Me and my wife just got married. She is a J-1 visa holder (she is a teacher). She still has a year left on her visa, but we are trying to get the paperwork done, maybe even beat the fee increase. Anyway, we know we have to apply for a waiver, the I-130 and a I-485 forms. So I have a couple of questions:
1 - On the J-1 waiver form at the bottom, it asks for the "Purpose of the form" and the "Funding Amount". Is the purpose of the form for immigration to the U.S.? And is the funding amount the amount given to my wife to come here? She has not received any financial help other than her teacher's salary.
2 - On the I-485 form it asks for the application type, however there is not a selection for someone that was here on one type of visa and got married, only the K-1 visa. So do we fill out the "Other" spot and explain it?
