Immigration

If you are married to a U.S. citizen and entered the country legally, it does not matter whether your visa is current or if you previously applied for a non-immigrant visa.

You may file your I-485, Application for Adjustment of Status, at the same time. The current filing fee is $1070, which includes the fee for taking your fingerprints and...

Im an asylee grant, and i was wondering when i can apply to be a us citizen?

Four years is correct. A green card holder can seek naturalization (Form N-400) to become a US citizen five years after becoming a permanent resident. When an asylee gets a green card, the date of admission is one year before the date of approval of the adjustment of status application and the wait to apply for naturalization is reduced to four years.

Motion to reopen for OPT denial

You need to retain an attorney to straighten this out while there is still time. Talk to your designated school official (DSO) and explain the problem. Tell him or her that you need to correct this as soon as possible. You could even have your attorney draft a letter for your DSO to sign. If your attorney decides that a motion to reopen is appropriate,having the DSO letter will help. I hope this helps and may God bless you.

EAD is an employment work authorization card. If she applied for or received one, she should answer "Yes". To do otherwise not only could delay processing of your application, but it could jeopardize it as well. See the link below for more information on whether she may have applied for an EAD.

I completed an I-864 for my brother. My income was short by $1200. Can I send additional asset evidence for his interview?

Yes, you may submit additional information to support your claim. Usually they will send out a letter asking for more information if it appears that your income will not meet the poverty level requirements. But you can preempt them by filing the asset information and another affidavit of support. The worst thing that might happen is that they may ask you for it again in Request for Further Evidence. God bless you and I hope this helps.
