Fountain Square couples should present: a joint lease or mortgage in the 46203 ZIP code, utility bills from AES Indiana or Citizens Energy Group, joint Indiana tax returns, employer health insurance listing both spouses, photos at Indianapolis landmarks like the Fountain Square Theatre, the Cultural Trail, or Garfield Park, and affidavits from neighbors in your Fountain Square apartment or home.

Fountain Square residents request police records from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) at 50 N. Alabama St, Indianapolis, IN 46204, or call (317) 327-3811.

Work & Travel

(2 questions)

Yes. Form I-765 is filed concurrently with I-485 at no extra USCIS fee. Most Fountain Square clients receive their EAD card within 5–7 months. The card allows unrestricted U.S. employment. We advise Fountain Square clients to inform their spouse’s employer so the I-9 can be updated promptly when the EAD arrives.

Only with approved Advance Parole (I-131). We file I-131 for all Fountain Square clients who may need to travel. Leaving the U.S. without advance parole abandons the I-485. For Marion County residents with family emergencies abroad, we can request expedited processing with documented humanitarian grounds.

Waivers & Complex Cases

If you married a U.S. citizen, a visa overstay may be forgiven for immediate relative petitions depending on duration and current status. If consular processing is needed, an I-601A waiver may be required. We review every Fountain Square client’s complete history during the free consultation and recommend the safest path.
