe thousands br brThank you for making this information available It was clear, well-presented, and really one of the best guides I have seen Also, I have recently got my green card for anyone wondering if this works!
Comment from : pyrexflask

Comment from : Shizuko ANIME YT

I filled out the i130 form online months ago and I didn’t know about the i485 and i765 can I still mail in the other two form together
Comment from : melissa P

We are just starting the process & your videos are wonderful We are pursuing consular processing vs AOS - I know we can’t be alone - any way you could assemble that packet? I’m trying to really figure out for consular processing what I need - if it’s just the I-130 (and I-130a) or if there is more and I can’t seem to find anything Do you already have a video outlining these items - if so can you please link brThank you again for this amazing work you’re doing!

Comment from : roberto lopez

Is there anyway you can make a video for organizing papers for visa interview? - haven't found any video on that
Comment from : Afro Rogue

Hello Ksenya! Hope you can respond brDid you put that whole thing in one yellow folder? Or did you separate the forms with a folder for each?brbrAlso can I send it like you with one cover letter or do I have do make a cover letter for each form? I saw that a lot of people do a cover letter for each form but I don’t know if it’s necessary or if it’s okay for me to do one like yours

Hi again!! I can't express how much I appreciate all your videos They are THE BEST! Quick question -- do you have a video on how to create Table of Content for the application packet?

Comment from : lemonsNY

Muchas gracias por toda la información que nos das !!!!
