answered on Jul 23, 2023
You must stay if you want to adjust status. You now have immigrant intent for any future admission so advanced parole is mandatory. There may also be other complications with the adjustment. As a result, I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration attorney who... View More

As a sponsor for your husband's Affidavit of Support (Form I-864), you are required to provide evidence of your income from the most recent tax year.

We have sent a request of withdrawing the I-130 to USCIS more than a month ago. After wanting to expedite this request they said they cannot do it and it is going to be processed like the I-130 petition. The processing time will be the same as for the petition itself. On the internet they usually... View More

There is nothing you can do to make USCIS process the withdrawal faster and there is no set deadline for USCIS to send an acknowledgment. But once the withdrawal has been received by USCIS it is effective as of that date. You can try following up on the acknowledgment by submitting an E-request... View More
