Thank you for sharing this! I recently sent out my family-based (through marriage) adjustment of status application, and I am hoping to get an interview in the spring. I have been here under a F-1 visa since 2012, and have been married for over two years, but have been with my partner since 2011. I hope we get approved! It’s great to see these types of videos, and to see lawyers share helpful information with people. You feel very vulnerable applying to be “approved” to stay here, so these videos give me hope.

Because my family based petition is for sibling of a citizen, it takes about 14 years for the petition to be processed (is that the correct way of saying it?) I wonder if age (lol) will be an issue for me to get the Green Card. I'll be 55 by the time 14 years have passed. What are the odds?

Hi, My wife was one of those recently cancelled interviews which was rescheduled. After her interview, she was told that I need to upload 12 months bank statements (I'm using cash to show financial support since I didn't have any tax returns for past 3 years, as I have been leaving with wife in her home country. My question is since my statements show that I maintained a balance of more than 3 times the minimally required yearly income then it should be enough to show my ability to financially support my wife, right?

certain interviews for adjustment of status do not raise red flags, such as employment based adjustment of status, parents of US citizens, when it is a very young marriage in particular 2 years and under, or marriages where each spouse has been married more than once or twice, they will have interviews.
