Immigration Site

Hi,
I am married to a US Marine and recently applied for adjustment of status after being out of status for almost 2 years (after my J-1 visa expired). Me and my husband are together since summer 2008 and got married in 2010. I am wondering what should i do while my GC application is processing. My husband has to put me as his dependent but i dont know if its okay to do it. Normally i would wait till i get the GC but if he doesnt declare me as his dependent, we cant be applying for a house, therefore we cant live together. I have read a lot of threads and it seams that the IO asks for how long has the couple been living together. So my question is if we should go ahead and put me as his dependent or wait till after the interview to apply and start living together, and there is always the question of what if he is gonna be deployed....

Day 1 - June 25th - mailed I-130, I-485, I-765, I-864, I-131 all in one package
Day 2 - June 29th - package received
Day 3 - July 10th - NOA received
Day 4 - July 12th - ACS Appointment notice (Biometrics) for July 26th

All opinions welcome. Thank you.

The USCIS has a group dedicated to assisting US Military personnel and their families with immigration issues. Please go the the USCIS website and follow links to the "Military Helpline". It is a small reward that he has earned by his service; please take advantage of it. The service itself has services available to complete legal paperwork that is completed by all prior to deployment (POAs, etc.). He should seek assistance for the dependent issues from his command or the JAG office.

I havent had a chance to reply, but i fallowed your advice and called the military line. They said they dont know anything about this kind of issues and what concerns them is mostly assist the military families in the immigration problems. So i decided to wait and not take chances. When we eventually applied it was after i got my green card approval and found that if we wouldve done it when i was out of status it would have been fine also, they dont have anything to do with that. So military doesnt interfere into governmental issues and vice versa.

i also went to a military lawyer that told me that they dont have a issue with me being out of status and that his command officers should help, but they just didnt. It all happened fast and we got the green card, didnt even need to ask for assistance from his supervisors )))
