We got married inside the United States. She entered the United States on a visitor visa.  We filed the Form I-130 and it was approved. We just received a letter asking if we still want to go further and take the next step to I-485. The letter indicated that we should call or email the NVC to verify we are going through with the next step. We did not hear a reply from them, and CIS told us to keep trying. Should we just send the I-485...</description><pubDate>Mon, 21 Jul 2008 12:00:00 EST</pubDate><link>http://immigration.lawyers.com/ask-a-lawyer/Adjustment-Of-Staus-Or-Consular-Processing-7235.html?method=rss</link></item><item><title>Ask a Lawyer: K-1 Marries Within 90 Days But Does Not File </title><description>My wife came to the U.S. on a K-1 visa and we married within the 90 day period. However, we still have not filed the adjustment of status paperwork.  Is there a time limit on this?  We have now been married over a year.  I cannot find anything that says you need to file within a certain period.</description><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jul 2008 12:00:00 EST</pubDate><link>http://immigration.lawyers.com/ask-a-lawyer/K-1-Marries-Within-90-Days-But-Does-Not-File-7227.html?method=rss</link></item><item><title>Ask a Lawyer: B-2  vs. K-1 vs. K-3 Visa, Which Is Appropriate? </title><description>I have a multiple entry tourist visa to the US.  I am planning to fly in and marry my US citizen fiance later in the year but wish to leave the country without filing for adjustment of status to permanent residency.  We plan to have a church ceremony in my home country after 2 months, and then fly back to the US to file for my residency then.  Is this ok or do I need to stay in the US until I adjust my status?  Will they have reason not to allow me to reenter using my tourist visa?</description><pubDate>Mon, 07 Jul 2008 12:00:00 EST</pubDate><link>http://immigration.lawyers.com/ask-a-lawyer/B-2--vs.-K-1-vs.-K-3-Visa,-Which-Is-Appropriate-7218.html?method=rss</link></item><item><title>Ask a Lawyer: Naturalization Issue: File After Three Years Or Five? </title><description>I got my permanent residency on my own, and then married a US Citizen about 1.25 years later. Unfortunately, the marriage only lasted one year; our divorce has been going on for another 2 years since then. Upon the three year anniversary of our marriage, if the divorce is still in process, can I file for naturalization? Of course, if I wait one more year from now, I will technically have passed the 5 year wait period. We have not been living together during the divorce process.</description><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jun 2008 12:00:00 EST</pubDate><link>http://immigration.lawyers.com/ask-a-lawyer/Naturalization-Issue-File-After-Three-Years-Or-Fi...-7208.html?method=rss</link></item><item><title>Ask a Lawyer: Affidavit Of Support Valuation Issues </title><description>Regarding the I-864 for adjustment of status for a household of four, the 2008 Poverty Guideline $26,500.00.
