    Default Adjustment of Status from H1B Based on Marriage

    Situation:
    Me: Indian living in US on H1B (valid until 2013); recently married
    last month (only a week before H1B was stamped).
    Wife: GC holder for less than 6 months. Has been to the US only once
    in Jan2011 to receive GC that was sponsored by her USC uncle long time
    back.

    Question:
    1. Because PD for F2A is 2007 for Indians, I know my wife must file I-130 before I can file I-485. But I am a bit concerned because my marriage is fairly recent and my wife is also a recent GC holder. Do I need to be worried about anything? We can show the joint lease statement etc but what else are we supposed to send with the I-130 package to make my case stronger and less suspicious that marriage was done only to get GC?

    2. Are we missing anything else beside: I-130, G-325a (me and my wife),
    marriage certificate, my birth cert, joint ownership or property etc,
    copy of my wife's GC, photos?

    Default Re: Adjustment of Status from H1B Based on Marriage

    We don't know the facts of your relationship or marriage. Think hard about the evidence you have of your having a long-term, serious, committed relationship and bona fide marriage, and that will be the type of evidence you would present to the USCIS in support of your claim of a bona fide marriage.
